I’m building a fleet of distributed Raspberry multimedia players and I’ve decided to start with a few terminal commands to manage them.
Let’s begin with a screenshot of current screen contents.

This article will provide instructions for anyone interested in using headless Debian (or any derivatives).
I’m using Debian 9.4 and this freaking KDE5 is freezing very often! What you can do when your desktop stops responding? Restart computer? Use ALT+CTRL+F1…12? Nah! There’s a better solution!
Simply edit your ~/.bash_aliases:
nano ~/.bash_aliases
And append to it:
alias restart-plasma='kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell'
Now whenever your plasma desktop starts trolling you, go to your console and type restart-plasma voilà! Dezombified!
PS. Use tilda to open console in every shitty situation you’ll get into! Simply press F12 and you’ll get nice Quake like terminal.
That’s easy:
find ./ -depth -exec rename -v 's/[^[:ascii:]]/_/g' {} \; | cat -v
Everyone who uses Windows inside Virtualbox on Linux machine (and shares host folders) knows this problem.
I’ve previously posted a note about finding Raspberry Pi without knowing it’s ip address. Well, basically it’s the same… Only you need to change MAC prefix to find other manufacturer. To wrap this is up, this is a command to find device by MAC prefix:
sudo nmap -sP 192.168.100.0/24 | awk '/^Nmap/{ip=$NF}/00:D0:23/{print ip}'
And here you can find actual MAC information (use CTRL+F).
Of course you need Nmap to do that! And sudo is necessary!
Beware that sometimes there might be many prefixes for one manufacturer. Also check company name precisely, for example HP is Hewlett Packard but it also can be ProCurve Networking by HP.
There’s no freaking working tomato timer available on a KDE based Linux distros! Can you believe it? I’ve become a nerdy MacGyver to overcome this.

…well it’s not exactly a supercomputer. It’s an 8 core AMD, NVIDIA 1050 Ti, Linux running machine designed for everyday working and some AI tests. I’ve decided with my girlfriend that we should name it to honor woman in computing industry — therefore please meet Maria.
