A few days ago I had to "sudo apt clean" my local cache to uninstall a bad package, but I needed to recover my cache, with the installed packages, since I work often in offline places, so that I can recover from a broken system without an active Internet connection.
So to be able to recover, or better, rebuild (or re-cache) your packages to your local storage (ie HDD or SSD) that usually is located at: /var/cache/apt/archives we have to do this:
1) get the installed package names:
dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | awk ' {print $2} ' > pkg_names.txt
2) get the installed package versions:
dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | awk ' {print $3} ' > pkg_version.txt
3) combine all package names and versions:
paste -d"=" pkg_names.txt pkg_version.txt > pkg_combine.txt
4) now download packages to cache:
cat pkg_combine.txt | xargs sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall --download-only
REF:
dpkg -l | grep "^ii"| awk ' {print $2} ' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall --download-only
dpkg -s firefox | grep Version | awk ' {print $2} '
sudo apt-get install package=version
Todo:
Timeout each line to avoid long loops (when source is dead or pkg not available at repository)

List total hits of iptable drops
I have been busy making and studying defense strategies to better implement and monitor my firewall system.
So after you have decided to insert DROP rules in your iptables, it is a good practice to check the statistics of how efficient the additional "load" has been to your overall performance, that is, is it effective or should you leave it for fail2ban to control the hits ?
I made a bash script to summaries the hits on iptables rules to avoid all the stdout that obfuscates the important information.
As usually sad, use at your own risk. Make a backup plan before proceeding.
#!/bin/bash
#
# check how many hits on iptables drop rule
# by braselectron.com OCT 16, 2019
#
# iptables formated output example needed:
# '0 0 DROP all -- any any 47.203.94.77 anywhere'
#
# so now clear and fix the spaces on the output
#
readarray iptls <<< "$(sudo iptables -vnL | grep DROP |\
sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/ / /g' |\
sed 's/^ //g')"
#
# debug point
# echo "iptls lenght is ${#iptls[@]}"
#
echo -e "Hits\tTarget Denied"
for element in "${iptls[@]}"
do
#
# debug point
# echo "> $element"
#
verify=( $(echo "$element" | cut -d " " -f 1) )
#
# debug point
# echo "verify = $verify"
#
if [ "$verify" -ne "0" ]; then
hits="$verify"
target=( $(echo "$element" | cut -d " " -f 8) )
echo -e "$hits\t$target"
fi
done

#

#
# debug point

#
if [ "$verify" -ne "0" ]; then
hits="$verify"
target=( $(echo "$element" | cut -d " " -f 8) )
echo -e "$hits\t$target"
fi
done
If all goes well you will get a output similar to this:
Hits Target Denied
1 198.108.66.0/23
4 92.118.161.0/24
3 92.118.160.0/24
1 74.82.47.0/24
1 185.173.35.0/24
1 71.6.128.0/17
2 122.228.0.0/16
4 95.154.101.209
1131 139.59.13.150
1 198.108.66.0/23
4 92.118.161.0/24
3 92.118.160.0/24
1 74.82.47.0/24
1 185.173.35.0/24
1 71.6.128.0/17
2 122.228.0.0/16
4 95.154.101.209
1131 139.59.13.150
But this is based on my active iptables rules.
Shields up captain!
Cheers!
How to fix id3tag of mp3 files
Preliminary notes:
Basic knowledge:
See http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames for allowed picture types.
Examples:
On the next part you must change the input, out.mp3 and cover.png to your own fit.
1) Write an mp3 with an ID3v2.3 header and an ID3v1 footer:
2) To attach a picture to an mp3 file select both the audio and the picture stream with map:
3) Write a "clean" MP3 without any extra features:
Let's get work done:
So this is what I did to add a cover image to a mp3 that already had id3tags:
Other thoughts:
After it runs you will have a sub-folder with the new mp3 files all with the embedded cover image you inserted with the script.
Have fun! Cheers!
This post is the sum of many hours of researching the web for solutions, reading for many hours: man, info and community pages. And a lot of testing.
This is a solution for Linux users (probably also good for MacOS too). MS Windows user, sorry, you need to contact MS support for help.
Part of the following is cut/past form other sources I found on the web. Thank you for the active community of Linux users like me.
As usually noted, the following is for sharing knowledge only, do it at your own risk! Make a backup plan before proceeding.
Basic knowledge:
Libavformat (lavf) is a library for dealing with various media container formats. Its main two purposes are demuxing - i.e. splitting a media file into
component streams, and the reverse process of muxing - writing supplied
data in a specified container format.
The MP3 muxer writes a raw MP3 stream with the following optional features:
An ID3v2 metadata header at the beginning (enabled by default). Versions 2.3 and 2.4 are supported, the id3v2_version private option controls which one is used (3 or 4).
Setting id3v2_version to "0" disables the ID3v2 header completely.
The muxer usually support writing attached pictures (APIC frames) to the ID3v2 header. The pictures are supplied to the muxer in form of a video stream with a single packet. There can be any number of those streams, each will correspond to a single APIC frame. The stream metadata tags title and comment map to APIC description and picture type respectively.
See http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames for allowed picture types.
Note that the APIC frames must be written at the beginning, so the muxer will buffer the audio frames until it gets all the pictures. It is therefore advised to provide the pictures as soon as possible to avoid excessive buffering. Also keep picture small (ie. less than 1% of total mp3 size is a good rule/target to follow).
A Xing/LAME frame right after the ID3v2 header (if present). It is enabled by default, but will be written only if the output is seekable. The write_xing private option can be used to disable it. The frame contains various information that may be useful to the decoder, like the audio duration or encoder delay.
A legacy ID3v1 tag at the end of the file (disabled by default). It may be enabled with the write_id3v1 private option, but as its capabilities are very limited, its usage is not recommended. This is important for old mp3 players that only understand ID3v1 tags.
Examples:
On the next part you must change the input, out.mp3 and cover.png to your own fit.
1) Write an mp3 with an ID3v2.3 header and an ID3v1 footer:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 out.mp3
2) To attach a picture to an mp3 file select both the audio and the picture stream with map:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -i cover.png -c copy -map 0 -map 1 \
-metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" out.mp3
-metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" out.mp3
3) Write a "clean" MP3 without any extra features:
ffmpeg -i input.wav -write_xing 0 -id3v2_version 0 out.mp3
Let's get work done:
So this is what I did to add a cover image to a mp3 that already had id3tags:
ffmpeg -i orignal.mp3 -i cover.jpg -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c copy -id3v2_version 3 -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" final.mp3
Other thoughts:
I did use a jpeg image for the cover and ffmpeg accepted it as well as vlc, mpv and other players I tested did work fine.
So if you need to include the same cover on many files (ie an album) in a folder, you can do this:
1) "cd" to the target folder
2) "mkdir new" in the target folder
3) rename the cover image file to cover.<ext> where <ext> could be png or jpg depends on your choice and particular case, or convert it to jpg.
3) then copy and past the following script (and hit the [ENTER] key):
