Just learned about My traceroute, which combines the functions of the traceroute and ping programs in one tool. Really handy!

I had some videos in the format “My Episode #01.mkv” which I wanted to rename to “S01E01 My Episode #01.mkv“. This little script did the job for me:
# Specify the directory containing the files. For current directory use: $(dirname "$0")
directory="/path/to/your/directory"
# Loop through all .mkv files in the directory
for file in "$directory"/*.{webm,mkv}; do
# Check if the file exists to avoid errors when no files match
[ -e "$file" ] || continue
# Extract the base filename (without the directory path)
filename=$(basename "$file")
# Use regex to find the episode number (e.g., #01, #02)
if [[ $filename =~ \#([0-9]+) ]]; then
episode_number=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
# Pad the episode number with a leading zero if it's a single digit
if [ ${#episode_number} -eq 1 ]; then
episode_number="0$episode_number"
fi
# Construct the new filename
new_filename="S01E${episode_number} $filename"
# Rename the file
mv "$file" "$directory/$new_filename"
echo "Renamed: $filename -> $new_filename"
fi
done
Every few months, I run into this issue when adding a torrent to transgui:
Although there is a 5-year-old closed issue on this bug, which also led to a code adjustment, this bug still seems to exist: https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui/issues/1270
The user Kethsar has probably already found the right cause and gives some hints on how to solve it. At least it helped me to find a workaround:
[AddTorrent.transmission]
section
Folder1=/my/path/1
FolHit1=1
FolExt1=
LastDt1=18.02.2024
Folder2=/my/path/2
FolHit2=3
FolExt2=
LastDt2=18.02.2024
...
It seems like the issues occurs, when the [AddTorrent.transmission]
section reaches Folder50
.

I had a few D1 Minis lying around that I wanted to flash WLED onto. But when plugging into my main PC running Linux Mint 21, no device got recognized. The D1 Mini was just flashing its blue LED light 2 times and that was all. I had already checked before, whether the USB cable is also a Data Link cable, because now and then you accidentally grab a USB cable which is charging only.
Since I was pretty sure it wasn’t a hardware problem, I checked dmesg
for any suspicious messages. I’m using an alias named klog to beautify the output.
sudo dmesg -t -L=never -l emerg,alert,crit,err,warn --human --nopager
And indeed there were some messages regarding USB.
usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ch341 while 'brltty' sets config #1
Since brltty is software for people with visual impairment, I don’t need it and therefore uninstalled it.
sudo apt remove brltty
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove
And after removing brltty, my D1 Mini got recognized immediately. Fortunately, the solution was very simple. 🙂
Update 19.01.2024: If you receive Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Permission denied
errors, when writing to the esp, you have to add your user to the dialout
group and re-login. (*)
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
After connecting to a local dev container using Visual Studio Code and trying to clone a private project from Github I got the following error:
Cloning into 'myProject'...
warning: url has no scheme: helperselector
fatal: credential url cannot be parsed: helperselector
The only way I could remove this error was deleting the helperselector settings. So open the git config with:
git config --edit --global
and remove the the helperselector block (the first two lines). You will now get asked again for your credentials when cloning a project.
