This one doesn’t actually seem to load new network requests, but the way the scrolling works seems to break any other screenshot application I’ve tried.
Can confirm, tested it with Signal forum, also discourse.
Fireshot stops at the end of the current loaded messages (20 of 94) and doesnt scroll further by itself.
I want to preserve and archive information I used because it’s a reflection of the things I did, learned and studied throughout life.
Then my use case are:
Orientation about “events”: places to visit on daytrips or holidays (musea, nature, parks, campsites) and looking for practical information and background as well.
Gather a “dossier”: info to help make a decision (buying expensive things, how to do home improvement etc)
Building a personal knowledge database: interesting articles and blogs.
My current workflow:
Browse
Bookmark extensively
Download pdf or other content (maps, routes, images) when provided.
Open bookmarks.
Fireshot every webpage to pdf and png
Save everything with a consequent filename (YYYYMMDD - Source - Title)
I would like to automate the last 3 steps of my workflow.
What kind of prompt does your company 2FA provide? Using openconnect with networkmangler, I get a pop up to input my pin+totp. I haven’t done the script way in the last few years, but the connection script is plain shell and I was able to handle the 2FA from there too
It’s some time ago I dug deeper on what was happening, but openconnect was getting a different response from the server than it expected and it just failed because of that.
I love programs like freecad despite the really hard/unintuitive gui.
95% of all the modelling i need to do (as an amateur) can be done easily in a python script.
The finishing touches like adding filets and chamfers are the annoying part were gui is easier, due to the way edges are referenced.
Likewise at work, we have to produce a lot of regular reports in excel.
All done via python / sql.
I use a little oneliner with tofi (rofi/wofi would also work) to select the current output and avoid pavucontrol. It’s mapped to a sway binding but would probably work in any wm/de:
pactl set-default-sink $(pactl list short sinks |awk '{print $2}' |tofi $tofi_args)
I’m using pipewire so the functionality of pactl is actually provided through pipewire-pulse I think
Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.
I’ve looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.
It’s been years since I had to admin Windows servers, but I was quite impressed with the number of MS products where the install and configuration tools would output the Powershell commands to carry out the changes you’d asked for. It made it quite a lot easier to automate. I’d love to see that paradigm catch on more widely, with the GUI and CLI having the same functionality and the GUI giving you the commands to run.
For me it’s the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.
This, but for a Fireshot like tool. Screenshot and pdf of webpages in their entirety by scrolling while shotting. In bulk, with CLI.
Do you have a legitimate use-case for this?
It’s also the use cases supported by Linkwarden:
https://lemmy.world/post/17716634
Does this support sites that lazy load content as you scroll?
Not sure, search on “screenshot lazy load Fireshot” or “screenshot lazy load Linkwarden” does not turn up anything conclusive.
Do you have an example?

Dont know if it’s illegitimate otherwise 😉

Just from the top of my head.
For Excel there is a PowerShell module called Import-Excel that I use all the time.
I see, nice, but I’m on Linux, so perhaps I need to run power shell there ^^
If you don’t want to use PowerShell in Linux, there’s also nushell, which is another (non-POSIX) shell that can process Excel files
I forgot where I was posting. (I use both win and Linux pretty heavily.) I have pwsh, let me see if import-excel works on linux and report back.
Appears to work as well as it does on windows. I guess the only downside is learning powershell if you have no previous experience with it.

For anyconnect: openconnect works perfectly, either as standalone script or via networkmangler.
Check out openconnect to connect to anyconnect VPNs
I did, doesn’t work with our company setup with 2FA.

It seems to exist: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can’t be done programmatically :(
This is one reason I love FreeCAD. Everything done in the GUI is just a python call

pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

Yeah, it changes without skipping a beat for me in pipewire, even in things like zoom/teams.

I like gui file browser with integrated console window that prints all the commands you trigger by using gui as well.
