Hey,
It seems that Void team is releasing a new advent calendar, tech oriented :slight_smile:

So, day1 is a small C compiler to make C source code usable as a script would. Not sure that’s really useful, but why not ?

sshfs, to mount remote file system as if they were local. I don’t know if they are any alternatives, but it seems kinda cool.

ncdu, that makes a tree displaying information of space occupied by your files. I’ve just installed it, works like a charm !

I just set up the sshfs; works great.

Timely article, I’ve been meaning to set up ssh, if only to learn it better. Normally just use simple nfs for file sharing.

another ssh related tool -

autossh

looks pretty handy.

Interesting tool - gromit-mpx - ; available from the AUR
