Multiple scripts that are useful but don't deserve their own repository.
This is often a repository when I work on small ideas until they're big enough to deserve thier own repo and README. This readme may very well be outdated or inaccurate!
There are a lot of ways to get content into Obsidian, but sometimes I want to pull an image or file and drag-and-drop it into Element, Discord, whatever. However, that reveals the Obsidian URI to some (all?) applications, not the filename, making the operation fail. This is a workaround.
This uses Dragon to provide the drag and drop target.
Usage - call drag-out-of-obsidian.sh (using the Shell Commands plugin), then
drag whatever from Obsidian to the target. It will then process the provided Obsidian
URL, provide the file name to a SECOND instance of Dragon (after making sure it
is escaped to deal with spaces), which will give you a target to drop on
your other application.
The root of my vaults are symlinked into ${HOME}/vault, e.g.
/vault/Brain /vault/DnD5e /vault/Writing
thus allowing for consistent rewriting even though they live in very different
parts of my file structure. You will want to replace the \/home\/steven\/vault\/
with the equally escaped directory that you moved or symlinked all your vaults to.
sed 's|obsidian:\/\/open?vault=|\/home\/steven\/vault\/|g' | sed -e 's/%2F/\//g' -e 's/%20/ /g'
Use the Shell Commands plugin to invoke, optionally use Commander plugin to add an icon to the ribbon or somesuch.
You may need to add the $PATH variables to Shell Commands, depending on where you have the dragon binary located.
Examples: I can drag to Thunar, not Discord... but this script fixes it.
I can't drag to upload to imgur... but this script fixes it.
See this post on my blog for a full description of how to use this script.
A simple script using zenity and pkexec to allow for interactive mounting of ISO files with a GUI interface.
Because sometimes I want to see what packages are installed or available quickly. Use -i to have it auto-sub in [installed] to the fzf search string. Also uses dpkg search to list what the package installs.
Scripts for moving and manipulating video and pulse streams easily. See https://ideatrash.net/2022/02/manipulating-audio-and-video-streams-for-streaming-on-linux.html
Because sometimes you want a GUI and the speed of a command line, and just want to say something stupid on Mastodon without firing up a browser or Sengi or grabbing your phone, or or or...
Uses YAD and toot to have a GUI for sending a quick toot (with possible image attachments, content warnings, and alt text. Includes interactive image selector and displaying the image while you are presented with a dialogue box to enter alt text.
Patootie uses the environment variable TOOTACCT to specify the tooting account otherwise it uses whichever one is currently active in toot.
You may specify the full path to an image file as the first (and only) command-line variable to "pre-load" the image attachment portion of the script.
Uses yad to present a simple GUI for adding
entries to todo.txt file. See the yad-todo.png file for what it might look like.
If the program is not running, ensure that it is getting the todo.txt file passed to it!
Uses fd, fzf, and keepassxc-cli to provide a quick and easy way to retrieve passwords from the command line. By default copies the password to the clipboard. If you don't want to type your password (or select your database location) every time, you can set them as environment variables.
See this post for details.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. $1 is the string to search, $2 is the path to the icon file
A transparent wrapper for surfraw that utilizes fzf https://terminalizer.com/view/4d1fd3b34309
A wrapper for youtube-dl to make easier (and automate) some things.
Uses fzf, rofi, fd (optional), and xclip to choose an image, get it onto the clipboard, and select it for pasting. Works for JPG and PNG, does NOT work for GIF, sadly.
Launch a process in a new pane, zoom the pane, kill the pane when done.
Create a sidebar (e.g. for reading manpages) and kill when done.
Create a vertical split and kill when done.
Used along with Podfox to create a daily briefing without involving Google or Amazon or Apple. The post detailing this is at ideatrash.
To dynamically create a list of virtualbox VM's (and allow you to run them) as an OpenBox pipe menu
While these aren't exactly speedy or optimized, they do what I want;
they show me the top five memory using (or CPU using, respectively)
commands. That is, it lumps all vivaldi-bin or firefox-bin
processes together before doing the calculation and sort. That way I can
see what commands are eating up everything.
A small note - processes from bash, python, and java (at present) are not excluded, but the command they're running is what is counted. So for example, these three commands:
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/kupfer/kupfer.py --no-splash
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/autokey-gtk
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/dstat -c -C 0,1,total -d -s -n -y -r
are not lumped together, but are treated as separate commands.
