Fun scripts from tablespoon
adblocker.sh- blocks ads and malware at router-level (OpenWrt only)- Documentation can be found here.
auto-blockip- squashes breakin attempts automaticallyawesome-background-changer- randomly select a new wallpaper every hour (gnome 2 only!)bt-auto-lock- lock/unlock gnome 2 session based on cell phone proximity- you will need to create ~/lib/bluetooth-phone and add "MAC=<your phone's bluetooth mac address>" to it for this to work
cli-clock- make a clock with ANSI art- --world : shows multiple clocks with timezone labels
- --24hour : displays a 24-hour clock (this is the default)
- --12hour : displays a 12-hour clock
- This script can also be used to print strings. For a demonstration, try: ./cli-clock 'Hello, world!'
- Because of tiny memory leaks in bash, this script will eventually (over the course of weeks/months) begin to lag a little bit. The python re-implementation below doesn't have as many features as this bash version, but it can run indefinitely without any slowdown. I submitted a bug report to the bash devs (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-01/msg00012.html), but they didn't seem to think it was worth fixing.
cli-clock.py- re-implementation of cli-clock using python- Prettier than the bash version, and unaffected by bash's tiny memory leaks. However, only provides basic clock functionality.
- You can turn it into a 24-hour clock by uncommenting line 130.
cpi- bash parallel pi estimatorcpi.py- python pi estimator (not parallel... my bash is stronger than my python)last_n_minutes- bash script to print the last N minutes of a standard linux log filenvidia-update- check for (and optionally download) a newer nvidia driver
