Resources

for document preparation:
- TRAMP
for remote file editing within Emacs:
- Alpine
a modern rewrite of the classic Pine email client
- timg
light-weight utility to convert images/PDFs for display on the terminal
- links
a terminal web-browser good enough to let me log-in and read my daily paper
- cmus
my terminal-based music player of choice
- VLC
good old VLC has a CLI and even a curses interface
- Gomuks
a terminal client for Matrix
- dired
Emacs comes with a powerful file-management tool

is a nice way of batch-renaming directly from the shell
