  for f in *; do mv "$f" "${f:1}"; done

==== Add 8 to filename: ====


  for f in *; do mv "$f" "8$f"; done

==== Sort folders by disk usage, larger first: ====
  du -sh /* | sort -hr

==== Checksum directory recursively ====

  find /var/lib/mysql -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha256sum > mysql.sha256sum

==== Comment and uncomment lines containing specific strings ====
  sed -e '/multiverse/s/^/#/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
  sed -e '/multiverse/s/^#//' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

  for file in $(grep -cr --include "*.html" "somestring" . | awk -F ":" '{print $1}');do sed -i 's/\bsomestring\b/newstring/g' $file;done
