Grepping disk usage for biggest folders

Finding where was free space gone and who that guy that should be cleared on a server can be a challenge
Unix as I know has no usable UI tools for that, but there is a console that has power.
How to find folders for cleanup on Unix/Linux/Ubuntu?
Here is a command for grepping folders/files that has Gigabytes of size

du -c -h | grep -P "G\t"

The same for Megabytes as well, but I guess not so usable at admin level, mostly good for user folders.

du -c -h | grep -P "M\t"

And here is a sample output for the first command



How to create dosboot image for grub for updating bios

I always having the issues during updating bios under linux/ubuntu.

All bios updaters developed by vendors for processing under DOS/Windows, but very small amount of them have thoughts about linux users.
I have written article about using flashrom application for updating bios in ubuntu/linux(in ukrainian), but it is not universal and has limited support of devices.

Here I want to share ability to have boot image item in grub with freedos installed for making possible boot into and update bios for Your mobo.

MYSQL fix duplicates saving duplicated data with new id

DROP PROCEDURE `max_wid`;
DELIMITER ;;
CREATE PROCEDURE `max_wid` (OUT `y` int)
SQL SECURITY INVOKER
BEGIN
SELECT MAX(wid) into y from works;
END;;
DELIMITER ;
DELIMITER ;;
CREATE PROCEDURE `first_dup` (OUT `t` int)
SQL SECURITY INVOKER
BEGIN
SELECT wid into t FROM works GROUP BY wid HAVING ( COUNT(wid) > 1 ) LIMIT 0,1;
END;;
DELIMITER ;

The procedure itself - finding first duplicated data - and updating it to maximum possible id
After running this code till ZERO duplicates just create unique Primary key for Your table
