Dynamically restrict application privileges similarly to Shelter on Android (specifically it's capability to "Freeze" apps when not in use)?
On Android, there’s an excellent tool called Shelter. One of it’s features is to “Freeze” an app. This essentially makes it completely dormant and inactive until you unfreeze it. No background processes, network activity, etc....

Extracted archive timestamp
There is a very annoying problem with archive extraction on Linux. I always sort my files by “last modified” and want my latest files and folders on top in any file manager. When I download and extract an archive, the extracted folder is placed toward the middle or bottom of the list apparently because the original...
Is anyone using VMware under a Wayland host?

The guest gets most keys correctly but Alt and Super are intercepted by the host. Clicking on the vm also gives me a remote desktop popup on the host prompting to...

A Bash script to rip music off CUE/BIN files (lemmy.ml)
I thought I’d take the opportunity to share a Bash script I made to automate ripping music off CUE/BIN files. It splits BINs into separate files, so it’s 1 file per track, and strips pregap data, encodes audio tracks to FLAC or Ogg Vorbis, and it also generates new CUE sheets....

Auto kill memory leaking processes before swap death loop
I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system...
