i really like the following tools:
lsd aka ls deluxe - a nicer ls
btop - an incredible system monitor able to show gpu usage
chafa - shows pictures in your terminal
cava - an audio visualizer
mc aka midnight commander - the swiss army knife of shells
jq - lets you edit and query json data

provided that you already having an ics or html calendar source added to nextcloud calendar:

sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/occ config:app:set dav calendarSubscriptionRefreshRate --value "PT600S"

this makes it refresh the calendar every 10 minutes. or you don't do that and wait for a week.

go to

cd ~/.local/share/applications/
touch myprog.desktop

fill the file with s.th. like

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Unison (sc)
Comment=synchronize files
Exec=/usr/local/bin/unison-gtk
Icon=unison-gtk
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;

save, now run

update-menues

after installing the citrix workspace app run

sudo ln -s /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

since unison doesn't work with different versions, just accept that you have to build this from scratch, since the next os upgrade of one of the involved clients will break protocol.

sudo apt install opam ocaml liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-ocaml

labelgtk* isn't needed for cli version only and can be skipped in the opam steps, too.

opam init
eval $(opam env)
opam switch create ocaml-base-compiler.4.05.0
eval $(opam env)
opam install lablgtk

we download the unison 2.51.2 source. unzip it somewhere and cd into it. for the gtk version you need to hack src/uigtk2.ml before and replace in line 97 from region_of_string to region_of_bytes.

make

this compiles now the gtk2 version. if cli is needed:

make text

beware that the binary has the same name. make will automatically generate cli version if lablgtk is not installed.
now copy the files to your systemfolder

sudo cp src/unison src/unison-fswatch /usr/bin/
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s unison unison-2.51

on older opam versions (1.x), like on raspbian stretch, things look a little bit different:

opam init
eval $(opam config env)
opam switch set 4.05.0
eval $(opam config env)
cd yourunisonsourcedirectory
make

precompiled versions can be found here:
unison-gtk 2.51.2-ocaml4.05.0 binary[x64]
unison 2.51.2-ocaml4.05.0 binary[x64]
unison-fsmonitor 2.51.2-ocaml4.05.0 binary[x64]
unison 2.51.2-ocaml4.05.0 binary[armhf]
unison-fsmonitor 2.51.2-ocaml4.05.0 binary[armhf]

check .pem / check .crt

openssl x509 -noout -text -in certificate.pem

check .csr

openssl req -noout -text -verify -in cert_sign_req.csr

convert p12 to pem

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -nocerts -out certificate.key
openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -clcerts -nokeys -out certificate.crt
cat certificate.crt certificate.key > certificate.pem

in case the key is still encrypted after extracting it run

openssl rsa -in certificate.key -out certificate_decrypted.key

check if key belongs to certificate

openssl x509 -modulus -noout -in server.com.crt | openssl md5
openssl rsa  -modulus -noout -in server.com.key | openssl md5

you want to log off but some job is still running in the background

go to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera and replace the libffmpeg.so with the chromium one.
since ubuntu now only ships snaps, we need to get the download location of that package.

curl -H 'Snap-Device-Series: 16' http://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/info/chromium-ffmpeg | jq

get the download url for your architecture by hand. next one is an example. then mount the package and get the libffmpeg.so from the latest chromium-folder (there are plenty)

wget https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/XXzVIXswXKHqlUATPqGCj2w2l7BxosS8_24.snap
sudo mount -t squashfs -o ro XXzVIXswXKHqlUATPqGCj2w2l7BxosS8_24.snap /mnt/
sudo cp /mnt/chromium-ffmpeg-104707/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -an out.mp4

convert every file in the current folder to an mp3 in folder ../b (if possible)
you better use echo on the first run

find . -type f -exec ffmpeg -i "{}" -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192k -f mp3 "../b/{}" \;

files in the current direcory will be renamed according to a text file. the first file will be named like the first row of the given text file and so on. beware that the text file itself will be renamed if it is in the current directory.
