A bunch of robocopy flags to help backup an external drive.
robocopy /b /e /xa:s /xjd /sl /a-:hs /mt /v /fp /eta /log:"D:\To\Directory\transfer.log" /tee "C:\From\Directory" "D:\To\Directory"
(Note that the paths don't have a trailing backslash.)
/b -- backup mode (there's a /zb option for restart mode, but it's a whole lot slower)
/e -- copies subdirectories (including empty directories) in addition to files
/xa:s -- exclude system files
/xjd -- exclude junction points
/sl -- copy symbolic links as links
/a-:hs -- remove hidden/system attributes from files
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# Create display override file to force Mac OS X to use RGB mode for Display

When Time Machine asks you to delete your backups and start over, ignore it. Run this and then start a backup again.
#!/bin/bash -x
# Generally based on ideas found at:
# http://www.garth.org/archives/2011,08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-based-backup-errors.html
#
# Reduced the ideas there down to their essentials.
# 1. Unlock the image.
# 2. Reset the saved failure in the backup metadata.
# 3. Verify/fix the filesystem.

DeadUpdate: Kickin' it bigtime.

... my first disclosure. Man, it feels weird doing this.

update 6/6/16 I would like to stress something: I'm not saying "Don't buy an ASUS device" -- I see a lot of people who want to lambaste ASUS for this and boycott their hardware. This isn't what I want people to be doing by any stretch. Stupidly, I like the ASUS hardware I have (it's nice for the price) and I would rather see a pressure on ASUS as an OEM to stop shipping "value added software" to consumers; If you want to help Microsoft in pushing this mentality, go buy a signature machine from them. Microsoft provides support, but also only ships windows and a few select utilities that are essential to the functioning of the system (think: Radeon/Optimus and nVidia control panels) and fall heavily on the hardware makers (ATI, nVidia, Intel) to provide support for the harware.

Consider an ASUS device all you want. Start putting pressure on Microsoft that consumers want bloat-free devices and start voting with your money. Microsoft's store

macOS Mojave dynamic background re-implement as GTK+ background slideshow. Background images are changed to reflect the time of the day.
<!-- Instructions:
- Download and unzip Mojave dynamic background here: https://files.rb.gd/mojave_dynamic.zip
- Rename the extracted folder as "mojave-background" (Excuse the trouble but I renamed it on my machine and already use that path in the XML file)
- Save this xml file next to the Mojave background files
- Fix the path to the background images below (better using absolute path)
- Lastly, either:
+ GNOME: Use gnome-tweaks tool to select this XML as wallpaper (as default wallpaper settings won't let you choose wallpaper from custom path)
+ MATE: Go to background setting (in Appearance) > Choose +Add... > make sure **All files** filter is selected at the bottom right > Then choose mojave.xml

Reproducing CrystalDiskMark tests with fio - fixes for https://unix.stackexchange.com/revisions/480191/9
#!/bin/bash
# This script is based on https://unix.stackexchange.com/revisions/480191/9 .
# The following changes proved to be necessary to make it work on CentOS 7:
# * removed disk info (model, size) - not very useful, might not work in many cases.
# * using "bw" instead of "bw_bytes" to support fio version 3.1 (those availible through yum @base)
# * escaping exclamation mark in sed command
# * the ".fiomark.txt" is not auto-removed
LOOPS=5 #How many times to run each test

Terminological Note

"OpenPGP" refers to the OpenPGP protocol, in much the same way that HTML refers to the protocol that specifies how to write a web page. "GnuPG", "SequoiaPGP", "OpenPGP.js", and others are implementations of the OpenPGP protocol in the same way that Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, and Microsoft Edge refer to software packages that process HTML data.
