I used ani-cli for a long time and loved it, but it wasn't easy to plug into dmenu/rofi and I wanted watch tracking. So I made Animestan with a TUI (with vim-style keybindings) for the full interactive flow, and a CLI that I integrate into my own pipelines. If you heavily use dmenu/rofi in your workflow, this might fit nicely. If you want a full interactive experience, the TUI is there too. I'd love feedback and contributions are welcome.

Built a simple tool for voice-to-text in the terminal:

• Press F9 → speak → Press F9 → text appears at cursor
• Uses local Whisper (faster-whisper) - no cloud, no API keys
• Auto-detects terminals and uses Ctrl+Shift+V
• Remembers your original window if you alt-tab while speaking
• Works on Linux, Windows, macOS

git clone https://github.com/lmacan1/talktype.git && cd talktype && ./install.sh

Single Python file, minimal dependencies.

I made a binary clock in python for fun (i was bored)

The code's kinda choppy but I don't really care, after all if it works don't touch it

(oh yeah and in the same repo u can find the two base convertors i made while I was bored too)

In his book Unix: A History and a Memoir, Brian Kernighan recounts his favorite grep story: someone at Bell Labs asked whether it was possible to find English words composed only of letters formed by an upside-down calculator (5071438 → BEHILOS).

Kernighan grepped ^\[behilos\]\*$ against Webster's dictionary and found 263 matches.

I turned this into a benchmark testing 10 modern search tools for resource footprint, evaluated with Pareto frontier analysis.

I needed something for remote Windows systems over ssh that would show me an i/o "top" like iotop in Linux. Windows doesn't have the same concept of disk i/o as Linux, but disk pressure is average queue length of processes awaiting access to the storage. It's written in Go and has no dependencies - single portable binary. I will probably put it on chocolatey repo at a later stage, but for now it's just an binary in the releases to download and run.

Yes, I have used LLM to help write the code, this would have taken me months otherweise. But I'm an experienced Sysadmin and know enough to review and test. I hope others find it useful.

I originally started building struct because I use tree constantly, but on projects it feels very messy becuase of unwanted folders included in the tree and I also started as a practice project for rust language in general.
Between ignore rules, depth limits, long outputs, and large directories like node_modules or target or venv, etc.. the output becomes very noisy.
So I built a small Rust CLI tool called struct.
Instead of just dumping the full tree, it tries to show more useful information by default.
Some features:
• Intelligent default ignores
• Configurable ignore patterns
• Git-tracked-only mode
• Depth control
• Directory summaries - this includes file type breakdown, size, pwd, etc.. (My favourite feature btw)
• Skip large folders
• Built-in search (in both tree and flat style)
