Post worthless scripts you've made

why not post this as a gist or something? there are things that you could update to make this script less susceptible to breaking.

also
>listo as variable name
ugh

> 1x1 colored elements in html
Were you the OP in that thread from awhile ago asking about that, or are you somebody who decided to make it for them?

Both

made a crappy little wrapper for apt, since i was tired of doing update, upgrade, clean, etc.

>what are aliases

>>57481764
it's a little function in a script that i added to my bin folder.

so just barely above an alias.

import time
print("""long cat is\n    /\___/\\1 \n   /       \\2 \n  |  #    # |3\n  \     @   |4\n   \   _|_ /5\n   /       \______6\n  / _______ ___   \\7\n  |_____   \   \__/8\n   |    \__/9\n   |       |10""")
count = 10
time.sleep(2.0)
while True:
    count = count +1
    if count > 8995:
        break
    print("   |       |"+str(count))
print("   |       |8996\n   /        \ 8997\n  /   ____   \ 8998\n  |  /    \  |8999\n  | |      | |9000\n /  |      |  \ 9001\n \__/      \__/)"+"Long!")

You have to have the requests module and openmpt123 (or any other MOD player) installed. Then, pure bliss.

import requests
import subprocess

def save_module(): #Gets a module and saves it to audio_out
    page_file = requests.get("http://lite.modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_random")
    page = page_file.text
    i = page.index("eid=") #We want to know the XXXXXXX and "eid=" is the closest unique string
    mod = requests.get("http://api.modarchive.org/downloads.php?moduleid="+(page[i+4:page.index("#", i)]), stream=True)
    with open("audio_out", "wb") as file:
        for chunk in mod.iter_content():
            file.write( chunk )

while(1):
    save_module()
    player = subprocess.call("openmpt123 audio_out",shell=False)

funny but ugly code

script to automatically scrape videos from my subscribed youtube channels and save them to my disk for later viewing

#!/bin/env ruby

require 'json'
require 'uri'
require 'shellwords'

rate = "10M"
template = '/z/youtube/%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'

queue = JSON.parse(`notmuch show --format=json tag:rssqueue`)

queue.each do |thread|
    msg = thread[0][0]
    body = msg['body']
    url = URI.extract(body[0]['content'])[1]


    system "youtube-dl -r #{rate} -o #{Shellwords.escape template} #{Shellwords.escape url}"
    system "notmuch tag -rssqueue +rss -- id:#{Shellwords.escape msg['id']}"
end

#!/usr/bin/env perl
# tmpx - extract archive to temp dir
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;
use File::Temp qw(tempdir);
use File::Path qw(remove_tree);

my $filename = $ARGV[0];
die "Usage: $0 <archive>\n" unless $filename and -e $filename;

open my $fp, "<:bytes", $filename;
read $fp, my $magic, 4;
close $fp;
$magic = unpack 'H8', $magic;

my $dir = tempdir() or die "Unable to create temporary directory\n";

my %signatures = (
        "504b0304" => "unzip \'$filename\' -d $dir",
        "52617221" => "unrar x \'$filename\' $dir",
        "377abcaf" => "7z x \'$filename\' -o$dir", # untested
);

eval {
        my $command = $signatures{$magic} or die "Unknown archive signature $magic\n";
        system("$command > /dev/null"); die "Error $? running $command\n" if $?;
}; remove_tree($dir) and die $@ if $@;
print "$dir\n";

I use it to read manga, together with this shell script and my image viewer (meh):

#!/bin/sh
tmpfolder=$(tmpx "$1")
if [ ! $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "error running tmpx on $1"
        exit 1
fi
find "$tmpfolder" -type f | sort -g | meh -list
rm -rf "$tmpfolder"
