Install pip with Proxy

Installs pip packages defining a proxy

Generate Sha1, MD5 hash using echo

This is mostly for my own notes but this command will compute a md5 message digest from the command line. You can also replace md5sum with other checksum commands (e.g., sha1sum)

Mount a Windows share on the local network (Ubuntu) with user rights and use a specific samba user

Find the modified time (mtime) for a file

Watch movies in your terminal

requires mplayer

list block devices

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

Reset hosed terminal,

stty sane resets the tty to basic usable function. The ^J is a newline -- sometimes CR/LF interpretation is broken so use the ^J explicitly.

Using mplayer to play the audio only but suppress the video

Sometimes you only want to linsten the audio while output the video will be a waste of CPU resource and an annoying window. With option -vo null, you will enjoy the audio!

All IP connected to my host

find all computer connected to my host through TCP connection.

shuffle lines via perl

Same, without modules... Probably smarter option: just use the shuf command or even sort -R.
