Enable PipeWire on Ubuntu 22.04

This guide is only for original Ubuntu out-of-the-box packages. If you have added a custom PPA like pipewire-debian, you might get into conflicts.

Ubuntu 22.04 has PipeWire partially installed and enabled as it's used by browsers (WebRTC) for recoding the screeen under Wayland. We can enable remaining parts and use PipeWire for audio and Bluetooth instead of PulseAudio.

Starting from WirePlumber version 0.4.8 automatic Bluetooth profile switching (e.g. switching from A2DP to HSP/HFP when an application needs microphone access) is supported. Jammy (22.04) repos provide exactly version 0.4.8. So, we're good.

Based on Debian Wiki, but simplified for Ubuntu 22.04.

PostgreSQL 9.x Sequence Fixing Script

This script is intended to automatically fix the sequence numbers for all tables in the current database.

This is accomplished through the use of the setval() command, which we provide with the next ID value we wish to make use of. We use the setval(sequence, number, is_called) overload and set is_called = false in conjunction with COALESCE(MAX + 1, 1) to ensure that, with an empty table, the next sequence value is 1 as expected.

Running

shamil

From: https://serverfault.com/a/881415

nmap -p 443 --script ssl-cert gnupg.org

The -p 443 specifies to scan port 443 only. All ports will be scanned if it is omitted, and the certificate details for any SSL service that is found will be displayed. The --script ssl-cert tells the Nmap scripting engine to run only the ssl-cert script. From the doc, this script "(r)etrieves a server's SSL certificate. The amount of information printed about the certificate depends on the verbosity level."

Sample output:

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-11-01 13:35 PDT

Nmap scan report for gnupg.org (217.69.76.60)

TFTP server on Fedora

Here are some quick notes on setting up a TFTP server on Fedora 23. This is used, for example, to send Linux kernel images and other binaries to a bootloader on an embedded system.

First, install the packages:

sudo dnf install -y tftp tftp-server

shamil

#!/bin/bash

sudo rm -fr /opt/franz
sudo rm -fr /usr/share/applications/franz.desktop


# create installation dir
sudo mkdir -p /opt/franz

#install franz
