Best Free and Open Source Alternatives to Apple Lossless Audio Codec - LinuxLinks
Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is an audio compression technology that employs lossless compression. It’s a form of compression that preserves all of the original data.
ALAC is proprietary software. We couldn’t find any technical documentation on the codec. While its decoding speed is good, compression is on the average side. We recommend open source alternatives to ALAC.
sn - sniff out build artifacts - LinuxLinks
If you do a significant amount of programming, you’ll probably end up with build artifacts scattered about. Build artifacts are files produced by a build. sn is a tool to help you find those artifacts.
sn is also a replacement for du. It has nicer output, saner commands and defaults, and it even runs faster on big directories thanks to multi-threading.
