Grab an interface's IP from ifconfig without screen clutter

Sometimes, you don't really care about all the other information that ifconfig spits at you (however useful it may otherwise be). You just want an IP. This strips out all the crap and gives you exactly what you want.

Get decimal ascii code from character

uses the previous "chr" function and uses it to create the inverse function "ord" by brute force.

It's slow, It's inelegant, but it works.

I thought I needed ord/chr to do a cartesian cipher in shell script a whie ago, but eventualy I realized I could get fancy with tr and do the same thing...

List your largest installed packages.

Calculates the size on disk for each package installed on the filesystem (or removed but not purged). This is missing the

| sort -rn

which would put the biggest packges on top. That was purposely left out as the command is slightly on the slow side

Also you may need to run this as root as some files can only be checked by du if you can read them ;)

generate a unique and secure password for every website that you login to

usage: sitepass MaStErPaSsWoRd example.com

description: An admittedly excessive amount of hashing, but this will give you a pretty secure password, It also eliminates repeated characters and deletes itself from your command history.

tr '!-~' 'P-~!-O' # this bit is rot47, kinda like rot13 but more nerdy

rev # this avoids the first few bytes of gzip payload, and the magic bytes.

Makes a Zenity select list based on entries in your wpa_supplicant.conf

If you still connect to your wireless access point manually and need to use wpa_supplicant, the above fu will grep all of the known SSID from your wpa_supplicant.conf file, present it in a Zenity list and return the SSID name you choose. I've wrapped this command in to a bash script that then up's the interface, associates and autenticates. Saves me from using NetworkManager ;)
