I somehow always seem to forget how to do this the simple way:
chmod -R ug+rw /yourfolderThis will change yourfolder permissions to 775 and all folders inside recursively to 775, but all files in the folder(s) will be set to 664.
How to fix corrupt packet error for with rsync for large files
In order to have local copies of my web pages hosted on VPS I have configured rsync cronjob to sync everything during the night to my local box.

How to additionally clean-up Kodi MySQL database from unwanted entries
If you are like me using Kodi (XBMC) library to manage all your multimedia files you are probably used to updating and cleaning your library after adding or deleting new files.

Join several video files with VLC without transcoding
I was looking for most simple way to join several video clips into one larger clip without installing additional packages on my Debian laptop.
Most simple way I found was using command like this:
vlc 18M00S.mp4 19M00S.mp4 20M00S.mp4 21M00S.mp4 --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=all.mp4}" --sout-keepWhere “18M00S.mp4“, “19M00S.mp4“, “20M00S.mp4” and “21M00S.mp4” are my clips that will be joined in a file “all.mp4” in the same folder.
You can change output filetype with adding for example “mux=ts” in –sout “#gather:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=all.mp4}“, but this was not needed in my case.
