Just some tips I found useful

Linux related stuff. Mostly relative to configuration

Rtorrent ref (deprecated commands and new commands):

Curl tips

curl -F 'data=@path2file' UPLOAD_ADDRESS

SSH

Create a tunnel to forward local port 9000 to remote port 8080:

ssh -L 9000:10.10.10.10:8080 user@example.com

Add ControlMaster to ~/.ssh/config:

host Example
    Hostname X.Y.Z.Q
    Port 2222
    Protocol 2
    User USERNAME
    AddressFamily inet
    CheckHostIP yes
    Compression yes
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p

Screenshot command line

$ yay -S cutycapt
$ CutyCapt --url=http://example.com --out=/tmp/a.png

Could fail on “rich” website. To be tested

vim

Ctrl w t Ctrl w K

Switch from horizontal split to verticalsplit

command line help

Got help in commande line. It will works using different language (ruby, perl, python)

$ curl cht.sh/go/execute-external+program
/*
* Calling an external command in GO
* 
* You need to use the exec package (http:golang.org/pkg/os/exec/) :
* start a command using Command (http:golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Command)
* and use Run to wait for completion.
*/
    
cmd := exec.Command("yourcommand", "some", "args")
if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil { 
fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
}   

/*
* If you just want to read the result, you may use Ouput
* (http:golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd.Output) instead of Run.

openvpn

Request specific DNS IP for vpn (work)

  • Create a script and make it executable, make sure this file will not be writeable by every one:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# arguments received: tun0 1500 1552 10.0.1.3 255.255.255.0 init
ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 10.0.1.1 dev $1
resolvectl dns $1 192.168.100.X
resolvectl domain $1 "~domain.local"
resolvectl dnssec $1 off
#ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 10.0.1.1 dev $1
  • Add in ovpn configuration file:
script-security 2
up <PATH TO THE SCRIPT>
  • run openvpn –config <file.ovpn>
  • systemd-resolve --status tun0 to check if DNS server is well configured:
Link 45 (tun0)
    Current Scopes: DNS
         Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 192.168.100.X
       DNS Servers: 192.168.100.X
        DNS Domain: ~domain.local
