Reminder: install mosh and get it working when it runs behind a firewall.
Mobile shell that supports roaming and intelligent local echo. Like SSH secure shell, but allows mobility and more responsive and robust.

Then see how well it stacks up against or complements with the ssh/tmux combo.

Last friday I updated the examples at *nix networking – lsof: How to tell what process has a specific port open on Linux (via: Server Fault) as I needed to document some of the machines around here (so it becomes easier replacing them).
I also added some links to background information and (when I get to using it: OS X still goes without) a good iproute2 starter page.

I was on the road last monday, so I missed this crash, but the good news is that Beyond Compare Technical Support indicates the upcoming v 4.1.4 will fix that for the future.
Cases like these are hard to find and fix a priori as you cannot force the cloud services to run faking a certain date…
Update (somehow my browser cache didn’t see this page when posting): the update was already out; see the change log at Download Beyond Compare which lists a lot of nice other things as well (including a way to force 32-bit installation on x64 windows versions when some of your other tooling cannot cope with x64 DLLs).

So my ScanSnap ix500 has a box too (actually a Leitz Rotho Profiline 10 Schübe drawer). The ix500 scans double sided and takes like 2 seconds per sheet. Works through WiFi (or USB) on both PC and Mac.
This is the process:
- I scan and roughly sort the document by destination in a drawer.
- A Windows VM creates OCR PDF and puts them into the cloud.
- It gets synced to my Macs, where spotlight indexes them by content.
- Once a month I split off the parts for my bookkeeper, file important non bookkeeping stuff and shred the rest.
- I name files on a selective base (as spotlight is very good at finding the rest).
This is why I like it over scanning with your mobile phone any time:
My ix500 setup just works.
Now I need to optimise the S510 scanned files. Maybe linux – optimize PDF files (with Ghostscript or other) – Stack Overflow (from the same thread) works.

I know, old knowledge, but I only recently added the below batch files to file collection.
Why? Because since a few Windows versions, the System process uses port 80 because IIS is installed by default in many configurations. And recently I had to do quote a bit of http communication work against a local machine outside the IIS realm.
windows 7 – Why is System process listening on Port 80? – Super User.
Stop IIS:

:isNotAdmin
:getPrivileges
echo You need to be admin running with an elevated security token to run %0
goto :exit

:gotPrivileges
:: net stop w3svc

iisreset /stop

Too bad the accepted answer forgets about deleted files.
Use one of these to compare (but not sync) two directory trees.
For size-only comparision:
rsync -n -avr --size-only --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/
If you want to compare both contents and size:
rsync -n -avrc --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/

via: diff – compare files in two directory on remote server using unix – Stack Overflow.
