Curation Note: I was looking for a easy to use Markdown viewer. After checking out some resources I came up with Okular. In the past I have connected Okular to PDF files and nothing else. But it is also nice for viewing md files.

Curation Note: Today, I had to read metadata from LoRA files once again. The tool I developed that is best suited for this task is my Fortran90 Metadata & Tensor Reader. It worked like a charm.

Curation Note: With Gradio one can create in a short period of time good looking web interfaces. I wrote an image viewer for use as preview image here in a rush.

Curation Note: In the past, I used Scilab a lot alongside other tools. With my switch to SageMath, Scilab has taken a back seat somewhat. But I haven't lost sight of it.

Curation Note: htop is a must have on each Linux system. One can see the system resources and one can interact with them. If not installed it should be. It is helpful to see, what is going on. E.g. it shows also Zombie processes. If one can kill them is another question.

Curation Note: For as long as I can remember, I have been using the text editor gedit. This is correct when I am talking about a text editor with its own GUI.

Curation Note: For various reasons, a hex editor should always be installed on a computer. As the name says content is shown by use of hex numbers. The preview image clearly shows the reason for this. For example, image files contain so-called magic numbers that can be used to identify the format of the file or im...
