zydezu / changelogs

Last active September 9, 2026 23:00

Download and summarise changelogs for Arch/AUR packages, with an option to update afterwards. Probably won't work and requires too many things. Place this in '~/.local/bin' if desired.

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	# Show upstream changelogs/release notes for pending pacman + AUR + Flatpak updates
	#
	# Requires: bash 4+, pacman, pacman-contrib (checkupdates), an AUR helper supporting `-Qua` (yay by default - export AUR_HELPER=paru to swap),
	# jq, curl, ncurses (tput), plus awk/sed/grep/seq/wc/tr/head
	#
	# Optional: flatpak, arch-update (only for the post-run prompt), GITHUB_TOKEN to raise the GitHub API rate limit (60/hr -> 5000/hr)
	#
	# Usage: changelogs

zydezu / scratch_archive_dl.py

Download a Scratch project.json and package it into an sb3 from a Wayback Machine link

	"""
	fetch_scratch_json.py - download a Scratch project.json and package it into an sb3 from a Wayback Machine link.

	a .sb3 is just a zip of project.json + every asset (costumes/sounds), each named
	by its md5+ext. the wayback machine archives the page, not the bundle, so we
	have to grab project.json from the archived projects.scratch.mit.edu capture and
	then pull each asset (those are content-addressed, so the live CDN usually still
	has old ones), then zip it all back together.

	usage:
