A MUD game server. It supports traditional Telnet/MU* clients, and also comes with (optional) web server software that creates a complete web-client for user who surf to it with their web browser.
I thought this was a separate server with a separate client which used a web browser as its GUI. It is not that.

A client renown for actually being developed.
Oh my god it's like I'm the first person to look at the website or use the program.

https://github.com/philbot9/youtube-comment-scraper/
Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
WARNING - Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned.
See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

https://github.com/tylerhall/simple-url-shortener
Make your own URL shortener. e.g. for the owner of example.com links can be shortened like so:
amazon.com/some/long/URL?foo=bar&baz&lots_of_text_lots_of_text_lots_of_text
to
example.com/abcd2
Includes statistics.
Impressively simple and easy to use. I chose it because it has one single very small script.

Everything is frail to failure. Be it hardware, software, data, business relationships, or people, nothing is immortal and immutable.
Many things are immediately recognized; the hardware and software, but we fail to see people; the wetware. They represent the intellectual backbone of major projects, the "wet infrastructure" upon which our technology relies, and when they cannot contribute, their projects suffer and we suffer. Their influence isn't just notable, but critical.
For the internet, esr calls them Load-Bearing Internet People.

https://youtube-dl.org/
A commandline downloader for YouTube videos and playlists (and not comments). Also works for a surprising number of other websites.
It has no competition, so I guess I can say that it'll have to do, but it really is good.
