A password storage app and generator I first wrote 15 years ago, then re-wrote 10 years ago.
Various Greasemonkey scripts (not sure if they count) to bypass paywalls on various sites.
So forwarding invoices to my accountant is as easy as throwing a special label onto the email and boom, done.
Was totally worth automating, been using it for like two years now.
A UI over ffmpeg to look into downloaded movies and add/remove/rename/change default tracks without recompressing (or re compressing certain tracks only). And to autorename files with imdb titles and ids. And another one to collect timestamp from videos to edit out segments. Or to merge videos, auto finding the best size, fps, etc.
Own mp3 player with ability to exclude songs, import files from different sources and sync playlists with itunes on windows through COM. (Had so many bad experiences with itunes that I don’t trust it as my reference for song data, ratings and playlists and only use it to sync iphones).
Various tools to edit and manipulate gpx (fix time zones mostly and apply gps to photos) or srt files.
All sort of web scrapers.
A nimbletext-like on which you can drop files
A home website that contains the downloadable imdb data to manage my movie library and suggest movies I don’t own already.
Music sorter to try new songs with fast keyboard shortcuts to fast forward/flag/discard. Same for photos.
Lots of CLI tools: CLI for my domain names (for instance to maintain a dyndns-like subdomain). My own ACME client for wildcard certs that also updates various softwares with the new certificate (IIS, mail server, will look into synology soon). Tool for wake-on-lan my devices. A tool to auto-update the other tools based on a central repository. Various commands to put in a powershell script to send notifications, update my own "dead man snitch" website. Watch new real estate transactions in my neighbourhood on land registry (UK).

Also, more recently. I created a simple command line program to print a password.
I.e. you enter b003q3gqbba-
and it prints it like:
1: b
2: 0
3: 0
4: 3
5: q
6: 3
7: g
8 q
9: b
10: b
11: a
12: -
What's the reason? The stupid, insecure password masking that some banks use.
Hundreds! Doesn't everyone? Most of them are just bash scripts, many of which have now reached a complexity so high that I wish I'd started writing them in a different language but it's too late now. The majority of the rest are Python. Off the top of my head, the most used ones are: * A replacement front-end for "tar" and various compressors * A script to synchronize my music library to a compressed version for play…
Could you elaborate on this? I feel like this is something that could save people hours of time. I'm so incredibly sick of the various decompression flags and tools, (de)compressing something on the commandline should be as easy as it is with a GUI.

> A secure-but-readable password generator I love pronounceable passwords, but there's research indicating that such generators typically produce lower than expected entropy. Do you mind sharing what algorithm you use?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
On which OS? There it is piped, but I can't make it display a "%" any way (why would it?). I'm on Linux, using head from GNU coreutils.
Arch Linux. When using Zsh the last char is always a '%'. When using Bash it does no show a '%' but there's no line break. Possibly an weird interaction with my $PS1.
