updatedb / locate on Mac

sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

Very fast editing over sshfs

Update: this can cause some of your ssh sessions to hang, so be aware of that.

Add this to your ~/.ssh/config

Host myserver.mydomain.com
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath /tmp/%r@%h:%p

Then, say you have root access via your ssh pub key

mkdir tmp001
sshfs -o uid=1000 root@myserver.mydomain.com:/var/www tmp001

Now, the files in tmp001 map to your remote /var/www directory. And access to them uses an ssh session that is maintained in your /tmp directory, i.e. all interactions are performed over the same ssh session.

To see the tmp file, if you just opened the sshfs session in the last 10 mins

find /tmp -mmin -10 -ls

Put stuff on your Nexus 4

1. apt-get install gmtp
2. Make sure your "Storage" is in MTP mode

P.S. Or, if you have access to a Mac: "Android File Transfer"

Find human-readable size of all files in a particular directory which have been modified in the last day and that are over 100 megs

1. find /var -mtime -1 -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \;
