PrivateBin and zenity.

PrivateBin

Today I got a PrivateBin instance running on my server. I can now use it to share info in IRC or on Gemini if needed.

If you want anyone can use it. https://paste.kglitchy.com

zenity

Okay TIL about zenity: gemini://tobykurien.com/articles/2026-01-14-zenity.gmi

This tool is super cool. It's a GTK+ utility that allows you to create simple dialogs from the command line. It's made for gathering information from a user as part of a script or application.

zenity --info --text="Hello, World!"
zenity --file-selection --directory
