PowerShell 4.0 is madly in love with “English (United States)”
A long time ago I started writing up my blog post like this in March 2015 when I bumped into this the first time when upgrading from PowerShell 2 to PowerShell 4:
Good and not so good news: after reading the below linked posts, this is what works:
PowerShell 4 and up works fine with any [Wayback] Lucida Console size (including 12) and boldness
only when the “Language for non-Unicode programs” is set to “English (United States)”.
PowerShell 4 works fine with [Wayback] Consolas on any size and boldness
for any “Language for non-Unicode programs”
So if you’re like me and switch between “Dutch (Netherlands)” and “English (Ireland)” a lot (both use the EURO as currency, but have distinct enough other locale settings to cover a lot of European stuff) then you need to get used to the Consolas font.
Recently I did my very first JavaScript in HTML development. Since it was a one page experiment, I didn’t want to put it in an official repository of it’s own…
Since quite a few commands that you regularly see mentioned on the web have been removed from OpenSuSE net-tools, I’ve created a few bash aliases in /etc/bash.bashrc.local below.

- ipmaddr and iptunnel are obsolete too, move them to subpackage.
(Superseded by `ip maddr` and `ip tunnel`)
- remove redundant %clean section

- Move arp, ifconfig, netstat and route to a -deprecated subpackage
(fate#317196, fate#317197)
- Drop the rarp tool, which has been broken since kernel 2.3
Using --resolve leverages all of the normal logic that applies, but simply pretends the DNS lookup returned the data in your command-line option. It works just like /etc/hosts should.
Note --resolve takes a port number, so for HTTPS you would use
Via the answer below I created the renew alias. I already had the first two aliases.
alias route-and-ipaddresses="netstat -nr | grep 'Internet\|Gateway\|default' && echo && ifconfig | grep '\: flags\|inet\|inet6' && echo more detailed info through ifconfig and netstat -nr"
alias whatismyip="curl http://whatismyip.akamai.com && echo"
alias renew_dhcp="sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP && echo waiting 10 seconds for DHCP lease to be obtained && sleep 10 && route-and-ipaddresses && whatismyip"
