The receive functionality is quite unstable, however useful enough for something that is officially unsupported. The gadget is picky about cables, but it has ridiculous reach when it works. |

desktop-tools
desktop-tools is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful to other people as well:
-
'wmstatus' does literally everything i3/sway don’t but I’d like them to. It includes PulseAudio volume management and custom-made NUT and MPD clients, all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software, of course
-
'paswitch' displays a list of all PulseAudio sinks and ports and allows switching between them, moving all playing inputs
-
'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have
-
'input-switch' likewise switches the input source of external displays
-
'fancontrol-ng' is a clone of fancontrol that can handle errors on resume from suspend instead of setting fans to maximum speed and quitting; in general it doesn’t handle everything the original does
-
'priod' sets process CPU, I/O and OOM killer priorities automatically according to configuration
-
'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb and nmcli that are painfully lacking it
-
'iexec' runs a program and attempts to restart it cleanly when the executable file is replaced on the disk
-
'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch user screen
-
'siprandom' uses the SipHash 2-4 algorithm to produce a stream of pseudo-random data; it should be fast enough to saturate most devices
-
'big-brother' tracks the title of the active window and the idle state of the user and writes these events to standard output.
-
'elksmart-comm' interfaces with ELK Smart infrared dongles, partially reimplementing the Ocrustar mobile app.
Few of them are useful outside of Linux.
Packages
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough.
Building
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included)
Runtime dependencies: libpulse, libx11, dbus-1
Optional runtime dependencies:
libusb-1.0 (elksmart-comm), libgdm (gdm-switch-user)
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/desktop-tools.git $ mkdir desktop-tools/build $ cd desktop-tools/build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug $ make
To install the applications, you can do either the usual:
# make install
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ cpack -G DEB # dpkg -i desktop-tools-*.deb
