openssl passwd -apr1

Enter password you want twice when prompted, it will generate an apr1 encrypted password

Add:

username:$apr1encryptedpassword

vi /etc/nginx/htpasswd

service nginx restart

SCOTR074:$apr1$MlStQ7sB$j0KTSvgtCaNPUeSrkZBas/

Sorting out connection resets:

tcpdump -nn -v 'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-rst) != 0'

or

tcpdump -ilo -nn -v 'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-rst) != 0'

-n is to stop resolving DNS names

-nn is to stop resolving DNS names AND port numbers to names

This is really useful when an app is logging connection resets, but not telling you what it is trying to connect to in the first place.

Start with list.txt like:

server7858   server7858   server7858   server7858   server7861   server7860   server8310   server8310   server7863   server8311

server7859   server7859   server7859   server7859   server8781   server8676   server8677   server8677   server8679   server8782

Which has duplicates and long lines and crap. Run this:

rm list2.txt

rm list3.txt

for word in `cat list.txt`; do echo $word ; done |sort |uniq >> list2.txt

sed -ibak -e 's/ //g' list2.txt

cat list2.txt |sort|uniq > list3.txt

vi list3.txt

ta da!

if you need word counts and such, pipe it through wc before running uniq

more metadata, this one is hard to find:

bash

list

word

parse

parsing

text

columns

sorting

collapse

words

shell

script

split

line

lines

grep

sudo cp /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1 /usr/share/code/ libxcb.so.1

cd  /usr/share/code/

sudo sed -ibak -e 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/g'  libxcb.so.1

Had the exact same problem with Atom and this worked for that too.
