webp to png

do you hate it when you download a pic and its in WEBP format and then you cant open it locally from finder / explorer?

this bash script can be cron scheduled to run in a given folder and automatically converts all WEBPs into PNGs in place and puts them into a pngs_out/ folder too.

diceware string fixer thing

having a CLI diceware on hand is stupidly useful for a variety of things. tbh, I end up using it multiple times a week.

Ive used it to generate big random word lists for Lorem Ipsum type stuff, coming up with random cool name for a service, assorted generative text / ML, and ofc coming up with passwords and secrets.

Using diceware from a CPU isn't recommended for high-security usecases, but IMO its fine to do for like, making new accounts on sites where it doesnt matter so much.

shouout to @yuvallanger OG author of the diceware rust crate.

why?

The rust crate i use for CLI diceware prints words with spaces between, but i want a between_char like_these_are_some_words in whatever casing you like.

Coulda forked and updated the diceware crate itself, still might. Wanted to make sure the script had no non-standard-lib deps, so only using stuff included with python3.

maybe will make it a proper bash script to handle args better. for now just quick and dirty

howto:

• get cli diceware from diceware
  • shoutout to rustlang diceware author @yuvallanger
• make bash alias that pipes diceware into python3 diceware_string_fixer.py
• can include a between_char as first param to change whats between the words.
• source .bashrc
• enjoy $ diceware_ ;)

alias

alias diceware_="diceware | python3 /path/to/wherever/you/put/localhome/diceware_string_fixer.py '_'"

examples:

$ diceware | python3 diceware_string_fixer.py 
no sys.argv[1] for between_char so using default _
_ 1 2
---
input: caddie patination refracted superstition laconic stooge padlocks licensees 
 
between_char: _ 
---
caddie_patination_refracted_superstition_laconic_stooge_padlocks_licensees
--- :) ---

$ diceware | python3 diceware_string_fixer.py "_"
got sys.argv[1] = _
_ 1 2
---
input: diffidently disturbed textual bracket dynamics hugeness unknowns works 
 
between_char: _ 
---
diffidently_disturbed_textual_bracket_dynamics_hugeness_unknowns_works
--- ;) ---

wacky mode

$ shrug
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

$ diceware | python3 diceware_string_fixer.py "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
got sys.argv[1] = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 9 10

input: deflation iteratively backups dustmen centrifuged gullibility answered percentage
