2 Useful Free and Open Source Make Static Site Generators - LinuxLinks
LinuxLinks, like most modern websites, is dynamic in that content is stored in a database and converted into presentation-ready HTML when readers access the site.
While we employ built-in server caching which creates static versions of the site, we don’t generate a full, static HTML website based on raw data and a set of templates. However, sometimes a full, static HTML website is desirable. Because HTML pages are all prebuilt, they load extremely quickly in web browsers.
There are lots of other advantages of running a full, static HTML website.

thermald - thermal daemon for Intel Architecture - LinuxLinks
Thermal daemon allows one to change this relationship or add new one via a thermal configuration file (thermal-conf.xml). This file is automatically created (thermal-conf.xml.auto) and used, if the platform has ACPI thermal relationship table. If not this needs to be manually configured.
It focuses on allowing maximum performance based on a “maximum temperature” for the system.
Bear in mind, thermald only works on Intel CPUs.
This is free and open source software.
