Have you ever though backups can make your life easier, do you make backups of your important data? or your backups usually outdated because you forgot to make a backup at the right time. I believe not much people make regular backups because many tools are too complicated or people simply don't have enough time.
Duplicati is very simple advanced tool that can solve your backup problems, it is free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers. Duplicati is open source software (LGPL), written in C# and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The Duplicati project started as "duplicity for Windows" but then went its own way. It works with Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH, FTP (and many more). Duplicati has a built-in scheduler, so that it's easy to have a regular, up-to-date backup. Furthermore, Duplicati uses file compression and is able to store incremental backups to save storage space and bandwidth.

Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. Conky is licensed under the GPL and runs on Linux and BSD. Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours. Conky is able to monitor many system variables including CPU, memory, swap, disk space, temperature, top, upload, download, system messages, and much more. It is extremely configurable, however, the configuration can be a little hard to understand. Conky is a fork of torsmo.
You can check previously shared conky versions for Linux desktop. Neon conky is available in three different colors (Blue, Red, Yellow). I wrote a script to automate whole installation process for this conky, so everybody can easily install it or remove it from system using uninstall script. During installation setup will ask you which color you want and after that conky will be installed in your system and conky related wallpaper will be added to (~/Pictures) location, after installation change your wallpaper to conky related for best results, I hope no one will get any problem with installation. It is tested on most of Linux desktops environments: Gnome Shell, Unity, Cinnamon, Gnome Classic, Mate and hopefully will work on others too. This conky displays Date/Time, CPU, Memory, and Internet upload/download speed. I dropped PPA support for conky because many user report problems, so as usual I picked up only wget script installation method because it can work with most of the Linux distributions without any problem and automated interactive setup makes stuff easy.

Tmux Terminal Multiplexer

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, it enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. Tmux is intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen. Tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
When Tmux is started it creates a new session with a single window and displays it on screen. A status line at the bottom of the screen shows information on the current session and is used to enter interactive commands.
A session is a single collection of pseudo terminals under the management of Tmux. Each session has one or more windows linked to it. A window occupies the entire screen and may be split into rectangular panes, each of which is a separate pseudo terminal. Any number of TMUX instances may connect to the same session, and any number of windows may be present in the same session. Once all sessions are killed, Tmux exits. Also checkout Tmux manual.
