Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
Also became a fun learning experience about terminals.

I wanted to use GMail from a fast cli that used the native gmail API.
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/rslurp
I wanted to download concurrently and according to patterns. Ok, so honestly this one probably exists somewhere in a form that I would like, but I couldn't find it.
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/sim
I wanted multi-party authorization for sudo, and couldn't find one.
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/monotonic_clock
People kept using gettimeofday, so this is part of my compaign against it. (see https://blog.habets.se/2010/09/gettimeofday-should-never-be-...)
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/gtping
I worked in mobile core networks, and wanted a "ping" that used the GTP protocol since that won't be firewalled.
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/ind
I wanted my bash scripts to have automatic indentation, while not sacrificing buffering latency and such.
https://github.com/ThomasHabets/tlscheck
I wanted a simple tool to audit my TLS certificates for expiry.

I was travelling to China on vacation and wanted a VPN out that would be unlikely to be blocked by the great firewall. Ok, so there are many VPN-like tools for getting through the GFW. Maybe it was just an excuse for me to write it. Honestly ssh -D would have likely worked just fine. It's being used by the keymaster project now though, so maybe it did something right: https://github.com/Cloud-Foundations/keymaster/blob/master/d...

I wanted to lock down SSH to anyone who doesn't have a secret key (and portknocking is usually ridiculous). Why not use TCP MD5 for it? https://github.com/google/tcpauth
