Pin an Icon & Directory Tree “like OneDrive”

In the left side-pane of windows 10 file explorer where there seems to be the always present, uninstallable in some cases OneDrive icon and file system tree. It is in fact removable however for any posts. Here is how to create your own application aka custom cloud integration with same look and feel as the OD schema, using nothing but a .bat script.

set guid=5BBC1013-643C-463A-B848-6DCEB146805B
set name=cyfrSpace
set folder=%%userprofile%%\cyfrSpace
set icon=C:\SOCOM\cyfr.ico

mkdir C:\Users\%username%\cyfrSpace

WordPress/Linux Bash CLI Notes Engine Facility

I created this process to improve my record keeping while working on a Linux bash shell. It allows for one to take notes while on the command line as well as publish to WordPress for tidy and organized record keeping.

Features:

  • Posts logs to WordPress from any Linux hosts.
  • Log all CLI commands to syslog globally.
  • Record literal notes to syslog.
  • Privately post logs to WordPress via CLI.
  • Posting of Subject from CLI to WP posts.
  • Auto insert [hostname] into WordPress post subject.
  • Auto remove undesired data from WP posts.
  • Auto insert [shortcode] into WordPress posts.

Roadmap:

  • Auto redact sensitive data on CLI WP post actions.
  • Record file changes to syslog (fork tripwire).
  • Post Categories to WordPress posts from CLI.
  • Post Tags to WordPress posts from CLI.

Requirements:

  • A self-hosted WordPress Installation.
  • The free Twenty Fifteen Theme.
  • FOSS Postie Plugin by Wayne Allen.
  • FOSS SyntaxHilighter Evolved by Alex Mills.
  • A pop3 mailbox (Postie to pull & DELETE emails).
  • Logger via the util-linux package.
  • Mailx via the mail-utils package.
  • Rsyslog via rsyslog package.
  • A bit of troysio microcode.

Steps:

  • Install WordPress.
  • Activate Twenty Fifteen Theme.
  • Download/Activate SyntaxHilighter Evolved in plugins.
  • Download/Activate Postie within plugins area.
  • Configure Postie to fetch and posts PRIVATELY text only.
  • Install mail-utils and util-linux packages on all Linux hosts.
  • Create your CLI logging syslog service.
  • Drop the following troysio microcode into e.g. /usr/local/bin/yourio and make it executable.
  • #!/bin/sh
    # Troy Perkins
    # https://troys.io
    # Note: Make sure to remove all "\"es from Shortcode lines before executing. I had to place them in order for this code to be published here due to surrounding bash shortcode in this post.
    
    #Host
    host=`hostname`;
    
    #Pop3 mailbox;
    mailb="your@email.com";
    
    #Content
    file='/var/log/commands.log';
    #file='/var/log/test.log';
    
    #Shortcode
    shrtstart='\[\bash]';
    shrtend='\[\/\bash]';
    
    { echo $shrtstart; cat $file | cut -d':' --complement -s -f1,2,3,4 | sed 's/\ [^\ ]*$//'; echo $shrtend; } | uniq | mailx -s "[$host] $1" $mailb
    

Usage:
To take manual notes type a # sign then your note then hit enter:

root@crm:# # Here is an example of a manual note on the command line.

To send notes to WordPress:

root@crm:# troysio "Here is my subject"

Example Output:

vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing new cut"
cat /var/log/commands.log | cut -d':' --complement -s -f1,2,3,4
vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing new cut"
troysio uniq
vi /usr/bin/troysio
troysio uniq
troysio | uniq
vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing uniq"
vi /usr/bin/troysio
troysio "testing uniq"
cat -A /var/log/commands.log
cp /usr/bin/troysio /usr/bin/troysio-test
vi /usr/bin/troysio-test
troysio-test | cat -A
troysio-test | sub(/\r$/,"") | cat -A
troysio-test | cat -A
# Here is an example of a manual note on the command line.
# Hope you enjoy your note taking helper.
# Cheers.
troysio "here is my subject"
# WordPress post made with above command with title [crm] < host and "here is my subject" on the title of post.
# Joy

To view the actual post, which I’ve changed from Private to Public just for you go here: https://troys.io/crm-here-is-my-subject/

Purge Windows 10 of its useless bloatware

Uninstall individual and most crap apps in Windows 10 using PowerShell.

To start, search for PowerShell in your Start menu, right-click on it and select the option (Run as Administrator).” Or, open a Command Prompt as user administrator, type start Powershell and press the Enter button.

List pre-installed Microshit apps

Get-AppxPackage | ft Name, PackageFullName -AutoSize

List all systemwide apps

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | ft Name, PackageFullName -AutoSize

Remove all pre-installed apps by diarrhea Microcrap

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

Stop pre-provisioning aka on-boarding from happening again by sneaky Gate’s Microdung when new account is added

Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online

Note: Let the last command run for a while, it seems like it’s stuck in a loop but it is not. Let it complete. Rinse and reaping a few times doesn’t hurt either.

Find following Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\

Create new key inside the Windows key folder. Right-click the Windows key, choose New > Hit Key. Name the new key CloudContent.
Create a new value inside that new key. Right-click the CloudContent key and select New > Select DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures.

Double-click the new DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures value to open its properties window. Change the value from 0 to 1 in the Value data box and then click the ok button, then reboot.

The above actions will remove even those sticky apps like Xbox, Skype, Candy Crush and more. Final registry edition is suppose to block them from being reconstructed and leaking back in. Thanks for wasting everyone’s precious time Bill. Quit vomiting on your latests releases asshole.

rsync volume to volume with speed in consideration

rsync -axHAWXS --numeric-ids --info=progress2 /source/ /destination/

What the options do:
-a : all files, with permissions, etc..
-v : verbose, mention files
-x : stay on one file system
-H : preserve hard links (not included with -a)
-A : preserve ACLs/permissions (not included with -a)
-X : preserve extended attributes (not included with -a)
-W : avoid calculating deltas/diffs of the files (for speed)
-S : to consider sparse/tiny files

–numerical-ids : avoids the overhead of mapping UID/GID values (more speed)
–info=progress2 : avoid even more overhead by showing overall progress
