pdfsandwich generates "sandwich" OCR pdf files, i.e. pdf files which contain only images (but no editable text) will be processed by optical character recognition (OCR) and the text will be added to each page invisibly "behind" the images. pdfsandwich is a command line tool which is supposed to be useful to OCR scanned books or journals. It is able to recognize the page layout even for multicolumn text. Essentially, pdfsandwich is a wrapper script which calls the following binaries: convert, unpaper, tesseract, gs, and hocr2pdf (if tesseract < 3.03). It is known to run on Unix systems and has been tested on Linux and MacOS X. It supports parallel processing on multiprocessor systems. In contrast to most competing sandwich programs, it performs preprocessing of the scanned images, such as de-skewing or removal of dark edges etc. For further information please read the manual: http://www.tobias-elze.de/pdfsandwich/index.html

Scoop Installer
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

GeoIP
This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats
GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb. -
