Anyone know of a program for Linux (GUI is fine, extra points for CLI) to keep track of lunar phases without an internet connection?

@arisunz oh there was actually a specific one I knew but I don't remember it anymore, ugh

@pea I'm glad this isn't as weirdly specific as I thought at least, lol

@pea weirdly enough there is a few Python packages to calculate the position of the sun and moon on pip

@arisunz @pea
probably useful to astronomers and weather people

@arisunz @pea
well, and witches, but you already knew that

@jordyd @pea kind of, witches prefer Rust

Oh. There is command in Emacs for that.

ALT + X → lunar-phases

OF COURSE THERE IS

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 02:30

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 02:30

It comes by default, too

what the fuck

@arisunz there's pom(6) as part of openbsd's games category, linux port shouldn't be too hard.

@mallaidh hhHhhh I don't want to have to adapt that

Also not quite what I'm looking for, I'm better off making some sort of table in Python

@arisunz what do you need to know exactly?

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 02:46

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 02:46

@Efi a table with the current and few next lunar phases

The ability to search for the next X full moons of waxing moons, for example, would be nice, too

@arisunz should be easy to make, the times are fixed ~for some reason~

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 03:03

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 03:03

@Efi I mean yeah, probably

🐱💤 @Efi@mastodon.social · May 27, 2018, 03:07

@arisunz maybe I can figure out how to make one from the system time of the computer...

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 03:09

**Ari Myr** @arisunz · May 27, 2018, 03:09

@Efi there's Python packages to calculate the position of the sun and moon which is what I'd look for

If I actually wanted to do that myself

Which I kinda don't rn
