... I came across something called 'Instagraph' and it sounds interesting but it has zero documentation that I can find. The download site tells you how to install it, but nothing about what it is, what it does, or how to use it. I used to be able to access Instagram with no problems using Firefox, but a week ago links to videos stopped working, that's really all I'm interested in fixing.

Ok, I realise that I risk a religious war asking a question about text editors, but here goes. # Requirements - Mostly used for config file edits - Text based not GUI - Available for Raspian flavour of Debian - No learning required for a Windows/Mac GUI user (no vi/vim) - Makes full use of keys found on modern keyboards, i.e. home, end, pgup, pgdn, del - Use keyboard shortcuts found in pretty much all GUI apps, e.g. Undo (Ctrl-Z), Redo (Shift-Ctrl-Z), Select All (Ctrl-A), Cut (Ctrl-X), Copy (Ctrl-C), Paste (Ctrl-V), Expand selection (Shift-Arrow), Skip word (Ctrl-Arrow), Delete selection (Del) etc - **Optional**: mouse support for changing cursor position and selecting text Surely this isn't a big ask in this day and age?

Does anyone know of an open source application or perhaps how to integrate an existing find dupes script with some OS tool (emacs, vim, Finder.app, mc, etc...) to open a file before marking that file for deletion? And perhaps know of open source Unix based console based tools that manage and delete duplicate files? I'm using MacOS. I'm asking here because it's Unix related and I'm hoping to leverage some dupes scripts if necessary. I created the following script to find duplicate files and create output with #rm duplicate_filen in groups such that a line can be commented out and the script invoked to delete duplicates. I'm wondering if such scripts could be used with other applications. Hoping to ask here before reinventing this. #!/usr/bin/env ksh FINDOUT=$(mktemp) ( find "${@}" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 shasum ) > $FINDOUT HASHES=$(find "${@}" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 shasum | awk '{ print $1; }' | sort | uniq -d) DUPELIST=$(mktemp) DUPES=$(mktemp) for h in $HASHES; do if grep "^$h " $FINDOUT >> $DUPES; then echo "" >> $DUPELIST cat $DUPES >> $DUPELIST fi rm $DUPES done RMSCRIPT=$(mktemp) cat $DUPELIST | cut -d " " -f 2- > $RMSCRIPT echo "#!/usr/bin/env ksh" echo "# Duplicate files, remove comments and invoke script" while read -r l; do if [ "$l" != "" ]; then echo "#rm \"$l\"" else echo $l fi done < $RMSCRIPT rm $FINDOUT $RMSCRIPT $DUPELIST

I’m seeking practical recommendations and tools to improve the security of my Linux server (CentOS) and minimize unauthorized access. I’m interested in both fundamental and advanced solutions that can be easily integrated and configured. Specifically, I need: * Protection Against Unauthorized Access: What tools and practices are most effective for preventing hacking and intrusion into the server? This includes authentication methods (e.g., two-factor authentication) and tools for monitoring activity and detecting suspicious behavior. What I’ve Tried: I experimented with SELinux, but when attempting to set the strictest security level (“military level”), the server failed to boot after rebooting. I likely made a configuration error. I would appreciate detailed guidance on correctly configuring SELinux, or alternative approaches to kernel-level security hardening. What Kind of Answers I’m Looking For: * Recommendations for specific tools, including open-source alternatives. * Detailed instructions on how to configure and use these tools. * Example configurations for different security levels (from basic to advanced). * Alternatives to SELinux for kernel-level security enhancement.

Is there a simple open-source, command-line program that can show the sunrise and sunset times at a given date and location, and perhaps moon and planet data as well? Browsing the Debian package database and Google searches, I can't find anything relevant. This surprises me — considering the number of people who are both astronomy geeks and unix geeks, I'd have expected a de-facto-standard sunrise(1) (or perhaps sunrise(6)). I am not interested in more complex programs that incidentally perform the calculations, such as sky maps (celestia, kstars, starplot, stellarium), earth maps (sunclock, xplanet), calendars/agendas (emacs, remind), clocks (glunarclock, wmsun), tide almanachs (xtide). There is perhaps aa ([astronomical-almanac](http://www.moshier.net/)) , but I don't see a simple way of asking it what time the sun will rise on this date at these longitude and latitude. What did I miss?

It's been a while since my web-browsing has really suited me. What I would really like is: A javascript-enabled web browser with a tab-based browsing system that can be controlled simultaneously using a console and a GUI. For example, I'd like to be able to... 1) open a bunch of tabs 2) go to the console and tell it something like 'copy the url open in each tab and write it, along with the html, to a file, for each open tab' in other words, I want to be able to browse with tabs at my leisure, and then write scripts that iterate over each tab. Does anything like that exist?

I want to provide information to users. For example, it would be helpful to provide curated lists of recommended programs tailored to users’ needs-such as a Disk Usage Analyzer for those managing storage space. This way, users can easily discover useful tools relevant to their tasks, rather than having to search for them on their own. I could do it through bash commands in the command line. Are there some useful tools to show coloured output and information in the command line? Perhaps using info? For instance I can run the command info ls Could do something similar.

I work with CSV files and sometimes need to quickly check the contents of a row or column from the command line. In many cases cut, head, tail, and friends will do the job; however, cut cannot easily deal with situations such as "this, is the first entry", this is the second, 34.5 Here, the first comma is part of the first field, but cut -d, -f1 disagrees. Before I write a solution myself, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tool that already exists for this job. It would have to, at the very least, be able to handle the example above and return a column from a CSV formatted file. Other desirable features include the ability to select columns based on the column names given in the first row, support for other quoting styles and support for tab-separated files. If you don't know of such a tool but have suggestions regarding implementing such a program in Bash, Perl, or Python, or other common scripting languages, I wouldn't mind such suggestions.

Basically, what I'm looking for is Samba - except that I want it to be WebDAV in the front. The requirements are that the users can log in to the WebDAV dir with their system account, and files will have their user and group set accordingly. I know there's sambadav, but frustratingly, it seems to not be possible to get write functionality with it under FreeBSD.

Are there any (good) *terminal based* (ie. runs in a VT, not in GUI/X) spreadsheets or wordprocessors for Unix/Linux? Can anybody remember the name of such programs which were popular before (eg. before X became so widespread)? I know the "correct" way of doing wordprocessing in Unix is using a markup-language like LaTeX or GROFF together with a simple editor like vi or emacs... But what I'm wondering about, is if there is - or was (anybody remember an older program that did this?) - something like the old MS-DOS (pre-Windows) WordPerfect-like program for Unix? Where you didn't have true WYSIWYG, but where things like emphesize and underline was marked in the text with colors, reverse video and such. Programs that are more "front ends" for LaTeX or some XML-format to create wordprocess-documents are also of interest, provided they use the terminal and use colors and such to mark things like emphesized text (rather than you see the latex format-code). Eg. you press CTRL-I, the text you write turns reverse video, and is written to file inbetween format-codes for emphesize.

Looking for a private journal app that is customizable in font size and style and similar functions to Libra writer. Why you ask? *I am a Tinkerer, and a Philosopher of sorts, and am looking for that **"just right"** packaged app that meets these primary specs:* Encrypted, Secure, in Ubuntu or Debian, and similarly customizable to Libra Writer as far as fonts and text size and shapes goes, and also contains a simplistic toolbar for object creation with various geometric shapes and sized objects for point & click ease. Also a simple header or title block creator to start each new thought or idea would be fantastic! Also, I am somewhat new to Linux & Unix, and any terminal command line syntax to simplify installation or functionality and ways to encrypt is greatly appreciated! Thank you kindly as well, Rudy

I am looking for a Alsa mixer GUI for Xfce (or better yet, desktop-independent) to replace PulseAudio Mixer. While I'm happy with the latter, my USB DAC is very poorly handled by PulseAudio and I need to remove it. In the Alsa-based mixer I am looking specifically for the ability to: * detect plugged-in USB DACs * set default playback device for new programs (e.g. to USB DAC) * (optional) transparently change running programs currently outputting sound from one playback device to another (e.g. from integrated HDA PCH to USB DAC) So is there a pavucontrol-like Alsa mixer out there?

I want to check the details such as sample rate and bit depth of a sound file. The things that on a Windows system are shown as "properties". I could also see this information in the player Windows used to play the file. In Linux Mint, I can do neither of these. How can I check these details without typing stuff into the terminal? I am running Linux Mint and it seems the default player is Celluloid. Edit: I installed VLC and it has this info in: Tools->Codec Information

Is it possible to install the Ubuntu Software Applications, such as LibreOffice and others in Qubes OS? Thanks.

I recently took the leap to Pop OS, but I am struggling to find a Sidebar & Clock / calendar similar to my Windows set-up, see pic attached. Would really appreciate it if anyone has a similar set up. I'm a currency trader and use the clock frequently, especially the second hand.

I am looking for a (free) VoIP Software that can do some special. I will run this Software at my Linux Computer. The Programm should use my VoIP Account/Number that i become from my ISP. If someone (me) call this number, the Programm give me at my CellPhone after 10 times ring a Menu. In that Menu is Key 1 for run script 1.sh, 2 for run script 2.sh .... Are there any Software that can do this?

I'd like to use the redshift to change the screen color temperature. Now it looks like redshift requires me to install geoclue . But I don't want to have that package installed. And in addition, I'd like to specify the times for my screen color to be changed manually. Either by setting my position manually or by simply specifying the time it should start and end dimming. Is there a way to change my screen color temperature like that with some other tool or with some trick maybe? I'm also interested in *why* that isn't possible with redshift even though it shouldn't matter whether it gets the data from geoclue position data or by some data entered manually. I'm using Debian 9 with KDE.

Is there a flavor of Linux designed for building neural networks and layering statistical packages for training transformers? I'm looking for an open-source OS version with PyTorch, Keras, or TensorFlow, where statistical tools and their explanations are available in a GUI.

The short version of the question: I am looking for a speech recognition software that runs on Linux and has decent accuracy and usability. Any license and price is fine. It should not be restricted to voice commands, as I want to be able to dictate text. ---------- More details: I have unsatisfyingly tried the following: - [CMU Sphinx](http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/) - [CVoiceControl](http://www.kiecza.net/daniel/linux/) - [Ears](http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/comp.speech/Section6/Recognition/ears.html) - [Julius](http://julius.osdn.jp/) - [Kaldi](http://kaldi.sourceforge.net/) (e.g., [Kaldi GStreamer server](https://github.com/alumae/kaldi-gstreamer-server)) - [IBM ViaVoice](https://web.archive.org/web/19990508201353/http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/990426/ny_ibm_1.html) (used to run on Linux but was discontinued years ago) - [NICO ANN Toolkit](http://nico.nikkostrom.com/) - [OpenMindSpeech](http://freespeech.sourceforge.net/) - [RWTH ASR](http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/rwth-asr/) - [shout](http://shout-toolkit.sourceforge.net/) - [silvius](http://voxhub.io/silvius) (built on the Kaldi speech recognition toolkit) - [Simon Listens](http://simon-listens.org/index.php?id=122) - [ViaVoice / Xvoice](http://xvoice.sourceforge.net/) - [Wine + Dragon NaturallySpeaking](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2077) + [NatLink](https://sourceforge.net/projects/natlink/) + [dragonfly](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dragonfly) + [damselfly](https://github.com/TristenHayfield/damselfly) - https://github.com/DragonComputer/Dragonfire : only accepts voice commands All the above-mentioned native Linux solutions have both poor accuracy and usability (or some don't allow free-text dictation but only voice commands). By poor accuracy, I mean an accuracy significantly below the one the speech recognition software I mentioned below for other platforms have. As for Wine + Dragon NaturallySpeaking, in my experience it keeps crashing, and I don't seem to be the only one to have [such issues]((https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2077)) unfortunately. On Microsoft Windows I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, on Apple Mac OS X I use Apple Dictation and DragonDictate, on Android I use Google speech recognition, and on iOS I use the built-in Apple speech recognition. Baidu Research released [yesterday](http://slashdot.org/story/16/01/17/1318228/baidu-releases-open-source-artificial-intelligence-code) the [code](https://github.com/baidu-research/warp-ctc) for its speech recognition library using [Connectionist Temporal Classification](http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~graves/icml_2006.pdf) implemented with Torch. Benchmarks from [Gigaom](https://gigaom.com/2014/12/18/baidu-claims-deep-learning-breakthrough-with-deep-speech/) are encouraging as shown in the table below, but I am not aware of any good wrapper around to make it usable without quite some coding (and a large training data set): >|System |Clean (94) |Noisy (82) |Combined (176) >|:---------------|:----------:|:----------:|:------------: >|Apple Dictation | 14.24 | 43.76 | 26.73 >|Bing Speech | 11.73 | 36.12 | 22.05 >|Google API | 6.64 | 30.47 | 16.72 >|wit.ai | 7.94 | 35.06 | 19.41 >|**Deep Speech** | **6.56** |**19.06** |**11.85** > >Table 4: Results (%WER) for 3 systems evaluated on the original audio. All systems are scored _only_ on the utterances with predictions given by all systems. The number in the parentheses next to each dataset, e.g. Clean (94), is the number of utterances scored. There exist some very alpha open-source projects: - https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech (part of Mozilla's Vaani project: http://vaani.io ([mirror](https://web.archive.org/web/20170424002550/http://vaani.io/info.html))) - https://github.com/pannous/tensorflow-speech-recognition - Vox, a system to control a Linux system using Dragon NaturallySpeaking: https://github.com/Franck-Dernoncourt/vox_linux + https://github.com/Franck-Dernoncourt/vox_windows - https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter - https://github.com/espnet/espnet - http://github.com/tensorflow/lingvo (to be released by Google, mentioned at Interspeech 2018) I am also aware of this [attempt at tracking states of the arts and recent results (bibliography) on speech recognition.](https://github.com/syhw/wer_are_we) as well as this [benchmark of existing speech recognition APIs](https://github.com/Franck-Dernoncourt/ASR_benchmark) . ---- I am aware of [Aenea](https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/aenea) , which allows speech recognition via Dragonfly on one computer to send events to another, but it has some latency cost: I am also aware of these two talks exploring Linux option for speech recognition: - [2016 - The Eleventh HOPE: Coding by Voice with Open Source Speech Recognition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRyYIIFKsdU) (David Williams-King) - [2014 - Pycon: Using Python to Code by Voice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI) (Tavis Rudd)

I need an FOSS pdf viewer library that can display the pdf file provided by its caller process in a seperate window and send back data like what page(s) the viewer is currently viewing, the visible page's x and y coordinates, etc. (basically the caller process wants to know how the user is interacting with the pdf file). I want to build my project currently focusing Linux and Unix (if your library is cross-platform, that fine, please refer it to me). I'm still learning about linux, so I do not exactly know the various ways a process can share info to another process. I'm fine with any form of info sharing. I thought Poppler cpp is the library I'm looking for, but Poppler cpp can only produce the images of a page and do not actually display the current pdf as a regular pdf viewer. Right now, I'm thinking of using poppler to save a page as a page.jpeg and display it using image viewer applications like "eye of gnome (eog)", "loupe", etc, and if user wants to view next page, I will save the next page with same name (page.jpeg), which will cause the image viewer to display this new image immediately, thus emulating a pdf viewer experience. I feel that this is a raw techinque because of so many cpu usage and disk writes (to fix this, I'm thinking of using temporary files that only exists on memory, not written on disk), and the user will not like this experience. If this goal can be achieved in much simpler way, I would like to hear such ideas as well.
