redshift
Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night. (by jonls)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Conversion from tm struct and String into time_t
Redshift has code to calculate that locally which I use in my sunrise light project

Does XFCE have a night light?
FWIW, Linux Mint XFCE comes with Redshift.

If you use your PC for long hours, use Eye Saver app to protect your eyes.
Other options include f.lux and redshift.

How do you build circuits?
eg for this project my available inputs were intermittent 12v power, bluetooth, and the current time and location; and the desired output was 3× high current low-side switches that produced 12v RGB PWM corresponding to the colour temperature and brightness of the sky - so we need a bluetooth microcontroller, battery backup to keep time when 12v is absent, some battery management which wanted 5v in, a 12v buck to feed it, some MOSFETs, and redshift or similar code to plug into things.

How can I use an Arduino board to control LEDs so it imitates the sunlight color temperature throughout the day?
I just added redshift as a submodule to handle the GPS location + UTC time to color temperature conversion.

what's the alternative for linux like F.lux for windows for yellow light and brightness for screen?
But I still use redshift and prefer it over f.lux. I am on cell and this is first result so double check https://github.com/jonls/redshift

Linux (Debian) equivalent of DimScreen on Windows or MonitorControl on MacOS?
Anyway, for dimming screens with overlays (or gamma alteration), Redshift seems to have a -b option.

How do you even install redshit on windows ? (screen temp program)
The instructions are super confusing to me. Here's the github :https://github.com/jonls/redshift

Why can't windows and macos adjust monitor brightness natively via dDC?
Why do they not allow doing the same for external monitors using DDC? There are several apps that do just that.

How can I turn my main monitor off? Already have a dummy plug.
Try ddccontrol on Linux or https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html on Windows.

How do I get a slider for brightness control?
ddccontrol and gddcontrol works well

Making the "xrandr --setmonitor" setting permanent
If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

every want to change your monitor settings from the command line
i have always hated having to fiddle with the buttons on the back of my monitor to change things such as the brightness but now i have finally found a better way https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol

Automatic Desktop Monitor Brightness Adjustment
Before I look into automating it, I wanted to get it working first. For this, I have a tool called ddccontrol (https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol). But this needs root privileges. So I'm just wondering if there are other ways, since I couldn't find any.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing redshift and ddccontrol you can also consider the following projects:
gammastep
ddcctl - DDC monitor controls (brightness) for Mac OSX command line
go-sct - A color temperature setting library and CLI that operates in a similar way to f.lux and Redshift. Supports Wayland, X and Windows
ddcci-driver-linux
xrandr-brightness-script - 🔆 Script for adjusting the brightness and color temperature of displays on a software level using xrandr.
ddcutil - Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
display-switch - Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM switch
LightBulb - Reduces eye strain by adjusting gamma based on the current time
twinkle-tray - Easily manage the brightness of your monitors in Windows from the system tray
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
MonitorControl - 🖥 Control your display's brightness & volume on your Mac as if it was a native Apple Display. Use Apple Keyboard keys or custom shortcuts. Shows the native macOS OSDs.
