Short description

make links (overwrites, with backup) following files in your $HOME with my defaults:

• .tmux.conf with Ctrl+\ for switching panes
  • Two times to switch back and forth
  • Ctrl+\ and \ to send Ctrl+\
  • WARNING! If you get trained to this (like me), you might send SIGQUIT to various shell processes if you are not in tmux
  • Have a look into the file to see all sequences
• .vimrc which enables various things
  • look into it, it is commented accordingly
• .apt if you are root
  • ./.apt (in directory /root) is my way to upgrade my systems
  • It automatically disables PDiffs. Even those the maintainers try to enforce against your will.
  • It does a (re)build of DKMS for all installed kernels
  • It also removes all no more needed previous versions of SNAPs to free up precious space in /var
  • It does not update SNAPs, though, because SNAPs cannot be cached. I have to manually tear down firewalls first to update SNAPs.
  • To see which firewall rules are needed for SNAPs, have a look at the ever changing https://snapcraft.io/docs/network-requirements
  • Also note that firewall holes need a static set of IPs of course. Dynamic things like domains are forbidden in secure contexts.

Put $HOME/bin into your path (usually this is already the case) to get this commands:

• fixaudio.sh kills and reloads pulseaudio.
  • When the audio starts to sound crappy at my side (which usually happens after switching on monitors) this fixes the problem.
  • It also tries to restore the previous output device profile, however this is very experimental
• side-by-side FILEs.. puts the files side by side and automatically adopts to the maximum file length in each file
  • Example: side-by-side <(df -h) <(df -hi)
  • stdin is read if no file is given or - is present
  • -vSEP=" seprarator " selects another separator
  • You can give other awk options as well (as this is just some awk script)

Following *vim.sh scripts work together with my .vimrc, such that you can put the debug call into Makefile as the default rule. If you then press M in vim this runs everything and automatically jumps to the first issue.

• bash2vim.sh ./script args.. to debug bash scripts with vim
• node2vim.sh nodejs script.js args.. to debug node type JavaScript with vim
• python3vim.sh ./python-script.py args.. to debug Python3 scripts
  • watch python3vim.sh to see the full debug output of the last invocation

autostart/ contains some of my autostart scripts.

• Read the introductory comment on the scripts for what they are.
• They are installed or activated manually with something like
  ln -s --relative autostart/SCRIPT.sh ~/autostart/
• This assumes you do autostarts like I do, see:
  https://github.com/hilbix/ptybuffer/blob/master/script/autostart.sh
