Automatically scroll down or up through a webpage.
Did you know that you can use javascript to automatically scroll to the bottom or top of any webpage. All you need is the code below & firefox..
var scroll = setInterval(function(){ window.scrollBy(0,8000); }, 2000);
To use this piece of javascript I simply opened up the browsers inspector window by pressing “CTRL+SHIFT+C”, clicked on “CONSOLE” & then pasted in the javascript to the box at the bottom. With the code pasted into the box I then pressed enter & left the browser to do it thing. When finshed I closed the inspector & began looking for what it was I wanted to find.
With the above javascript you can change the numbers at the end to scroll further or less & up or down....

Sharing terminal outputs or configs easily with others.
Sharing outputs from a terminal, or even just config files can sometimes be hard. With termbin it's now super easy. Simply enter your command & then add a pipe to termbin at the end.
e.g. cat hello.txt | nc termbin.com 9999
Sharing files is now super easy & quick. If you like you could add the termbin command to a bash alias so that you only need to type “termbin” each time after the pipe. To do this simply open a terminal within your home directory and type “nano .bashaliases”. This will open your bashaliases file or a blank document if it doesn't already exist in nano. Now type or paste in the code shown below.
alias termbin=“| nc termbin.com 9999”
Save the file by pressing “CTRL+O” & then exiting by pressing “CTRL+X”. Close your terminal and then reopen for the alias to take affect. That's basically it. You can now quickly & easily share outputs & config files from the terminal .
Fixing leafpad config error on Ubuntu.
leafpad: can't save config file – /home/furycd001/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc
For me leafpad on Ubuntu constantly throws up a config error and is never able to save any settings. Turns out it's just some permission errors that are super easy to fix. Simply enter the commands below into a terminal and change “username” to whatever your username is. The problem should now be sorted and leafpad should now be able to save your settings.
sudo chown username ~/.config/leafpad
sudo chown username ~/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc
Thunar not displaying thunbnails on xfce.
Thunar not displaying thumbnails is a problem I regularly run into whenever I do a minimal xfce install. For some reason the required packages for displaying thumbnails in thunar are never included and I end up having to install them manually every time. If like me you ever run into this same problem, here's how to easily fix it with two simple steps..
[1] Install the required packages....
sudo apt-get install tumbler tumbler-plugins-extra ffmpegthumbnailer
[2] Delete all thumbnail cache....
sudo rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails/ && rm -r ~/.thumbnails/
Thumbnails in thunar should now be working again, if not then i'd recommending visiting #linux over on freenode irc, or the community forums for whatever distro you happen to use.
My Linux OS timeline.
- In the 2000 era I ran Fedora Core on a bunch of devices including a Sony Vaio laptop & Dell Dimension desktop....
After experiencing a few problems with Fedora I decided to move on & experience Debain / Ubuntu.
- From 2009 to 2017 I ran Debain on a standard 2009 MacBook
It was a minimal netinstall with lightdm, openbox & a bunch of lightweight apps.
- Christmas 2017 santa gifted me a mid range Lenovo ThinkPad E470....
When I first opened the laptop, I just wanted to game so I nuked the pre-installed Windows 10 & installed Xubuntu 16.04.
The reason that I chose Xubuntu is that I've been an xfce user for most of my Linux life now & Ubuntu was officially supported by steam.
- It's currently the 8th of August 2019 & I feel that I need to move on from Xubuntu 16.04.06....
I've just started making fresh back-ups of my system, while contemplating which system to install next. Should I switch to Fedora, or should I stick with xubuntu.. Or or or should I give Debian a try....
- Hmmmm....
Once I've finished backing-up everything I plan on doing a fresh install of “SOMETHING”, followed by installing my back-ups. Hoping everything is plain sailing & that I enjoy whatever distro I choose....
Download music without vocals....
Ever wanted to download a song without the vocals :? I have and well apparently it's really super easy. All you need is Firefox & wget. Conversion and download times will vary depending on track length.
For this post I'm going to be using Dratna – An Cath (The Battle) (Full EP). An awesome atmospheric black metal ep. You can use whatever you want, be it on youtube or a local file already that you already have saved.
Lets start by opening Vocal Remove Pro.
Once open, upload your music file or paste in the youtube url.
Enter the verification code and start the conversion process.
Once the conversion has completed right click on the page and select Inspect Element.
Using the Inspect Element tool, follow your way through the code until you find the url for the music file. An easy way to do this is to hover & click sections of code and follow the blue trail showing in the web view.
Once you have found the url, copy it and shorten it using bit.ly.
Copy the shortened bit.ly url and open up a new terminal window.
With a new terminal window now open use wget to download the newly converted music file.
Please note that I just happened to stumble upon this randomly. This blog post has been written purely for educational purposes only. It can also be improved.
Using conky with xfce4-panel
For this to work you need to have two things installed on your system.
Go ahead and install both if you don't already have them installed. On debian based systems you can use “apt” from the command line or search for both using either synaptic or software centre. Both can be installed on any Linux system using the default package manager of that system. I just happen to be running xubuntu.
sudo apt install conky xfce4-genmon-plugin
Once you have both of those apps installed on your system go ahead and create a single line conky config. Once you've got that created and saved, open up and modify your conky config file to make conky output to the terminal only. This can be done by adding the following two lines to your config file.
out _ to _ x no
out _ to _ console yes
Please remove the space between “_”
Save and close your config file once you've added those two lines above. Next you'll want to set conky to output to a txt file on startup. This can be done easily by launching conky with the following command.
conky -q -c /your/path/to/conkyconfig > /tmp/conky.txt
You can add that above command to a bash script and set the script to run on startup command from within your “Application Autostart” in xfce. The final step is to add xfce4-genmon-plugin to your panel and then use awk to print the txt file to your panel.
awk 'END{print}' /tmp/conky.txt
That's it. You should now have conky displaying within your panel.
Firefox Send
Firefox Send is a new file sharing service by Mozilla. It's totally free and has end to end encryption. Out of the box without signing up you'll be able to share up to 1 GB, but if you do sign up or log in with a Firefox account that will instantly increase to 2.5 GB. Files that you choose to upload will never be stuck in the cloud or be easily accessible by anonymous people because when you upload a file you have a choice between three options.
- Set an expiration date....
- Limit the number of downloads....
- Set a password....
Using Firefox Send is actually pretty straight forward.
- Simply drag and drop any files or click on the “select files to upload” button to select files manually....
- Once you've selected some files change the expiry date to your liking and choose a password if you like....
- Finally click the upload button....
- Done.. Copy that shareable link and go share those files....
