mitmproxy is an SSL-capable man-in-the-middle HTTP proxy. It provides a console interface that allows traffic flows to be inspected and edited on the fly. mitmdump is the command-line version of mitmproxy, with the same functionality but without the frills. Think tcpdump for HTTP.
Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes.
I can’t believe I haven’t posted about privoxy before: I’ve used it for years to block ads (among other things) for all the computers and devices on my network at home, and on my netbook when out and about. It’s stable, reliable, and whitelisting sites with decent, unobtrusive adverts is easily done.
scmpc is a client for MPD which submits your tracks to Last.fm.
It runs as a daemon, and seems to be more stable/reliable than rival mpdscribble.
The yes utility repeatedly outputs y
Or any term of your choosing. Comes in handy when scripting CLI apps that ask you questions.
FAPG means Fast Audio Playlist Generator. It is a tool to generate list of audio files (Wav, MP3, Ogg, etc) in various formats (M3U, PLS, HTML, etc). It is very usefull if you have a large amount of audio files and you want to quickly and frequently build a playlist. It is coded in C to be as fast as possible, and does not use any specific audio library (like ID3Lib).
mg is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for people who can’t (or don’t want to) run emacs for one reason or another, or are not familiar with the vi(1) editor. It is compatible with emacs because there shouldn’t be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi(1).
Found after running the aforementioned w on my devio.us OpenBSD shell account (mg ships with OpenBSD, but is available for Linux, OS X and Windows too).
stderred hooks on write() function from libc in order to colorize all stderr output that goes to terminal thus making it distinguishable from stdout. Basically it wraps text that goes to file with descriptor “2” with proper escape codes making text red.
Glances is a CLI curses based monitoring tools for both GNU/Linux and BSD.
LFTP is sophisticated ftp/http client, file transfer program supporting a number of network protocols. Like BASH, it has job control and uses readline library for input. It has bookmarks, built-in mirror, can transfer several files in parallel. It was designed with reliability in mind.
Subtitle Editor is a GTK+2 tool to edit subtitles for GNU/Linux/*BSD. It can be used for new subtitles or as a tool to transform, edit, correct and refine existing subtitle. This program also shows sound waves, which makes it easier to synchronise subtitles to voices.
A great overview.
I’ve been drifting in a BSDwards direction for a while now—Arch Linux is decidedly BSD-like in its init system and ABS, I have an OpenBSD shell account with devio.us—without actually taking the plunge.
