Google Sheets: Sorting by Xn characters.

Sometimes sorting gets really frustrating when all the data you are trying to sort isn’t formatted the same.

Create a new column next to the column you’re attempting to sort, then use this formula to move X amount of characters. I’m using Ford Part #’s and I need to sort by the 4th character in which is the Z

A2 cell = C0AZ-7153-A

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-x)

1	=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-x)

Whereas x = the amount you want to move for example

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-3)

1	=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-3)

which gives

Z-7153-A

From there just copy that formula to the rest of the cells in the new column then u can sort sheet under that column.

mdadm --detail /dev/md0

1	mdadm --detail /dev/md0

detailed status of raid md0

mdadm --create /dev/md0 -n2 -l1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

1	mdadm --create /dev/md0 -n2 -l1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

new raid /dev/md0 with 2 disks, raid level 1 on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2

add /dev/sda1 to /dev/md0

mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -n3

1	mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -n3

use 3 disks in raid /dev/md0 (e.g. add an additional disk, so a damaged drive can be removed later-on)

mdadm --assemble /dev/md0

1	mdadm --assemble /dev/md0

Assemble /dev/md0 (e.g. when running live system)

mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

1	mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Update list of arrays in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ; you should remove old list by hand first!

mdadm --examine /dev/sda1

1	mdadm --examine /dev/sda1

What is this disk / partition?

sysctl -w dev.raid.speed_limit_min=10000

1	sysctl -w dev.raid.speed_limit_min=10000

Set minimum raid rebuilding speed to 10000 kiB/s (default 1000)

sfdisk -d /dev/sdX | sfdisk /dev/sdY

1	sfdisk -d /dev/sdX \| sfdisk /dev/sdY

sgdisk /dev/sdX -R /dev/sdY ; sgdisk -G /dev/sdY

1	sgdisk /dev/sdX -R /dev/sdY ; sgdisk -G /dev/sdY

Copy partition table from sdX to sdY (GPT)

To boot a machine even with a degraded array, modify /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm and run update-initramfs -c -kall (Use with caution!)

LVM

pv: physical device (e.g. /dev/md0 or /dev/sda1)
vg: volume group (consists of 1 or more pvs, contains lvs); has a name (e.g. lvm)
lv: logical volume (has a name which defines its path, e.g. /dev/lvm/root which equals dev/mapper/lvm-root)
command description

pvcreate /dev/md0

1	pvcreate /dev/md0

initializes /dev/md0 as phys device for a volume group

vgcreate lvm /dev/md0

1	vgcreate lvm /dev/md0

create volume group lvm with phys device /dev/md0

lvcreate -L30G -nroot lvm ; mkfs.ext4 /dev/lvm/root

1	lvcreate -L30G -nroot lvm ; mkfs.ext4 /dev/lvm/root

create logical volume root, sized 30G in volume group lvm; format with ext4

lvextend -L60G -nroot lvm ; resize2fs /dev/lvm/root

1	lvextend -L60G -nroot lvm ; resize2fs /dev/lvm/root

extend /dev/lvm/root to 60G; also resize file system to new size

pvs, vgs, lvs

1	pvs, vgs, lvs

show short info about pv, vg and lv

pvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvdisplay

1	pvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvdisplay

show long info

pvscan /dev/md0

1	pvscan /dev/md0

scan disks for physical volumes (e.g. when running live system)

vgextend lvm /dev/md1

1	vgextend lvm /dev/md1

add phys device /dev/md1 to volume group lvm (need pvcreate first!)

pvmove /dev/md0 ; vgreduce lvm /dev/md0

1	pvmove /dev/md0 ; vgreduce lvm /dev/md0

move all logical volumes from /dev/md0 and remove phys device from volume group

Nmap Command Examples

This is really old, but still helpful

Basic scan:

$ sudo nmap 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap 192.168.1.50
Scan multiple addresses:

$ sudo nmap 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.51 192.168.1.52

1

$ sudo nmap 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.51 192.168.1.52
Scan entire subnet looking for valid hosts. This quick scan will also grab MAC address and perform MAC lookup to help determine what the host is.

$ sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.50
Discovery: Before a scan nmap will attempt to send an ICMP echo request. To not send the ICMP, :

$ sudo nmap -PN 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -PN 192.168.1.50
To do only a ping scan:

$ sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.50
Do an ARP Ping scan:

$ sudo nmap -PR 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -PR 192.168.1.50
Port Scanning options: Performing a Fast scan:

$ sudo nmap -F 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -F 192.168.1.50
Scan only specific ports:

$ sudo nmap -p22 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -p22 192.168.1.50
Scan multiple ports:

$ sudo nmap -p 22,25,53 , 80-250 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -p 22,25,53 , 80-250 192.168.1.50
Scan ports by name (found in /etc/services)

$ sudo nmap -p snmtp,ftp 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -p snmtp,ftp 192.168.1.50
Scan all ports:

$ sudo nmap -p "*" 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -p "*" 192.168.1.50
Choose between TCP and/or UDP:

$ sudo nmap -p -T:3000-4000 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -p -T:3000-4000 192.168.1.50
What OS is the target running?

$ sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.50
If the OS is unknown, have nmap attempt to guess the OS

$ sudo nmap -O --osscan-guess 192.168.1.50

1

$ sudo nmap -O --osscan-guess 192.168.1.50
Service version detection

$ sudo nmap -sV 192.168.1.50

Disable Energy Star features on monitors

Posted by phatdee on May 31, 2019

Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a Comment

I have no idea how or why this started happening however my monitors would go black after 15 seconds of idle. No power settings or screensavers were causing it, nor did I see any helpful logs to help troubleshoot. However somewhere/how the Energy Star features of my monitor got enabled and literally after 15 seconds of idle time the monitors would go black..

Simple fix:

$ sudo xset -dpms

1	$ sudo xset -dpms

This fixed the issue not only for the current logged in session but also after a reboot.
