What's the fastest way to open a file in Linux?
I wanted the same experience (press hotkey, type part of the name of the file, press enter) and wrote this small program that does exactly that (plus handles websites, shell commands, and is very customizable). By default it uses dmenu but you can make it use rofi or anything else. There's actually a whole bunch of similar programs, such as dmenu-extended which probably is the most famous.

How does virtualenv work for system-wide scripts/modules?
which are then used as system-wide applications. For example this one here.

Rofi file selector
I'll have to have a look at how this differs, but I recently came across dmenu_extended, which had a lot of features, but which I found to be a slight pain to set up.

Fcron Is the Best Cron
I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So I wrote a tool with a config that looks kinda like a crontab, but uses systemd (or launchd on mac) behind the scenes: https://github.com/karlicoss/dron#what-does-it-do
E.g. a simplest job definition looks like this
job(every(mins=10), 'ping https://beepb00p.xyz', unit_name='ping-beepb00p') - Systemd.timer, an Alternative to Cron
What are some alternatives?
