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.

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 Stops/removes/restarts the ones that are outdated.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
# 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).
