Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
This is probably buggy and not well written, but it's faster than some other CLI image slideshow tools such as feh [citation needed], as it doesn't try to scan the whole folder tree for image files first, but it only has a directory list cache file (txt stored on $HOME, which may be a little bit slow to build for the first time, but not as much), picks one randomly, lists (ls) the image files into a cache file (txt on /dev/shm), and makes one randmoly into the wallpaper (if hsetroot is able to do...

Firefox lately hasn't been working quite properly with any other theme than Adwaita, GTK3's default. Even Debian's firefox (now firefox again), even though it's still GTK2, somehow, apparently.
The main (perhaps only) problem is that "tooltips" will be black on black, both UI tooltips and alo the "native" tooltip when you hover a link.
If one doesn't hate Adwaita more than one hates not having legible tooltips, then firefox can be run as

Sometimes I see questions related with that floating around, so here's a quick and lazy (just copying defitions from the manuals or sites of these programs) post on which hopefully someone in need of such tools will stumble as well.

"The auto nice daemon activates itself in certain intervals and renices jobs according to their priority and CPU usage. Jobs owned by root are left alone. Jobs are...
