#unixtools — Public Fediverse posts

How many links are buried inside a large PDF — and where do they really go?

I extracted every URL from a 291-page Voron assembly manual, isolated shortlinks, resolved redirects, and built a TSV [tab-delimited] manifest with video duration + titles using:

pdfgrep
awk
curl
yt-dlp

A practical method for auditing technical PDFs and embedded media.

Finally time to boast post about a bday gift I bought myself:

Really enjoying my Friday night!
Working on my ed(1) in the sh(1)!
