extract AAC audio from flv, and convert aac to mp3 using ffmpeg
# using libfaac on Mac OS X 10.6.8
# -vn : not copying video
# -acodec : specify codec used in flv file
# -ac : channels. 1 is for mono, 2 is for stereo
# -ab : specify bitrate for output file (note that rate is not kbps but bps)
# -ar : sampling frequency (Hz)
# -threads: number of threads for encoding
# "-strict experimental" is necessary to use libfaac
ffmpeg -y -i xxxxxxxxxxx.flv -vn -acodec aac -ac 2 -ab 128000 -ar 44100 -threads 4 -strict experimental xxxxx.m4a

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

How effectively delete a git submodule.

To remove a submodule you need to:

  • Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
  • Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
  • Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
  • Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
  • Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Use wget to snapshot a page and its necessary visual dependencies

Use wget to mirror a single page and its visible dependencies (images, styles)

Money graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search

Graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search (flair.myfloridacfo.com)

This is a quick command I use to snapshot webpages that have a fun image I want to keep for my own collection of WTFViz. Why not just right-click and save the image? Oftentimes, the webpage in which the image is embedded contains necessary context, such as captions and links to important documentation just incase you forget what exactly that fun graphic was trying to explain.
