(NB: adapted from this Ask Ubuntu thread -- tested to work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS through Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy).

Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.

TL;DR

Install open-vm-tools and run:

sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

Symmetic encryption

For symmetic encryption, you can use the following:

To encrypt:

openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -a -e -in plaintext.txt -out encrypted.txt

To decrypt:

pthis

# Compress and encrypt all current subfolders on Windows
FOR /D %%X IN (*) DO "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -mhe -pMYPASSWORD "%%X.7z" "%%X"

.gitkeep

A .gitkeep file tells github to do the opposite of its default behaviour, which is to ignore empty folders.

If you want to track an empty folder, or a folder with untracked files, create a 0kb file with the .gitkeep file extension in that folder.

touch FOLDER_NAME/.gitkeep

pthis

#!/bin/bash

# All these options work on bash 3.2 on macOS where 'readlink -f' is not available

# Ref http://stackoverflow.com/a/246128

# 1. Get script path, don't canonicalise symlinks used in script path

# ${BASH_SOURCE[0]} is set but includes './' prefix
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" 2>/dev/null)" && pwd 2>/dev/null)"

Proxmox with LVM-thin and why we should use Trim/Discard

Excerpts from the Proxmox VE Administration Guide]

LVM normally allocates blocks when you create a volume. LVM thin pools instead allocates blocks when they are written. This behaviour is called thin-provisioning, because volumes can be much larger than physically available space.

8.10.2. Trim/Discard It is good practice to run fstrim (discard) regularly on VMs and containers. This releases data blocks that the filesystem isn’t using anymore. It reduces data usage and resource load. Most modern operating systems issue such discard commands to their disks regularly. You only need to ensure that the Virtual Machines enable the disk discard option.
