trickle VS LibreOffice

This method could apply to other tools with the same IPv4/IPv6 behaviour, without further modification. Changing the behaviour in the utility directly would only fix it for that one utility meaning that to fix another you need to do the same work again. It is perhaps also safer than modifying such a core component as SSH: if you introduce a bug the trick can be easily disabled until fixed, if you accidentally break SSH you might cause yourself significantly more hassle.

> This sort of negates that advantage

LD_PRELOAD trickery doesn't negate the advantage of having full source access, patching SSH would also have been a perfectly valid option, but is perhaps a better tool for this particular job.

For another use of the trick see https://github.com/mariusae/trickle (the project looks stale, though that may be because it is properly done and there have been no security/other bugs to fix in recent history) which slips its own functions in the call chain to apply user controlled (rather than firewall/routing level) throughput shaping to utilities that don't offer it out of the box.

Have you tried Trickle?

Assuming you're on Linux you could use something like Trickle: https://github.com/mariusae/trickle

install trickle

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Proof: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/graphs/contributors

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
