YouTube Viewer

By Daniel Șuteu March 02, 2012

# GTK YouTube Viewer This application came to life in 12 September 2010 as my first GTK2/Glade learning project.

Its scope is to search and play YouTube videos in a native player. It comes with various search options; it can search for videos, playlists and/or channels. The videos are streamed directly in a selected video player at the best resolution (customizable) and with closed-captions (if available).

By default, the application supports three video players: MPV (recommended), MPlayer and VLC, but it allows the addition of more players inside the configuration file.

For a better experience, the application also comes with built-in authentication support, using the OAuth 2.0 mechanism. After inserting the authentication token, a new tab will appear, named "My panel", which has the following buttons:

obmenu-generator

By Daniel Șuteu February 21, 2012

obmenu-generator is a simple, lightweight, easily configurable Perl script that generates a full Openbox XML-menu based upon the information present in *.desktop application files (related to fbmenugen and menutray).

It has full support for icons (respecting the current icon theme) and can generate either a static or a dynamic menu.

The parsing of the *.desktop files is provided by the Linux::DesktopFiles module.

In a dynamic menu, the entries are updated automatically when a new application is installed or when the current icon theme is changed by the user.

Starting with version 0.61, obmenu-generator introduced a new smart-cache system which will store all the required data from the *.destkop files in a new cache.db file, which is also updated automatically when a new application is (re)installed or when the config.pl or schema.pl are changed. With the new cache-system in place, a full menu with icons is generated in ~8ms (compared to ~60ms before).

In version 0.80, we introduced ye…

alsi

By Daniel Șuteu August 10, 2012

alsi is a system information tool, designed for Arch Linux, related to archey and screenfetch, but more configurable.

All the configuration files are in: ~/.config/alsi

For example, to configure it for Gentoo, get the gentoo logo and put it in alsi.logo file, change something in alsi.output and alsi.conf files (if necessary) and then execute: alsi -f -l -c1=blue -c2=purple

Result:

1. Changing alsi.output:

Partial sums of arithmetical functions

By Daniel Șuteu November 25, 2018

In this post I would like to present some interesting generalized formulas for computing the partial sums of some arithmetical functions.

RSA algorithm

By Daniel Șuteu January 09, 2017

RSA is a practical public-key cryptographic algorithm, which is widely used on modern computers to communicate securely over large distances.

The acronym of the algorithm stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, which first published the algorithm in 1978.

# Algorithm overviewChoose `p` and `q` as distinct prime numbersCompute `n` as `n = p*q`Compute `\phi(n)` as `\phi(n) = (p-1) * (q-1)`Choose `e` such that `1 < e < \phi(n)` and `e` and `\phi(n)` are coprimeCompute the value of `d` as `d ≡ e^(-1) mod \phi(n)`Public key is `(e, n)`Private key is `(d, n)`The encryption of `m` as `c`, is `c ≡ m^e mod n`The decryption of `c` as `m`, is `m ≡ c^d mod n`
# Generating `p` and `q` In order to generate a public and a private key, the algorithm requires two distinct prime numbers `p` and `q`, which are randomly chosen and should have, roughly, the same number of bits. By today standards, it is recommended that each prime number to have at least 2048 bits.

In Perl, there is a…

obbrowser

By Daniel Șuteu December 29, 2012

obbrowser is a very simple script which displays files and directories in the Openbox menu. It recursively browse the filesystem through openbox3 pipe menus. (related to fbrowse-tray)

The following line needs to be added inside the menu.xml file:
<menu id="obbrowser /my/dir" label="Disk" execute="obbrowser"/>

Or, if you are using the obmenu-generator, add the following line inside the schema.pl file:
{pipe => ['obbrowser /my/dir', 'Disk', 'drive-harddisk']},

The script supports a large variety of icons, thanks to File::MimeInfo module.

Simple version, in C++:

Creating a programming language

By Daniel Șuteu August 23, 2015

In this post we're going to look over the main things required in designing and implementing a programming language.

# Overview Before writing any code and before designing any language construct, we need to think about the core of the language that we want to create. The core of the language is the most important part which defines the language itself.

We also have to choose a programming paradigm for our language from the following list:
imperativedeclarativefunctionalobject-orientedprocedurallogicsymbolic
A language can have more than one paradigm. For example, it can be imperative and object-oriented at the same time. This are called multi-paradigm languages.

After this two criteria are met, we can start thinking about a syntax for our language and begin carefully to design language constructs and implement them.
In order to implement our programming language, we need to write a parser which creates an abstract syntax tree (AST) from our source code. The abstract syntax tree is…

Investigating the Fibonacci numbers modulo m

By Daniel Șuteu August 10, 2018

The Fibonacci sequence is, without doubt, one of the most popular sequences in mathematics and in popular culture, named after Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa (also known as Fibonacci, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano Bigollo, or Leonardo Fibonacci), who first introduced the numbers in Western European with his book Liber Abaci, in 1202.

menutray

By Daniel Șuteu February 21, 2012

Menutray is a simple menu generator (related to obmenu-generator and fbmenugen).

It generates a Perl script containing all the applications from the /usr/share/applications directory, ordered on categories. It also provides a schema file for customization.

Starting with version 0.42, menutray supports Gtk3 with the --gtk3 option.

AUR Link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/menutray/

fbmenugen

By Daniel Șuteu February 21, 2012

fbmenugen is a simple menu generator for the Fluxbox WM (related to menutray and obmenu-generator).

It generates a valid Fluxbox menu file with the applications from the /usr/share/applications directory, ordered on categories. It also provides a configuration file that allows the user to customize the menu.
