The list of actions listed below was taken mostly from Book Of Zeus with minor modifications and did the job well for Ubuntu version, which was available at that moment (May 2016).

Encoding Video

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

 Remuxing

Why Remux Blu-rays?
-You use MPC-HC (or similar DShow players) and standard filters for playback. You can also use better quality renderers like Haali, EVR and madVR.
-You get the ease of playback of a re-encode without the quality loss. A double click off the .mkv will start the movie - no annoying warnings, loading screens, previews and setup menus.
-You don't have to deal with horribly bloated, unstable and expensive PowerDVD or Arcsoft playback software.
-You don't have to mess with ISO creation, correct BD folder structure, UDF and SPTD drivers, and image mounting every time you want to watch a movie.
-You never have to worry about the region code setting of a disc.
-You never have to worry about HDCP or PAP content protection.
-You never have to worry about your software player downsampling your audio - get full bit-depth and frequency resolution, 24bit/96kHz or higher, not 16/48.

# ssh(1) obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following order:
#
#       1.   command-line options
#       2.   user's configuration file (~/.ssh/config)
#       3.   system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config)
#
# For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used.  The configuration files contain sections separated
# by “Host” specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that match one of the patterns given in the
# specification.  The matched host name is the one given on the command line.
