    Toolbx Linux

    Toolbx Linux

    Tool for interactive command line environments on Linux

    Toolbx is a tool for Linux, which allows the use of interactive command line environments for development and troubleshooting the host operating system, without having to install software on the host. It is built on top of Podman and other standard container technologies from OCI. Toolbx environments have seamless access to the user's home directory, the Wayland and X11 sockets, networking (including Avahi), removable devices (like USB sticks), systemd journal, SSH agent, D-Bus, limits, /dev and the udev database, etc. This is particularly useful on OSTree-based operating systems like Fedora CoreOS and Silverblue. The intention of these systems is to discourage installation of software on the host, and instead install software as (or in) containers — they mostly don't even have package managers like DNF or YUM. This makes it difficult to set up a development environment or troubleshoot the operating system in the usual way.

    LinuxGSM

    LinuxGSM

    The command-line tool for quick, simple deployment and management

    LinuxGSM is the command-line tool for quick, simple deployment and management of Linux dedicated game servers. Traditionally game servers are not easy to manage yourself. Admins often have to spend hours messing around trying to get their server working. LinuxGSM is a command-line tool designed to be as simple as possible, allowing admins to spend less time on management and more time gaming. LinuxGSM will run on popular distros as long as the minimum requirements are met. Each game server has specific dependency requirements. Visit a specific game server installation page on the LinuxGSM website to check dependency requirements for the game server you want to install. LinuxGSM keeps itself and your game server updated. Using methods available from game developers to update including, SteamCMD, custom JSON or file archives, LinuxGSM can make sure you are running the latest version of your game server.

    RVM

    RVM

    Ruby enVironment Manager (RVM)

    RVM is a command-line tool that allows you to easily install, manage, and work with multiple ruby environments from interpreters to sets of gems. RVM is the acronym of Ruby enVironment Manager. It manages Ruby application environments and enables switching between them. RVM lets you deploy each project with its own completely self-contained and dedicated environment, from the specific version of ruby, all the way down to the precise set of required gems to run your application. Having a precise set of gems also avoids the issue of version conflicts between projects, which can cause difficult-to-trace errors and hours of hair loss. With RVM, no other gems than those required are installed. This makes working with multiple complex applications, where each has a long list of gem dependencies, much more efficient. RVM lets you easily test gem upgrades, by switching to a new clean set of gems to test with, while leaving your original set intact.

    TraceMAC - Traceroute for MAC addresses

    TraceMAC - Traceroute for MAC addresses

    TraceMAC is a command-line Layer 2 traceroute for Cisco switches

    TraceMAC is a Windows/Linux command-line tool that allows you to trace a specific MAC address thru Cisco switches. It works by connecting to a switch using SSH, SNMP, Telnet, HTTP or HTTPS and do some "show commands" and later process the output, this will happen recursively until it finds the switch where that MAC address (PC/Printer/Etc) is directly connected. Note: It works with Cisco switches only and you must have CDP enabled at least on trunks/links between switches! Is tested with Cisco switches: Catalyst: 2960,3560,3750,4948,6509,9200,9300,9500 (All protocols) Nexus: C9332C, 93180YC-EX (NX-OS SSH) Express 500 (HTTP) FYI: It uses Nbtscan.exe (NetBIOS) as a alternative method to discover the mac address of a host and now seems that it is considered a malware. Anyway it is just a simple network tool that can scan the network similar to NMAP or Angry IP Scanner, etc...

    Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32Bit

    Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32Bit

    A Custom Puppy Linux Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32 Bit

    After Booting with this Live CD, just click on the CDROM icon on the Desktop, to open its folder contents, then Right Click the zerofree.sh file and Choose the "Run in Terminal" option and then follow the instructions shown on the terminal. As you may be aware, Booting with a Live CD, requires that you need to change the Boot Order on your System / Guest BIOS, quickly on startup, by pressing either F2 OR F12 OR F10 OR an equivalent key and then change the Boot Order to boot from the CDROM first. Some Hints: Puppy Linux Live CDs show some dialogs / settings window on first startup / first shutdown. Feel free to dismiss / close them, if you do not want to make any changes, to the live cd's operation, next time, on the same system. This will not affect the zerofree's work in any way. Apart from this, using the Internet Browser, built in, would require a Free Memory of 1 GB or more, for better Performance ( as it is generally a memory intensive activity )

    Batch Audio Convert

    Batch Audio Convert

    Command-line mass conversion of any directory tree of audio files.

    BAC is a command-line tool that converts, to a target audio file format, all the audio files stored in a directory tree of any depth. Supported file formats are OGG, FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, WAV, in all ways, and WMA as source. Main audio tags are preserved in the process, as well as most file name characters (white spaces, question marks etc). BAC runs on Linux and probably most UNIX-type OSes. On Windows, it must be operated from the Cygwin environment. It requires the following software to be installed: - flac and metaflac (flac files only) - vorbis-tools (ogg files only) - faac and faad (aac files only) - lame and madplay (mp3 files only) - alac-decoder and mpeg4ip-utils (ALAC decode) - ffmpeg (ALAC encode, wma decode) - mplayer (wma decode) - mp4v2-utils (AAC, ALAC, WAV decode) BAC is now optimized for multiprocessing on multicore systems: a tunable number of cores can be used for simultaneous conversions.

    ADOMA
    ADOMA stands for: Alternative Display Of Multiple Alignment. ADOMA can create four different displays of a multiple sequence alignment: a ClustalW alignment in HTML format, a simplified ClustalW alignment in HTML and/or txt format and a colored ClustalW alignment in HTML format. For examples of these outputfiles check the screenshots. ADOMA uses ClustalW to create the multiple alignment from DNA or protein sequences and displays them slightly different than the normal output of ClustalW. ADOMA is a commandline program that can easily be used in pipelines. For more information check the README.md in the Files section. How to cite ADOMA: Zaal, D. and Nota, B.

Create a directory named doc/architecture/decisions containing the first ADR, which records that you are using ADRs to record architectural decisions and links to Michael Nygard's article on the subject. Create a new ADR file that is flagged as superceding ADR 9, and changes the status of ADR 9 to indicate that it is superceded by the new ADR. It then opens the new ADR in your editor of choice.
