Now there is http://nic.box/ for the new [WayBack] box top level domain and AVM does not yet have the pre-registered fritz.box there effectuated (because .box is not in final registration state yet).

Schlechte Nachrichten für Fritz!box User: http://nic.box/ Euer http://fritz.box ist nicht mehr das, was es sein sollte.
EDIT: Muahahaha
kris@h1755802:~> host fritz.box
fritz.box has address 127.0.53.53
fritz.box mail is handled by 10 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.box.
The joke is in the cryptic “your-dns-needs-immediate-attention” and usage of 127.0.53.53. to indicate a gTLD name collision.
Chrome knows about ICANN though and explains it in a slightly more readable form when browsing to http://fritz.box (:

You need this statement to unpack an rpm file on Mac OS X without having rpm installed:
rpm2cpio ##filename.rpm## | cpio -idmv
This will make rpm2cpio unpack the rpm file in the current directory using these cpio options:
stderrcpio is already part of the Mac OS X system.
You can get rpm2cpio through homebrew by typing brew install rpm2cpio which will likely also download he xz dependency.

I wrote about disabling Castalia before. This is yet another reason why I disabled it: on a fresh install it will throw errors at startup like this one in XE8: [WayBack] http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=139278

Security always has the human factor involved which means that we screw up like here:
Source: [WayBack] If you are a KDE neon user, reinstall your distro now! | CIO
A little blunder was committed by the core developers that made the entire archive insecure:
“Best practice when setting that up is to use the trusted SSH protocol to open a tunnel and upload through that,” said Riddell, “Unfortunately in setting up that new archive I had it listening for uploads on the whole network not just the local SSH tunnel.”

In networks, often you want to know which manufacturer or vendor is behind a MAC address.
An easy way to look this up on-line is by using the
Wireshark · OUI Lookup Tool which should have had MAC or MAC address in the title.
It uses both the extensive /etc/manuf Wireshark Ethernet vendor codes and well-known MAC address prefixes (which is a long text file generated from several sources). Some of the prefixes are just the 24-bit (6-hex digit) OUIs, but others are much more fine grained.
What’s really cool is that the tool accepts a very lenient formatting of inputs: full, partial, various hex separators (including none), case insensitive, and vendor names/abbreviations. So entries like these magically work.

I just discovered the versioning common sense I’ve used for decades actually has a name. It’s even a “standard”!
Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 Summary
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
- PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
I discovered it via:

In my alias list:
alias "tmux-attach-or-create-main-session=tmux new-session -A -s main"
Via User Wesley Baugh – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange who answered:
If naming your session is okay, then it’s easy to do with the new-session command:
tmux new-session -A -s mainwhere
mainis the session name that will be attached to or created if needed.From
man tmuxThe -A flag makes new-session behave like attach-session if session-name already exists; in this case, -D behaves like -d to attach-session.

Hopefully this was a one time oversight from Apple, but on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) the Xcode command-line tools cannot be installed from the Xcode Preferences pane.
You have to install them from the command-line:
xcode-select --install
There is one catch though: it might fail as you first have to start Xcode once and accept the license agreement.
You need them for instance when playing with zlib-devel (for instance when creating your own openssl builds).
