Tiny wrappers for some commands
A wrapper around update-rc.d(8) and service(8) to feel similar to systemctl and dispatch actions to multiple services, useful if you just came from regular debian or another GNU+systemd distro and got too much muscle memory of systemctl
A wrapper for gallery-dl to automatically get the cookies from the default web browser and running keyring, useful if you do not run a full fledged desktop environment, able to use the binary installed by either apt or pip/pipx.
A wrapper for yt-dlp to automatically get the cookies from the default web browser and running keyring, useful if you do not run a full fledged desktop environment, able to use the binary installed by either apt or pip/pipx.
A wrapper for using rofi as a SUDO_ASKPASS provider, just copy to somewhere in your path, ideally in
/usr/local/bin and set the SUDO_ASKPASS var, if you want to keep in with debian convention and
have something in the expected location then link the script to /usr/bin/ssh-askpass and just set
SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass in your profile.
Configuration is a regular rofi config.rasi file located at:
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/rofi-askpass/config.rasi
A shallow wrapper for a totp authentication program, a .desktop file authenticator.desktop is
provided, the desktop file launchs specifically this script, the script itself is very agnostic to
the actual totp program as it can work with either a GUI or TUI program, even custom scripts, altho
it is geared towards working with the provided cotp-wrap script.
Configuration is a key val file located at:
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/totp-authenticator/configrc
A utility wrapping over zbarimg (from zbar-tools) and a text typing tool (xdotool in x11 wtype in wayland), you give it an image containing a qr code as argument, it decodes the qr code, waits some seconds (configurable amount) for you to focus on the desired window and then starts typing the decoded text. Configuration located at: "${XDG_config_file_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/type-decoded-qr/configrc"
A wrapper for cotp. The cotp program is great for a TUI totp authenticator, but it has some annoying well not features but rather quirks of configuration and usability which may make it annoying to use the more irking which this wrapper addresses is the need to type in a password every time you open the program to get a One Time Password, fortunately cotp has the option to take a password from stdin, which means we can leverage the secret storage keyring (like gnome keyring) and secret-tool, you need secret-tool and a running secrets storage service running (kwallet, gnome-keyring). Configuration located at: "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/cotp-wrap/configrc"
To setup your password first run:
secret-tool store --label="authenticator password" application authenticatorenter your desired password, run cotp for the first time and enter your chosen password again, even if you run cotp-wrap it will require the password.
To actually add an OTP code there are many ways but the one that has worked for me has been to use OTP QR codes, say like the ones you get from github, gitlab, microsoft, etc... altho cotp can render the QR code in the TUI it has no native way to import a QR code, my recommendation is to just leverage the type-decoded-qr utility to enter the uri in the entry dialog provided by running:
cotp add --otpuri --label "<my otp label>"replace the text in between <> with your desired label, for example gitlab for your gitlab OTP
then just run type-decoded-qr with your qr code image as input in another terminal and just focus on
the terminal with the entry dialog.
