https://lame.sourceforge.io/
An MP3 transcoder.
This has been an essential part of my toolkit for as long as I’ve had CDs. These days I use it primarily to convert various other audio formats to MP3.
my rip-audio-from-video.sh script uses lame.

https://github.com/tjko/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

Used for preparing a LiveUSB for Linux distributions‘ .ISO files. Instead of using a CD or DVD, use a USB stick.
Use UNetbootin instead. Although doing the same thing (un7zipping), unetbootin works MUCH faster.
