## Scripts

a collection of personal scripts. A few worked way back in time, some need a complete rewrite but 90% are perfectly usable.

#### backlight\_change.sh

####  bigpkg.py

List Archlinux's installed packages by size. By Allan McRae

#### cert-hashing.sh

Hash a SSL certificate

#### clitwitter.py

Old script to post on Twitter with Basic Authentication. Need to be updated with
OAuth but I've since switched to TTYtter

#### compare\_images.py

A script to compare images in a directory for similarity. It returns 
only those similar but not identical in a list. At this moment the list 
contains all images that have at least another very similar but doesn't 
check if they are similar with all the other images in the list, ending 
up with different couples of similar images but not all very similar. I 
found it too long to loop again and again to check all the images among 
themselves or return different lists for each group of similar images

#### cortex\_reddits.py

Browse (sub)reddits with the Reddit client cortex. Totally an hack, subscribing 
them on Reddit is much easier but I didn't want to read all my subscriptions 
each time so I wrote this script to choose what and when to browse

#### csv\_to\_md\_files.py

A script, not mine, that converts a CSV file to a series of markdown files 
based off the first column of the CSV file. It is useful to export sheets from 
Excel or GDocs to markdown to be edited then in Obsidian

#### dayoftheweek.py

Not my script originally, I just made it Python 3.2 compatible

totally pointless but you'll never imagine the use case that made me write it... 
:)

terminals. It checks whether a url is to an image, and open it in feh, or to 
something else, and open it in the browser

repository](https://github.com/dracula/i3lock-color) for i3lock-color.

#### imap\_check.py

Launched at boot from your WM/DE, it detects thanks to xinput whether a 
mouse is present or not and disable/enable the touchpad accordingly. It 
goes along with the udev rules, completing it as with udev it can only

Automatic detection of different partition, on desktop or laptop

address)

Add currently playing song in MPD to a playlist using ncmpcpp or cmus (quite 
easily expanded for other players). The original script allowed only to rate

editing. Basically it generates an image containing informations such as 
filename, size, lenght and codec of a video along with a series of thumbnails to

A service and timer couple to overwrite every 10 minutes the /etc/hosts file
with a copy that is on one of my personal directories. That's because the file

advertisement/malware/adware/etc. to ban every few minutes and I need
/etc/hosts to be synced with this updated file
