       What was on top of your (or your parents or grandparents) old large wood cabinet TVs back in the day? Let's say in 1982.

       Take time to try new things, but keep time for the people that matter in your life.

       Use ip's stats (-s) and json output (-j) options with the jq command to parse the received byte count on your wireguard wg0 interface:ip -s -j addr show dev wg0 | jq '.[].stats64.rx.bytes'

       The new Amazon style looks like the classic Slashdot style and it's freaking me out.

       If you have a large XML file that is all on one line and you need to make minor changes to it, many popular and even robust editors will choke on the line length, even with syntax highlighting turned off. One solution is to use a binary/hex editor like 'bvi':bvi data.xml

       I think this command (not mine) is just so elegant. It's for generating both the private key and the public key for a Wireguard tunnel in one go.wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

       Please tell me again why we should all be using the same operating system everywhere.  And while we're at it, centralized DNS services.

       Firefox users can make SQL queries against their history database using sqlite3. Just shut down Firefox first. This will find top level URLs you've visited.sqlite3 places.sqlite "SELECT url FROM moz_places WHERE substr(url,-1,1)=='/'  AND length(url)-length(replace(url,'/',''))<4;"

       Are you using *nix user's disk usage quotas anywhere that would require use of the "quota" or "edquota" commands?

       I ran this yesterday to solve a CTF. It should have been called a WTF.xxd -r data.txt | gzip -cd | bzip2 -cd | gzip -cd | tar x -O | tar x -O | bzip2 -cd | tar x -O | gzip -cd

       It's funny how humans complain about AI hallucinations when humans make shit up all the time.
