The repository contains useful scripts I have installed into ~/bin

Overview:

• antiword: converts MS doc files to PDF and opens it.
• connect/disconnect headphone: for more Bluetooth headphones
• file_template: A file template script I use in Vim for creating new files.
• git-credential-pass: integrates pass credentials into git (e.g. for git sendemail)
• inst_perl: wrapper to install perl packages via apt
• mailsync: calls mbsync and notmuch. I use neomutt on this local IMAP cache.

• statusbar: a simple statusbar for dwm
• statuscode: lookup UA statuscodes
• viml: A wrapper for Vim which allows me to open files like vim /path/to/file:1234 at the correct line number. This is convenient to open files printed in compiler output.

• pem2der: converts X509v3 certificates from PEM encoding to DER
• yubikey-switch.sh: Let gpg forget the old Yubikey to fix issues when switching different Yubikeys.

CCache on tmpfs

Overview: These scripts help to move .ccache on a fast tmpfs (RAM disk). On shutdown all files will be archived in the persistent folder .ccache-persistent. On startup the tmpfs gets mounted and the cache gets restored from the persistent folder.

Files

• ccache-make-persistent: Make the current .ccache persistent
• ccache-enable-tmpfs: Restores the .ccache
• ccache-ramdisk.service: Systemd user unit file which handles invocation of the BASH scripts.

Installation

1. Create the directory ~/bin and move the files above to this folder.
2. Create the systemd config directory and install the unit file.

    mkdir ~/.config/systemd/user/
    ln -s ~/bin/ccache-ramdisk.service ~/.config/systemd/user/ccache-ramdisk.service
    sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl --user enable ccache-ramdisk
    sudo systemctl --user start ccache-ramdisk

4. Edit /etc/fstab and add the following entry:

    # put ccache on tmpfs
    none /home/<username>/.ccache tmpfs defaults,noauto,user 0 2
