testssl.sh is a free command line tool which checks a server’s service on any port for the support of TLS/SSL ciphers, protocols as well as some flaws. It’s designed to provide a clear output for a “is this good or bad” decision. It works for Linux and BSD out of the box – no need to install or configure something, no gems, CPAN, pip or the like.
If you use the Qualys online SSL checker a lot, you need to try this, it’s very fast if you are experimenting with SSL config options.
If you want this to work (for example for https elisp repositories) I strongly recommend you use the version of Emacs that is bundled with Cygwin.

Leaving passwords in your shell history is a security issue. I wrote a tool to help check: checkhistory.
Feel free to send me pull requests / patches with additional regexes to match.
I wanted a commandline IMAP mailbox checker so I wrote one: imapchkr
Normal output for this is as below:
➜ ~ [jamespo: 0/190] [gmail: 0/80]
But I decided I wanted to embed it in my GNU screen hardstatus so expanded it to offer a short output option (imapchkr -s). See bottom left corner for output.

Configure your ~/.screenrc like this:
backtick 1 60 60 /home/james/bin/screen_agenda
backtick 2 90 90 /home/james/bin/imapchkr -s
hardstatus on
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{wk}%2`%{yk}%1` %{= kG}%-Lw%{= kW}%50> %n%f* %t%{= kG}%+Lw%<'
screen -t root
screen -t mail
screen -t root
I'm also using gcalci for Google Calendar appointments.

If you have a list/tuple in python and you want to use the items in there to return an index of the position of the item, you can do so like this:
a = ('archive', 'audio', 'document', 'video', 'executable',
'image', 'misc', 'parity')
lookup = { v:k for k,v in enumerate(a) }
