A friendly reminder that if you need to sort IP addresses in numerical order by octet, you can use sort -V, which is intended to sort software versions…but works just as well for IP addresses.

But some commands, programs, applications, or whatever you want to call them are just plain unneeded for me. I've found five such commands. I haven't spent the time to trace their origins because that would be a huge time vacuum that I can't afford. So, here they are in all their glory—the five commands on my system that I've found I never use. They are in alphabetical order.

ccat is the colorizing cat. It works similar to the cat command but displays content with syntax highlighting. It supports JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Python, Go, C, and JSON programming languages. The overhead of ccat command comparing to a cat is minimum on a modern desktop with powerful multi-core CPUs and tons of RAM.

Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive.

Want to make your Linux desktop lit? You need aafire. It is a terminal-based utility that starts an ASCII art fire right inside your terminal. Although you won't physically feel the heat aafire brings to the table, it's definitely a "cool" Linux program to have on your system.

PolKit, which provides methods for nonprivileged processes to interact with privileged ones, has been assigned CVE-2021-4034 and dubbed “PwnKit.”

PolKit 🇬🇧 (oder in der langen Form: PolicyKit) ist ein im Hintergrund laufender Dienst, der es erlaubt, Berechtigung für die Nutzung von Systemkomponenten und Software festzulegen.

So kann mittels PolKit z.B. festgelegt werden, dass beim Aufruf eines Programms nach dem Passwort eines Nutzer mit Root-Rechten gefragt wird, auch wenn das Programm nicht mittels sudo oder pkexec gestartet wurde. PolKit ist auch in Werkzeuge der Systemverwaltung von GNOME integriert. Dies ist daran zu erkennen, dass bei vielen Anwendungen nicht mehr das Root-Passwort beim Start der Anwendung abgefragt wird, sondern dass die Anwendung durch einen

This article explains the role of the X Window System when it was first developed in the 1980s, and today. I highlight three advanced traits:

X was highly portable, so that applications written for X could run on virtually any Unix system, on BSD, on GNU/Linux, and on the Mac.
X allowed distributed computing. You could run graphical applications hosted on another computer, displaying them on your local desktop.
X was customizable to an almost limitless extent. This made X a platform for sophisticated interfaces such as KDE and GNOME.

Here are 11 Linux commands that one sysadmin cannot live without.

Did you know there is a Linux package you can install that is actually called "HOLLYWOOD" and that is designed to simply LOOK COOL ON SCREEN? (I've already spotted it on at least one major news site this cycle)
