posix-shell: utils: Add automeson()

2026-07-09T07:46:34Z

This function allows to run `meson compile -C ` always for a given build directory whenever an also given file is written. This is especially useful to edit LaTeX files and let them update automatically on each save of the editor with automeson, meson and latexmk. The performance is so good that it speeds up the LaTeX and especially TikZ development significantly.

posix-shell: utils: Add `lar()`

2025-07-26T08:58:52Z

The list archive (`lar`) util creates a temporary directory, unpacks the given tar archive into it, switches to that folder, starts the terminal file manager `lf` and on quit jumps back and deletes the temporary directory. This is useful to quickly inspect the contents of a tar archive.

posix-shell: Add aerc alias

2024-12-20T20:49:53Z

This prefixes `aerc` with `mbsync -a &&`. While I prefer IMAP connections on aerc I want to regularly copy all mails from the server to my machine to have a backup on disk. This can be viewed even without an internet connection and is included in my BTRFS-based snapshot backups.
