Linux and sysadmin tools

Interactive tools for Linux operations, sysadmin debugging, SSH, rsync, Nginx, systemd scheduling, and adjacent hardware-fit questions.

This cluster is for practical infrastructure work: SSH jumps, rsync rules, Nginx matching, systemd timers, and hardware planning that usually sends people into man pages.

Tools in this cluster

8 tools currently grouped here.

Email obfuscation playground

Compare email obfuscation methods for websites, generate copyable HTML or JavaScript snippets, and weigh human usability against basic scraper resistance.

LLM VRAM and context calculator

Estimate LLM VRAM needs from parameter count, quantization, KV-cache precision, context length, concurrency, GPU count, and partial offload, with architecture-aware fit checks.

Nginx location match explorer

Debug Nginx location precedence with an interactive explorer that shows exact matches, longest-prefix memory, regex order, and ^~ short-circuiting.

Rsync include/exclude rule explorer

Debug rsync include and exclude filters with an interactive explorer that shows first-match order, wildcard matching, and parent-directory traversal blockers.

SSH tunnel and jump-host builder

Build SSH commands and reusable ~/.ssh/config blocks for jump hosts, local forwards, remote forwards, and dynamic SOCKS tunnels.

Solar charge controller sizer

Size a solar charge controller using panel Voc, Vmp, Isc, temperature coefficient, stringing, battery voltage, and controller limits, with cold-weather voltage checks and MPPT-versus-PWM guidance.

Systemd timer builder

Build matching systemd service and timer units for recurring Linux jobs, with calendar or monotonic schedules, install commands, and directive explanations.

USB-C cable checker

Check whether a USB-C cable is suitable for charging, data, video, or dock use based on wattage, data rate, and display requirements.
