Scripts

lockscript

Provides a "frosted glass" look for when computer is locked

mkln

Used as a shortcut to make symlinks in /usr/local/bin

[/opt/ghidra]
$ mkln ghidraRun  # Will make a symlink at /usr/local/bin/ghidraRun

[/opt/ghidra]
$ mkln ghidraRun ghidra  # Will make a symlink at /usr/local/bin/ghidra

no-internet

Run commands without granting them internet access. Will also warn you if it detects that it actually has internet access, and refuse to run the program.

Implementation simply runs command as the no-internet group, and relies on iptables rules defined in bootstrap.sh to do the actual blocking.

$ no-internet.sh ping 8.8.8.8 -c 1
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

venv

Helper for managing python virtual environments.

Simply running venv with no arguments will read your mind and do what you want it to, since 99,999999% of the time you want to either:

1. Exit an active venv
2. Activate an existing venv
3. Create a new venv

This can be easily accomplished, since if you just check in this order then there is no risk of doing the wrong thing. Will also ask you before creating a venv and optionally installing requirements.

The script is smart enough to look upwards in the directory structure for venvs, but will only try to create a venv in your CWD. Checking for git and asking if you want to create venv at git root instead might be a thing some day.
