We have a collaborating project between Norway, Moldova, Armenia and Belarus in Oral Pathology. In order to view slides online we installed a software called Cytomine. This software, or multiple combined software/applications, is developed in Belgium by a cooperating team. All about Cytomine can be read here: https://cytomine.coop/ This is an open source software.

Sometime yum update just breaks everything. We experienced this, and had to go backup to previous versions. In RHEL6 and RHEL7 you can run this command:
|
1 |
yum history list all |
which will give you a list of transactions ID’s. Now you just need to figure out how far you want to go back in the history, and do […]
If you have several files that need to be converted to utf8, you can do it with vim. First start vim with:

$ vim $(find . -type f -iname '*.htm*') |
Which will find all .htm and .html files from the current directory. Then in vim, use : to go into command mode. Run these two commands: :set nomore :bufdo set fileencoding=utf8 | […]
You can use the bash command “curl” to read your imap emails like this:
|
1 |
curl --url "imaps://imapserver.somewhere.net" --user "username:password" |
Note: your password will be visible on the command line, so don’t use this on a public server. So it is actually better to create a file, for instance called secret, then write your password in it, and protect it […]

I needed to get some quick random numbers that would represent a time on the form HH:SS. In my case the time should be between 10:00 and 12:55. I did this in bash with:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
#!/bin/bash # If the random number is 1, then LAST-number is set to 0. # Else it would be set to 5. if [ $(( $RANDOM % 2 )) -eq 1 ];then LAST=0 else LAST=5 fi # Print a number between 10 or 12, # then a semicolon, then a number between 0-5, # and finally either 0 or 5. echo "0"$(( $RANDOM % 2 + 10 ))":"$(( $RANDOM % 6 ))$LAST |
