Airstatus Fork Update: Clean table, output refreshes instead of lists, and color-coded battery levels/charging status. Airpods battery levels for Linux


Airpods Max output as table. Not charging.
Airpods Max output as table. Charging.

I do not claim this script. This was built off of Delphiki's fork of Faglo's original Airstatus. They did the complicated stuff. They're the real heroes. I'm just a UI/UX nerd. I like things to look nice.

Fork here: github.com/SleepyScribe/AirSta…

I've added a few changes to my Airstatus fork just for my peace of mind. The new output can be used as a tiling WM status monitor. I'm in the motions of diving into KDE JSON/XML/QML spaghetti to see if I can make a widget, but its not going well. However, you can still specify an output file that will update with the raw data in it's original, unaltered form. This should allow hoodoo programming wizards to hook up their own OS front ends for the data. I may see if I can make it so that the raw data clears the line before adding a new update, just because I can see the output file getting unwieldy after a while.

The new table will output battery levels from green-yellow-red depending on charge level. Caret and input are disabled while retaining the ability to break out with CTRL+C. Breakout is now clean with no text and clears terminal. This was to keep things as neat as possible if you should use it as a CLI monitor. Update interval is set to 4 seconds. Airpods and Airpods Pro should have columns for left/right/case. I can't test as I gave mine away to a friend.

Let me know if you have or see any issues, I'll try my best to address them. Font is Recursive NerdFont DuoTone if you're curious. Its a mono that changes to a casual style for bold and/or italic text. There's also normal sans and casual sans versions. Has ligatures.

Around 62% of managed colonies perished in a devastating wave of losses that swept across the US from June 2024 to January this year. In contrast, China saw a 25% increase on the last survey to a record 15 million colonies last year.

The US model relies on large-scale, clustered operations where single apiaries may contain thousands of colonies. China’s apiculture, however, is dominated by relatively small-scale farming and apiaries usually manage under 100 colonies.

"Thompson also called President Trump a racist, pointing to a truthful statement he made in 2023 where he denounced criminal illegal aliens for “poisoning the blood of our country.” And she accused Trump and Noem without evidence of linking TPS recipients with criminal aliens.

“Color is neither a poison nor a crime,” Thompson said. “The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood,” she added. “The Court disagrees.”

Rejecting conspiracy theories that President Clinton killed Vince Foster, a report out this week from independent counsel Kenneth Starr has officially concluded that Vince Foster took his own life.

Among other things, the report cites evidence that Foster was deeply depressed in the days leading up to his death.

Although the report does concede, Foster was deeply depressed because President Clinton was trying to murder him.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)"
