On this page I'm continously storing useful Linux (not only) commands collected for past decade :).

  1. Disk space

    du -akd1 | sort -nr | head
  2. lsof

    lsof /folder
    lsof -p 1112
    lsof -u user
    lsof -i TCP:22
    losf -i TCP@127.0.0.1
  3. netcat

    nc -vz[4,6] <ip> <port1-port100>
    nc -lk <ip> <port>
    echo "hello" > /dev/tcp/<ip>/<port>
  4. Video convert

    ffmpeg -nostdin -i input.mov -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -f mp4 -preset faster output.mp4
    requires libavcodec-freeworld package
    
    ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -vf "scale=1920:-1" -preset faster -movflags +faststart -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
  5. Remove old naming of network cards (ethX)

    grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args="net.ifnames=0"
    grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    nmtui - edit connection and interface and reboot
