Alternative way to generate an XKCD #936 style 4 word password usig sed

This is what I came up to generate XKCD #936 style four-word password. Since first letter of every word is capitalized it looks a bit more readable to my eyes. Also strips single quotes. And yes - regex is a bit of a kludge, but that's the bes i could think of. Show Sample Output

shuffle lines via bash

Using perl in a one-liner is a bit overkill to randomly sort some input. `sort` from coreutils should be enough.

Took one of the samples, added capitalization and removes in between spaces. The final "echo" is just for readability. Cheers Show Sample Output

Generate an XKCD #936 style 4 word password

The first grep rejects capitalised words since the dict has proper nouns in it that you mightn't want to use. The second grep rejects words with ending in apostrophe s, and the third forces the words to be at least 15 characters long. Show Sample Output

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.

List all active access_logs for currently running Apache or Lighttpd process

Ever logged into a *nix box and needed to know which webserver is running and where all the current access_log files are? Run this one liner to find out. Works for Apache or Lighttpd as long as CustomLog name is somewhat standard. HINT: works great as input into for loop, like this: $ for i in `lsof -p $(netstat -ltpn|awk '$4 ~ /:80$/ {print substr($7,1,index($7,"/")-1)}')| awk '$9 ~ /access.log$/ {print $9| "sort -u"}'` ; do echo $i; done Very useful for triage on unfamiliar servers!

Do quick arithmetic on numbers from STDIN with any formatting using a perl one liner.

Good for summing the numbers embedded in text - a food journal entry for example with calories listed per food where you want the total calories. Use this to monitor and keep a total on anything that ouputs numbers.

list block devices

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

Get the Last tweet (Better than Twitter feed rrs)

I was using some twitter bots and twitter bloks my IP. Now im using some proxys and i use these command to validate the tweet was published.

Create named LUKS encrypted volume

You need to be root to do this. So check the command before running it. You enter the same password for Enter LUKS passphrase: Verify passphrase: Enter passphrase for /dev/loopn: ___ You can then copy the .img file to somewhere else. Loop it it with losetup -f IMAGENAME.img and then mount it with a file manager (eg nemo) or run mount /dev/loopn /media/mountfolder Acts similar to a mounted flash drive

grep (or anything else) many files with multiprocessor power

Parallel does not suffer from the risk of mixing of output that xargs suffers from. -j+0 will run as many jobs in parallel as you have cores. With parallel you only need -0 (and -print0) if your filenames contain a '\n'. Parallel is from https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/parallel/

list block devices

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

Find the package that installed a command

It only works in zsh

Extract tarball from internet without local saving
