was kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html Various tools to diddle with one’s CPU.
(on Wikipedia) A program to present a commandline dialog, letting a scripter get user input. Capable enough for everyday scripts. Capable enough that to get a “GUI” dialog, I would rather spawn a terminal and use
was freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/numlockx/ A GUI program that turns NumLock on. Great for turning it on as X starts. Why ever numlock would be turned off by default is beyond me. It’s not that I can’t see a use for it as a cursor pad, but it’s a number pad. That’s just not “use for those keys”. That’s their damned name!
https://sourceforge.net/projects/unclutter/ Hides the mouse after inactivity. For such a simple idea and small tool, this is an important program for me. Software > was http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/xautolock Monitors X activity, and runs a program I use this for slock to lock the screen after inactivity. http://git.suckless.org/slock/ A simple screen saver. Combined with xautolock, this does everything it needs to.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/diffuse/ A GUI side-by-side difference program. To solve the problem of file-comparisons, I need something far more visual than commandline tools can give me. Diffuse does its job spectacularly well. TODO – add my notes, and scripts
Storage > Software > smartmontools > (on Wikipedia) A suite of HDD tools. I find it essential. I think.
TODO – add my notes, and scripts was http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/jpegoptim/ Optimizes JPEG images, performing magic to reduce size, or optionally stripping metadata for even further savings, or performing lossy re-compression for potentially extraordinary size reduction. I like this idea, and it’s actually freed up a significant amount of space. Being able to take a 5MB file and knock it down to 1MB while maintaining excellent visual quality.. is astonishing |
