Use yt-dlp to merge best video and best audio formats together into an MPEG-4 container, check for AV1/VP9, and transcode to H.264 if necessary. Usage: ./yt-dlp.sh <video_url>
#!/bin/bash
youtube_url="$1"
echo "Downloading video..."
video_info=$(yt-dlp -e -o "%(title)s" -- "$youtube_url")
sanitized_title=$(echo "$video_info" | sed 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9_.-]/_/g')
output_file="${sanitized_title}.mp4"
yt-dlp -o "temp.mp4" -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best' -- "$youtube_url"

How to passthrough SATA drives directly on VMWare ESXI 6.5 as RDMs

How to passthrough SATA drives directly on VMWare EXSI 6.5 as RDMs

There aren't many tutorials about this, the only tutorials I've found were about passing through entire PCIe cards to VMs, or refered to old ESXI versions (below 6.5) that used a more comprehensive desktop client instead of the web app. In v6.5, the web app was introduced and the desktop client was deprecated. You used to be able to setup RDMs in the desktop client, but with the introduction of the web console, this is no longer the case. This tutorial shows you how to pass SATA HDDs to the virtual machine on VMWare ESXI 6.5. This tutorial is partially based on VMWare's own KB and the now deprecated Forza IT blog post.

A word about VMWare ESXI 6.7

There is now an option while editing your VM's settings to add a New raw disk when you click `Add ha

cb - A leak-proof tee to the clipboard - Unify the copy and paste commands into one intelligent chainable command.

cb

A leak-proof tee to the clipboard

This script is modeled after tee (see [man tee][2]) and works on Linux, macOS, Cygwin, WSL/WSL2

It's like your normal copy and paste commands, but unified and able to sense when you want it to be chainable.

This project started as an answer to the StackOverflow question: [How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard?][3]

connect to meraki client vpn from strongswan (ubuntu 16.04 edition)

These are my notes for connecting to a meraki client vpn from ubuntu 16.04. This configuration assumes you are using a psk for the ipsec auth.

Install the following packages:

apt-get install -y strongswan xl2tpd

Configure strong swan

cloud-init "nocloud" networking setup

cloud-init is absolute cancer. Its code is horrible. It has no documentation at all.

It took me 5 fucking hours to figure out how to properly configure networking on recent cloud-init (Ubuntu 16.04 cloud image) with local datasource.

It's not mentioned anywhere you need to provide dsmode: local. (but only if you need network-config, besides that everything is fine; someone below noted that -m flag does the same thing, good to know) Of course nobody needs documentation for network-config format either. (cloudinit/net/__init__.py is a protip, enjoy the feces dive)

Oh, and by the way - no, it's not possible to provide network-config to uvt-kvm without patching shit.
