Switching between AHCI and RAID on the Dell XPS 15 (9560)

This guide likely applies to other models and, potentially, even laptops from other OEMs that have NVME drives. However, I've only tested this on my Dell XPS 15 (9560) with the OEM Windows installation from the Signature Edition model.

Switching from RAID to AHCI

Switching from RAID to AHCI is significantly simpler than switching from AHCI to RAID. All that's needed is a successful boot to Safe Mode.

To set the default boot mode to Safe Mode, use msconfig.exe or open an admin cmd/PowerShell window and run:

Description

This is all of @sadserver's tweets packaged in a file ready to be converted into a .dat file for the fortune program.

Installing

Install fortune if your distro doesn't already have it.
Convert this into a fortune file run strfile -c % sadserver_tweets sadserver_tweets.dat
Copy the files into your fortune directory cp sadserver_tweets sadserver_tweets.dat /usr/local/share/games/fortunes. Note that I'm on OS X so the file path reflects that. Linux is going to be something like /usr/share/games/fortunes.
Add a line to your shell's profile/rc file. I.e. fortune sadserver_tweets
Laugh/cry when you log into your desktop/servers.

What is this all about?

This tutorial will turn your Raspberry PI into a simple Bluetooth audio receiver, which plays music through connected speakers. It's like a regular car audio system, but it can be used anywhere and it's a good value.

ffmpeg

Converting Audio into Different Formats / Sample Rates

Minimal example: transcode from MP3 to WMA:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 output.wma

You can get the list of supported formats with:
ffmpeg -formats

You can get the list of installed codecs with:

	# Backup
	docker exec CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root --password=root DATABASE > backup.sql

	# Restore
	cat backup.sql \| docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=root DATABASE

	#!/bin/sh
	#File for my debugging purposes
	echo $ACTION >> /tmp/mylog
	echo $INTERFACE >> /tmp/mylog
	echo "" >> /tmp/mylog

	-module(hello).

	-export([hello/1]).

	hello(robert) ->
	io:format("Hello, Mike.");
	hello(joe) ->
	io:format("Hello, Robert.");
	hello(mike) ->
	io:format("Hello, Joe.").

	#!/bin/sh
	# whenever you use "scp", use "copy" instead, it ignores duplicate files.

	rsync -azhe ssh --progress $1 $2
