Find and delete all archives like file.ext.nco only if file.ext exists

Single file archives nested in subdirectories. After extracting them, you'll have the file (e.g. file.ext) and the archive (e.g. file.ext.nco) side by side. Sometimes you'll only have the archive (if you didn't extract them, or if there was an error during extraction). Only delete the archive if the single file is present in the same directory.

Check (partial) runtime-dependencies of Gentoo ebuilds

The output is only partial because runtime dependencies should count in also commands executed via system() and libraries loaded with dlopen(), but at least it gives an idea of what a package directly links to. Note: this is meaningful *only* if you're using -Wl,--as-needed in your LDFLAGS, otherwise it'll bring you a bunch of false positives.

Geolocate a given IP address

Defines a function to geolocate a given IP address; if none supplied, will default to your external IP address.

SoX recording audio and trimming silence

Records audio from your mic in FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format, starts only after it detects at least 0.1 seconds of noise and stops after 1 second of silence. You can adjust the percent values (sensitivity) to best fit your microphone and voice (0.1% if you have a great quality mic, higher if you don't, 0% does not trim anything). Useful for speech recognition in conjunction with my previous command titled 'Google voice recognition "API"' (http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8043/google-voice-recognition-api).

Binary search/replace

Replaces A with B in binary file "orig" and saves the result to "new". You must have the hex representations of A & B. Try od: echo -e "A\c" | od -An -x
