A collection of links to useful cheat sheets.

Only what's properly printable can get a spot at the top of this list. It should also be small enough to fit on a few pages.
Almost all links in this document were designed by their creators so that YOU can print them in a good-looking format and store them however is best for you.
Anything that isn't really something you could print in A4/US Letter format, but is still a well-made cheatsheet can get a spot at the end of the page.

Pleae contribute any you remember you've seen and liked.
It would be wonderful if we can get these to be something more commonly made.

Convert MOV to GIF using FFmpeg and ImageMagick

I tried a few different techniques to make a GIF via command-line and the following gives me the best control of quality and size. Once you're all setup, you'll be pumping out GIFs in no time!

Preparation

Install FFmpeg

$ brew install ffmpeg [all your options]
- Example: $ brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

Install ImageMagick

	let storeId = 251;
	let param = args.widgetParameter;
	if (param != null && param.length > 0) {
	if (param.indexOf(";") > 0) {
	const paramSplit = param.split(";");
	storeId = paramSplit[0];
	country = paramSplit[1].toLowerCase();
	} else {
	storeId = param;

	This is a tip for NCP Secure Entry macOS Client originally created in 2012,
	so it may not apply to recent versions...

	As of Jan 2024, NCP Secure Entry macOS Client is available here:
	https://www.ncp-e.com/en/service-resources/download-vpn-client
	https://software.ncp-e.com/NCP_Secure_Entry_Client/macOS/ (older releases)

	So, on to the issue...

	To disable the autostart of the NCP Secure Entry Mac Client GUI application on a Mac, just edit the /Library/LaunchAgents/com.ncp-e.ncpmon.plist file and set the value "RunAtLoad" to "false" (from "true"). It's faster to do it via command-line, like this:
