Preparation

In open Ubuntu 18.04 machine click Parallels Actions -> "Install Parallels Tools"
A "Parallels Tools" CD will popup on your Ubuntu desktop.
Open it by double mouse click, copy all the content to a new, empty directory on a desktop, name it for e.g. "parallels_fixed"
Open terminal, change directory to parallels_fixed (cd ~/Desktop/parallels_fixed)
Make command line installer executable (chmod +x install)
Change directory to "installer" (cd installer)
Make few other scripts executable: chmod +x installer.* *.sh prl_*

Scenario:

multiple USB devices plugged via hub to a host (Linux OS based),
multiple services/programs interacting with TTY running on top (e.g. GPSd)

Problem:

At boot TTY are randomly assigned to devices causing depending services/programs instabilities. They could indeed fail to start because of different TTY configurations.

Solution:

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2025-03-24: Commenting is disabled permanently. Previous comments are archived at web.archive.org. ]

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

Go to the remote repo and delete outdated branches
Then either:
- Locally cleanup only merged branches: git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d

Locally remove fetched, outdated branches: git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short) %(upstream)' refs/heads/ | awk '$2 !~/^refs\/remotes/' | xargs git branch -D”

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

Here's my setup:

Home server running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-93-generic x86_64)
Plex Media Server debian package running on server
Netgear Nighthawk R6900 home router
Dynamic hostname from no-ip.org, which I'll use for this setup
