Manually deleting movies and pictures from OnePlus 5

When you delete the content of the DCIM folder on the phone the space, for some reason, does not gets released. This is because the phone stores the files in  /Android/data/com.oneplus.gallery/files/recyclebin instead of just deleting them .. *sigh*

Adding SSH Keys to CloneZilla disk-image

Create working-directory in root’s homdir:

root@Voyager:~# mkdir my-clonezilla
root@Voyager:~# cd my-clonezilla/
root@Voyager:~/my-clonezilla# 

Generate SSH Keys:

root@Voyager:~/my-clonezilla# ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in ./id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in ./id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:YcOXhcGKgm8MPQWPqdY7FzgLvn1/B+CaFn9Az+WOTgU root@Voyager
The key's randomart image is:

Writing a simple bash filter

To write a simple bash filter application, start by declaring
your filter as a bash script with #!/usr/bin/env bash.
This informs your shell what interpreter to use when running the script.

The trick to writing a filter is to read lines from a filename if supplied
${1},
or from /dev/stdin
if no filename is supplied.

An example script lowercase

#!/usr/bin/env bash

while read line; do
    echo ${line,,}
done < "${1:-/dev/stdin}"

This script can then be utilized in a pipeline, e.g. cat file | lowercase
or by feeding it a filename,

lowercase file
.

Screenshot script for Ubuntu 18.04

This script will take a screenshot, upload it to a server and copy the URL into your clipboard and finaly play a sound to tell you that it’s done, first install xclip:

apt-get install xclip

Create screenshot.sh

#!/bin/bash
filename='Screenshot_from_'`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`'.png'
echo $filename
gnome-screenshot --area --file=`eval echo ~`/Pictures/$filename
scp ~/Pictures/$filename user@website.dk:/var/www/website.dk/htdocs-ssl/screenshots/$filename               
echo -n https://website.dk/screenshots/$filename|xclip
aplay ~/screenshot.wav

You must setup ssh-keys to allow the scp transfer to go through without password.

Now open Ubuntu Settings (The gear and wrench icon), select “Devices” and “Keyboard” scroll to the bottom and click the plus-sign (+) and fill it out as following:

And finaly you need to find a wave file you want to play afterwards, i use one of a camera shutter i found on a creative commons website – which i unfortunateley lost the link to … if you have a good link, please submit it and i will post it.

Installing Vagrant and host-manager with LXC on Ubuntu 18.04

This took me quite a while and failed tries to figure out:

apt-get update
apt-get install lxc
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.1.2/vagrant_2.1.2_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i vagrant_2.1.2_x86_64.deb
vagrant plugin install vagrant-lxc
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

You should probably check if a newer version has been released, if you miss any dependencies try to install the vagrant-lxc packages from Ubuntu before the .deb package.

Create a project folder containing the following Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
   config.vm.box = "debian/stretch64"
   config.hostmanager.enabled = true
   config.hostmanager.manage_host = true
   config.hostmanager.manage_guest = true

   config.vm.define "ns1" do |ns1|
     ns1.vm.hostname = "ns1.local"
   end

   config.vm.define "ns2" do |ns2|
     ns2.vm.hostname = "ns2.local"
   end

end

Now run

vagrant up

To bring the environment online, and verify name-resolving and connectivity:

# ping ns1.local -c 4
PING ns1.local (10.0.3.14) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ns1.local (10.0.3.14): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.052 ms

64 bytes from ns1.local (10.0.3.14): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.081 ms

--- ns1.leandns.com ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.052/0.066/0.081/0.010 ms

Connect to one of the machines with:

# vagrant ssh ns1

Enjoy 😉

Installing Vagrant with KVM on Ubuntu 18.04

Start by installing necessary packages:

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system virtinst bridge-utils vagrant-libvirt

Create an ordinary user and add it to the sudo and the libvirt group:

adduser mike
usermod -G libvirt,sudo mike

Now you should be able to switch into this user and give Vagrant a spin:

su - mike
mkdir testmachine
cd testmachine
vagrant init debian/stretch64
vagrant up

Inotify, Run (Python) script once it changes

This is sadly Linux Only, start by installing inotify-tools:

# apt-get install inotify-tools

and create the following script:

#!/bin/sh
clear
echo Waiting for filechange ...
inotifywait -q -m -e close_write,moved_to --format %e/%f . |
while IFS=/ read -r events file; do
    if [ "$file" = "script.py" ]; then
        clear
        python ./script.py
    fi
done

this actually watches the directory, because Vim writes files by writing your alterations to a temporary file and moving it in place of the old one, however this aproach also works with normal write.

Apple-style screenshoting with autoupload

Install xclip and scrot:

apt-get install scrot xclip

Download a shutter wave, i found one here: https://www.soundjay.com/camera-sound-effect.html

Actually this one: https://www.soundjay.com/mechanical/camera-shutter-click-03.wav

Add the following lines to your i3 config (~/.config/i3/config):

bindsym --release Shift+Print exec --no-startup-id scrot -s -e 'scp $f root@example.com:/var/www/screenshots && echo https://example.com/screenshots/$f|xclip && aplay ~/.config/screenshot.wav'

bindsym --release $mod+Shift+4 exec --no-startup-id scrot -s -e 'scp $f root@example.com:/var/www/screenshots && echo https://example.com/screenshots/$f|xclip && aplay ~/.config/screenshot.wav'

Note i added two keybindings, you may choose any combination you wish.

You also need to install password-less ssh keys for the example.com server for this to work.
