The fact that Linux exposes the ACPI tables to the user via sysfs makes them a gold mine of valuable hardware information for low-level developers. Looping through each of them and disassembling them all makes them even more valuable.
1for i in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/*; do sudo iasl -p $PWD/$(echo $i | cut -d\/ -f6) $i && sudo chown $USER $(echo $i | cut -d\/ -f6); done -
KDE apps expect certain variables to be set, and unfortunately pkexec doesn’t set them by default. So, by setting this alias, it becomes possible to run, e.g. “pkexec kate” or “pkexec dolphin” and it’ll actually run.
3alias pkexec=“pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true” -
In this case I'm selecting all php files in a dir, then echoing the filename and piping it to ~/temp/errors.txt. Then I'm running my alias for PHPCS (WordPress flags in my alias), then piping the PHPCS output to grep and looking for GET. Then I'm piping that output to the same file as above. This gets a list of files and under each file the GET security errors for that file. Extrapolate this to run any command on any list of files and pipe the output to a file. Remove the >> ~/temp/errors.txt to get output to the screen rather than to a file. Show Sample Output
1for f in *php; do echo $f >> ~/temp/errors.txt; phpcsw $f | grep GET >> ~/temp/errors.txt; done -

Resize `file.png` to a 32x32 px image. Use a value other than 32 to create other icon sizes (e.g. 16x16 or 32x32). Combine two favicon sizes using: `convert icon-16px.png icon-32px.png favicon.ico` For a social media preview image, use `2:1#` for the extent and `1200` for the scale.

The Speak & Spell's sound chip uses a compressed audio format called "linear predictive coding". This command will read random bytes and attempt to decompress them as if it were audio data compressed in this format, then play it. This results in a unique sound which is similar to a glitching Speak & Spell.
