Since tmux is not available by default on Piz Daint, here's a short guide on how to install and use it there (as of 2020-01-16).

Load the necessary modules:

module load daint-gpu EasyBuild-custom/cscs

Now you can build tmux using:

eb tmux-2.9.eb -r

JCGoran

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# the main command to send
comm="xfconf-query -c xfce4-notifyd -p /do-not-disturb"
# query for status
status="$(${comm})"
# if 'Do not disturb' is off, we send a notification, and then turn it on
if [ "${status}" = "false" ]
then
    notify-send 'NOTICE' 'Notifications have been disabled!'

This is a small shell script which can be used to backup edited Joplin resources, since this is, as of time of writing, still an open issue. Should work on any GNU/Linux or MacOS machine since it just uses POSIX utils.

Note that you should manually set the env variables JOPLIN_CURRENT_DIR (where Joplin currently saves everything) and JOPLIN_BACKUP_DIR (where the backup directory is); usually the former is ${HOME}/.config/joplin-desktop (the default value), and the latter is determined by the user (default value is ${HOME}/.joplin-backup).

Usage:

sh editable-resources.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# a POSIX-compatible shell script that builds cadmus the easy way

# requirements:
# - git
# - python3 (with pip and venv)
# - make
# - cmake
# - a C++ compiler (g++ will do)

Simple Perl scripts which use regex search and replace to in-place convert Latex markdown files (which use $[MATH]$ and $$[MATH]$$) to Gitlab markdown (which uses $`[MATH]`$ and ```math [MATH]``` and vice versa.

One caveat: the $$[MATH]$$ style should have the math environment delimiters on separate newlines, so this works:

$$
[MATH]
$$

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# simple script for checking that a LaTeX project builds after a commit
# USAGE: save this as `.git/hooks/post-commit` in your project, and make it executable using `chmod +x .git/hooks/post-commit`.
# The script will then run after each `git commit` to the repository.
# NOTE: to turn off the check, run `git commit --no-verify` instead.
# REQUIREMENTS: git, latexmk, notify-send (optional)
