Toggle Caps Lock light on macOS Catalina from a shell scripts/terminal

	#!/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript
	# Usage: capstoggle.sh [1 or 0, defaulting to 0]
	# Pass in "1" to turn caps lock on. By default it turns caps lock off (0)
	#
	# Make this an executable shell script by running `chmod +x capstoggle.sh`
	# Then `./capstoggle.sh 1` to turn caps lock on, and hence toggle the caps lock keyboard light!
	# You can make your caps lock light flash 5 times by running this
	# for i in {0..5}; do ./capstoggle.sh 1; ./capstoggle.sh 0; done

	# The number can be anywhere in the arguments, but there shouldn't

Make all Dropbox shared links directl links. Watch for all links with ?dl=0 and change that to ?raw=1

	####### Dropbox link fixers for macOS ########
	# This daemon converts all Dropbox shared links in the clipboard to direct links. The url provide the raw files instead of all the Dropbox bloat/previews.
	# To run, just do
	# $ python3 ./dropbox-url-swap.py
	#
	# (requires python3.6+ with f-string support)
	# To fix the Dropbox links it usually just changes the "dl=0" query arg into the rather obscure "raw=1" option.
	# Though for certain type it provides an even more direct link that isn't delayed by an instant redirect.
	#
	# To provide this we have to poll the clipboard to monitor for changes, but by using the Darwin NSPasteboard

Unofficial Hombrew Cask for Audacity 2.3.2 (recent 64-bit version). Get around Fosshub's limitations

	# Unofficial Hombrew Cask for Audacity 2.3.2 (recent 64-bit version)
	# Made entirely for fun and to demonstrate how to get around fosshub's limitations.

	# Problem: Audacity's binary is hosted on fosshub and they don't provide a fixed url! The seems to intentionally try to prevent "hot-linking".
	# Solution: Make a request to fosshub's special XHR endpoint to get the signed download url. Then just pass that URL to Homebrew

	require 'net/http'
	require 'json'
	require 'uri'
