dnssec-trigger

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/dnssec-trigger

This package installs unbound and enables DNSSEC automatically along with a systray icon to show the status and allow configuration.

Given the recent assaults on the Internet's DNS protocols[1], this is an extremely useful package.

MPC. What is it? It is a minimalist command line interface to MPD. I have been using it for a long time and realized that I don't need anything else.

fizsh: Friendly Interactive ZSHell

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/fizsh

Fizsh is a frontend to Zsh. It provides the user with interactive syntax highlighting and a Matlab-like history search facility. At the same time it can handle Bourne syntax.

So it acts like fish but it's really zsh with fancy clothes.

Another similar alternative would be grml's zsh configuration, which is ****ing lovely:

https://grml.org/zsh/

But don't bother with oh-my-zsh, it's a pile of garbage

I didn't even know that it existed. Thank you for the link.

But don't bother with oh-my-zsh, it's a pile of garbage

I agree with you.

vnstat
vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor. It keeps a log of hourly, daily and monthly network traffic for the selected interface(s) but is not a packet sniffer. The traffic information is analyzed from the proc filesystem. That way vnStat can be used even without root permissions.

Porn Filters Compared: OpenDNS, Neustar, CleanBrowsing, Norton, Yandex and AdGuard
https://hackernoon.com/porn-filters-com ... 1f207062c4

Out of the 88 porn domains, I expected all of them to be blocked. Only CleanBrowsing blocked them all, with Norton SafeConnect very close in second place by missing 5 domains:

CleanBrowsing: 100% blocked
Norton: 94% blocked (83 blocked, 5 not blocked)
Yandex: 93% blocked (82 blocked, 6 not blocked)
OpenDNS: 89% blocked (79 blocked, 9 not blocked)
Neustar: 81% blocked (72 blocked, 16 not blocked)

Testing free proxies
There are many easy to use free proxies that should be blocked when you are filtering access to pornographic content. When testing the top 10 free proxy domains, only OpenDNS and CleanBrowsing blocked all of them.

zsh-syntax-highlighting

For zsh shell users who prefer to stick to a limited common shell list (sh, dash, bash, zsh), command syntax highlighting (same as fizsh) can be enabled in zsh by installing zsh-syntax-highlighting Debian package.

Zsh Syntax Highlighting demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPc5hghjpyI

Simply add this code to the end of ~/.zshrc

Code: Select all

# zsh-syntax-highlighting

fuse-zip
https://linux.die.net/man/1/fuse-zip
fuse-zip is a fuse filesystem, that enables any program to work with a ZIP archive as though it is a plain directory. Unlike KIO or Gnome VFS, it can be used in any application without modifications.
Unlike other FUSE filesystems, only fuse-zip provides write support to ZIP archives.
Also, fuse-zip is faster that all known implementations on large archives with many files.

USAGE

General usage would look like this

1 mkdir /tmp/zipArchive
2 fuse-zip foobar.zip /tmp/zipArchive
3 (do something with the mounted file system)
4 fusermount -u /tmp/zipArchive

Be patient. Wait for fuse-zip process finish after unmounting, especially on a big
archives.

Very usefull to safe disk space by launching app without deploying it

Example.:

cutvid.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
pathLosscut="/tmp/LosslessCut-linux-x64"
fusermount -u "$pathLosscut"
mkdir -p "$pathLosscut"
fuse-zip -r -o nonempty  /home/user/LINUXDEBS/progs/LosslessCut-linux-x64.zip "$pathLosscut/"

cd "$pathLosscut/LosslessCut-linux-x64"
./LosslessCut &
