fdgdd··on OpenFOV – Webcam head tracking for iRacing
It looks like this is just for Microsoft's Windows. I used to use TrackIR when I gamed on that. I missed that functionality when I moved to game on Linux. That is, until LookPilot (https://lookpilot.app/, it's on Steam, too) arrived. Webcam tracking is good because you don't need to wear a headset, but not so good in a dark room.
fdgdd··on SSH Secret Menu
I don't know about it changing your characters, but you can search for a string verbatim by pressing ctrl-r at the start of the search pattern, like this:

  /<ctrl-r>~?
fdgdd··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
Exodus (https://github.com/intoli/exodus) used to be good for this but is giving me a Python error these days.

sc-im (https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im/)? It might have too many or too few features, depending on your point of view.

Maybe you can make use of its userContent.css support (http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserContent.css). I use it to force word wrap on pre blocks.
fdgdd··on Violentmonkey – An open source userscript manager
There's no need for extensions or userscript for this with Firefox. In ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/chrome/userContent.css:

  @-moz-document domain("news.ycombinator.com") {
      .hnuser { font-size: 20px }
  }
You'll have to restart Firefox for it to come into effect.
