Check out Gate number for your flight from CLI with Chrome

Check out Gate number for your flight from CLI with Chrome, html2texgt and grep. Works on Arch Linux (Garuda) and probably will work on others. Requirements: * google chrome (might work with chromium as well) * installed html2text (on archlinux: sudo pacman -S python-html2text) * installed grep (comes by default with your OS) * the gate number should be visible at the given website (it's not existent too early before the flight and also disappears after the flight departed) Please don't forget to replace the link to appropriate one, matching your flight. You can also wrap this into something like `whlie true; do ...; sleep 60; done' and this will check and tell you the gate number maximum in 1 minute after it appears on Avinor website.

HOME USE ONLY: Get rid of annoying Polkit password prompts

Although the need to type a password to make certain changes to the system may make perfect sense in a business or educational environment, it makes absolutely zero sense to the home user. So, if you’re at home and would rather get work done than be annoyed by what is essentially Linux’s UAC, then this command is for you.

What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

Search git logs (case-insensitive)

Normally, searching git log comments is case sensitive. The -i luckily applies to the --grep switch.

Retrieve top ip threats from http://isc.sans.org/sources.html and add them into iptables output chain.

Remove a range of lines from a file

Deletes lines from START to END, inclusive. For example +4,10d will delete line 4, 5, ..., 10. Just like the vi command :4,10d does it.

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.

Convert (almost) any video file into webm format for online html5 streaming

If you're using the experimental vorbis encoder (homebrew version of libffmpeg)

Find the package that installed a command

Edit a google doc with vim

Google just released a new commend line tool offering all sorts of new services from the commend line. One of them is uploading a youtube video but there are plenty more google services to interact with. Download it here: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/ Manual: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual This specific command courtesy of lifehacker:http://lifehacker.com/5568817/ Though all can be found in manual page linked above.

send DD a signal to print its progress

every 1sec sends DD the USR1 signal which causes DD to print its progress.

Optimal way of deleting huge numbers of files

Remove all HTML tags from a file

A shorter version of command #3014, using awk instead of sed. Useful when scraping websites with a script.
