Finally got around to making the globe-cli program interface with Conky. I had to add a command line argument for requesting a single, customizable animation frame and write a custom function for generating the output for use outside of terminals (thank you to the anon that mentioned figuring out what terminal library they were using. It was crossterm.) From there, you can use Conky's built in "if_updatenr" object to request a different animation frame every time Conky updates.

I did this because I wanted a cute little globe to spin whenever I was connected to the World Wide Web.

But I'll still probably do more. The globe program can raycast light on the globe and render the night side in a more muted texture. If you feed in the right coordinates (i.e. solar noon) you can have the globe reflect a real-time accurate day night cycle. All you would need to easily approximate this is your coordinates and the current time. The strange thing is that the globe program doesn't operate in geographical coordinates, but instead 0.0-1.0 coordinates. Still it shouldn't be super difficult to map +/- 90 and 180 to the simple coordinates globe-cli uses. And this would be a little more difficult, but if you can feed in geo coords, you could do stuff like mark your current location on the globe with a special color/symbol.
