Post scripts you wrote to automate whatever you do all day long.
OP is a fag and starts with an 8chan thread image downloader:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
IFS='/'
args=(${1%%#*})
dir="8chan-${args[3]}-${args[5]%.html}-images"
wget -r -l 1 \
  -nc -nd -P "$dir" --content-disposition \
  -I "tech/src" \
  -e "robots=off" \
  "$1"
rm "$dir/${args[5]}"

Not really a full on script, but sure I'll contribute

#!/bin/bash

#take a screenshot and save that to /tmp/lockpic.png
scrot /tmp/lockpic.png

#add a gaussian blur and save that, overwriting the first picture
convert /tmp/lockpic.png -blur 0x5 /tmp/lockpic.png

#add the overlay located at ~/.cheeselock/archlogo.png to the blurred screenshot and save that as /tmp/lockpic.png
composite ~/.cheeselock/arch-logo-2.png /tmp/lockpic.png /tmp/lockpic.png

#start i3lock with the overlayed + blurred picture at /tmp/lockpic.png
i3lock -i /tmp/lockpic.png

>inb4 do you really need that many comments?
This was one of the first bash scripts I made, so yes I needed the comments and haven't bothered to change it since

Result looks like pic related

$ cat x-www-browser 
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $1 =~ ^http ]]; then #http, https
  url=$1
else # everything else
  url="http://$1"
fi
escaped=$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0], "(),");' "$url")
firefox -P default -remote "openURL(${escaped}, new-tab)"

Forces new links to be opened in the default profile if you have multiple firefox instances running. You could also add url based routing to open facebook in a containment profile, if you swing that way.

That's actually fucking neat.

so i set that as default browser and it does different shit depending on the link? this has potential

That would need more (mostly trivial) work but yes. The hardest part was to find a way to reliably open a url in a specific profile and that profile only.

Tries to identify every youtube link on a page and download the audio from them.
Youtube-dl doesn't download same name'd vid's twice, which is nice.


wget $1 -O source.html
grep -Poe "[^\'\"< >]+youtu[^\'\"< >]*" source.html | grep -v ".jpg" > downlist
for f in `cat downlist`
do
echo "sending youtube-dl after $f"
youtube-dl $f -x
done

I made a shell script thread on /tech/ a while ago. If someone wants something from the list, ask.

Edit the clipboard to prevent unwanted linebreaks and "invisible paste" type attacks:

#!/bin/sh
temp=$(mktemp)
echo "### clipboard ###" > "$temp"
xclip -o >> "$temp"
env emulator=urxvt uvim -b -c 'set noeol' "$temp" +
sed 1d "$temp" | xclip -i
rm "$temp"

uvim:

#!/bin/sh
exec ${emulator:=urxvtcd} -e vim "$@"

cc.sh is a like a gcc alias that automatically output filename if the input is filename.c


#!/bin/bash
output="${1%.*}"
[ -e "$output" ] && mv "$output" "$output.save"
gcc "$1" -o "$output" -fdiagnostics-color=auto ${@:2}

gdb_popup is a dirty and shitty script to use gdb with ncurses programs.


#!/bin/bash
tty="$(sed 's/\/dev\/pts\///' <<< $(tty))"
sakura --execute "sleep infinity" &
gdb --quiet --tui --tty "/dev/pts/$((tty + 1))" "$1"

And webm convert a video to a webm (no way) with optional resizing and quality settings (don't care about the size while making it 8chan compatible).

It's used to create a thumbnail of a cover (if your covers are in the same folder as your album's songs), stock it in a cache and copy it somewhere (tmp here). You can then use conky to exec the script and display it, like pic related.
