If you're running a command with a lot of output, this serves as a simple progress indicator.

This avoids the need to use `/dev/null` for silencing. It works for any command that outputs lines, updates live (`fflush` avoids buffering), and is simple to understand.

You can use \n in your inserted data to insert multiple lines.

The leading number is the position in the file where you want the insert, so in this case a '1' indicates the top of the file.

You need to apt-get install python-sqlparse. This command simply formats a sql query and prints it out. It is very useful when you want to move a sql query from commandline to a shell script. Everything is done locally, so you don't need to worry about copying sql query to external websites.

This inserts timestamp instead of .bak extension.

hexdump could be used for conversion too!

echo defaults to include a newline character at the end of the string, which messes with the hash. If you suppress it with -n then it has the same effect as PHP's ?echo md5("string"), "\t-";? Even more, by using cut you get the exact same output, so it works as a drop-in replacement for the original command for this thread.

This command will execute 1000 requests to the http URL http://127.0.0.1:8000 handlink 100 concurent connections at a time. Then it will display statistics about the time that have been taken.

A bitcoin "brainwallet" is a secret passphrase you carry in the "wallet" of your brain.

The Bitcoin Brainwallet Private Key Calculator calculates the standard base58 encoded bitcoin private key from your "brainwallet" passphrase.

The private key is the most important bitcoin number. All other numbers can be derived from it.

This command uses 3 other functions - all 3 are defined on my user page:

1) brainwallet_exponent() - search for Bitcoin Brainwallet Exponent Calculator

2) brainwallet_checksum() - search for Bitcoin Brainwallet Exponent Calculator

3) b58encode() - search for Bitcoin Brainwallet Base58 Encoder

Do make sure you use really strong, unpredictable passphrases (30+ characters)!

The Bitcoin Brainwallet Private Key Base58 Encoder is the third of three functions needed to calculate a bitcoin PRIVATE key from your "brainwallet" passphrase.

This base58 encoder uses the obase parameter of the amazing bc utility to convert from ASCII-hex to base58. Tech note: bc inserts line continuation backslashes, but the "read s" command automatically strips them out.

I hope that one day base58 will, like base64, be added to the amazing openssl utility.

A bitcoin "brainwallet" is a secret passphrase you carry in your brain.

The Bitcoin Brainwallet Exponent Calculator is the second of three functions needed to calculate a bitcoin PRIVATE key. Roughly, checksum is the first 8 hex digits of sha256(sha256(0x80+sha256(passphrase)))

Note that this is a bash function, which means you have to type its name to invoke it

A bitcoin "brainwallet" is a secret passphrase you carry in your brain.

The Bitcoin Brainwallet Exponent Calculator is one of three functions needed to calculate the bitcoin PRIVATE key. Roughly, the formula is exponent = sha256 (passphrase)

Note that this is a bash function, which means you have to type its name to invoke it.

If you creates a virtualenv just for a test, and at the end, wants remove all installed packages. This is the lever.

To take information about the characteristics of the installed memory modules.

This command will traverse all of the folders and subfolders under current working directory. For every file inside it, it will do a search inside the content of the file for a specific term 'what'. Then it will print a list of the lines that contain that term (and match that pattern). Each matching line will be preceded with the path and name to the file and then the line number iside taht file wehre the pattern was found. Then the actual content of the matching lien will be printed.

The output will be piped throug less, so that the user can scroll through it if it goes beyond the limits of the current display window.

The command creates new session "test", executes 'date' and then start your default shell (to keep the detached session alive). Change 'date' to fit your needs.

will attach the created session.

add -rootwin to make it cover the whole desktop.

This may work better than mounting it as a cifs mount.
