Remove duplicate lines whilst keeping order and empty lines
Find recursively all files in ~/Notes with the extension '.md' and pipe that via xargs to rename command, which will replace every '.md' to '.txt' in this example (existing files will not be overwritten).
Based on capsule8 agent examples, not rigorously tested

An old USB A/B cable is all you need to make your own Smart Home hardware!
Cut off and discard the B-portion of the USB cable. On the A side, connect the RED (+) and WHITE (D-) wires via a 1 kiloohm resistor.

Now plug the cable into a USB port on your Linux computer. Your hardware is ready!
Run the above command after changing variable mysms to your personal email-to-SMS gateway info as required by your cellular service provider.
The command uses the amazing usbmon tool (see link below) to detect the cable.
For the curious, to view the raw usbmon output, run this command: (Also see the sample output)
$usbmon -i usb0
How does it work? When the red and white wires are connected (via the 1 kiloohm resistor) the USB hardwere is tricked into thinking that a new USB device is trying to start up.
We then use the usbmon utility to capture the host USB events as it tries to talk to the cable.
The expect utility watches the usbmon stream and waits for the disconnect text "-2:128" before sending the SMS message.
Finally, the sendmail tool is used to email the SMS message to your smartphone via your cellular provider's SMS-to-email gateway.
As a result, when the electrical connection between the red and white wire is interrupted, or the USB cable is unplugged from your computer, you get an SMS notification of the disconnect event on your smartphone.
Could this be the cheapest smart home gadget ever? What are YOU going to sense with it?

This command starts screen with 'htop', 'nethogs' and 'iotop' in split-screen. You have to have these three commands (of course) and specify the interface for nethogs - mine is wlan0, I could have acquired the interface from the default route extending the command but this way is simpler.
htop is a wonderful top replacement with many interactive commands and configuration options. nethogs is a program which tells which processes are using the most bandwidth. iotop tells which processes are using the most I/O.
The command creates a temporary "screenrc" file which it uses for doing the triple-monitoring. You can see several examples of screenrc files here: http://www.softpanorama.org/Utilities/Screen/screenrc_examples.shtml
