in ~/.local/bin usually. also in my dotfiles. sometimes from my .bashrc file.

get my internal & external IP address. results are piped to lolcat because i like cute things ok

# print internal & external IPs
whatip() {
	# internal
	echo -n "internal IP: " | lolcat -p 0.7; hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'
	# external
	echo -n "external IP: " | lolcat -p 0.7; curl -4 icanhazip.com
}

used after long-running programs like watch or dig because i will easily forget about something i'm waiting on like that.

# to get quick notifs
# after long commands
notif() {
	notify-send "done!"
	paplay -q /usr/share/sounds/sound-icons/start
	spd-say -t female3 -r +25 "done!"
}

launch applications excluded from current and future VPN sessions (until window is closed).

i have this aliased to mterm and mftp, respectively, to launch a terminal or filezilla window with this script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
 
nohup mullvad-exclude "$1" > /dev/null || echo "failed to launch $1" 2>&1 &
