manage a singleton firefox instance in e.g. a container with wayland support. this wrapper ensures that opening new URLs via the terminal or `xdg-open` correctly communicates with the existing firefox process instead of failing with the "Firefox is already running" error. It uses `dpkg-divert` to remain persistent across package updates and ensu…

This removes the no-subscription reminder in Proxmox VE/BS, adapted from the helper-script. I ended up not needing it, so I'm dumping it here.

iwconfig / paste-to-file.py
Created April 18, 2025 20:56
A simple utility for quickly scaffolding files without having to manually create directory structures or files beforehand. It lets you paste text where the very first line (a # comment) specifies the file path. It then writes the rest of the text into that file, automatically creating any necessary directories.
import os
def main():
print("Paste your text (end with an EOF signal: Ctrl-D on Unix/Mac, Ctrl-Z then Enter on Windows):")
try:
# Read multiline text from standard input until EOF
input_text = []
while True:
line = input()
input_text.append(line)
