Dieser Artikel beschreibt, wie man einen eigenen Mechanismus für DNS-Updates als DynDNS-Alternative aufbaut.
Translated:
This article describes how you can create your own mechanism for DNS-updates as alternative for DynDNS.
Interesting read: [WayBack] Eigenes DynDNS mit Bind und Apache – CupRacer.de
Edit
The above post disappeared, but this one (which adds calling the DynDNS server from a Fritz!Box) is still up: [WayBack] Eigener DynDNS mit Bind, Apache und PHP | onderka.com with an update at [WayBack] Eigener DynDNS mit dnsmasq, Apache und PHP | onderka.com.
Source code for both:

Via [WayBack] So I don’t forget: The following Linux command shows a list of all subdirectories that contain a least one .xml file… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+:
[WayBack]Find all subdirectories containing xml files on Linux command line
find . -type f -name '*.xml' | sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||' | sort | uniq
The sed bit is explained in [WayBack] Get list of subdirectories which contain a file matching a string:
The sed command consists of a single substitute. It looks for matches to the regular expression /[^/]+$ and replaces anything matching that with nothing. The dollar sign means the end of the line. [^/]+' means one or more characters that are not slashes. Thus, /[^/]+$ means all characters from the final slash to the end of the line. In other words, this matches the file name at the end of the full path. Thus, the sed command removes the file name, leaving unchanged the name of directory that the file was in.

This looks smart
gem update `gem list | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
From: [WayBack] How to Update All Your Ruby Gems At Once | Life, the Universe, and Everything
Though on the bash prompt, it works fine on Mac OS X / OS X / macOS / …, it does not work nice as an alias.
You can get it to work with difficult escaping (or nesting).
But it is easier to escape this:
gem update $(gem list | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
Escaped, it comes down to:
alias "gem-update-all=gem update \$(gem list | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"

I forgot about the announcement that Signal had also become available on the Desktop, but it is via [WayBack] https://signal.org/download/:
- Mac
- Windows
- Debian based x64 Linux:
$ curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
I like the mix of echo and tee to update the [WayBack] /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder with the signal-xenial.list file.
These links will always give you the latest download filename:
The files you get there will be relative to the path https://updates.signal.org/desktop/ so will be similar to:
You can get the sources at https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/releases

After blogging on Markdown notes in 2014, Markdown support has come a long way. It also means that the documents written in Markdown has become more complex, and that more tools can render it.
Given the vague aspects of many Markdown dialects, rendering can be troublesome (see my post Babelmark 2 online Markdown checker), so below are some links on some aspects I had trouble with getting right.
Note that there are two markdown linters:
Sometimes, issues are present in one, but not in the other; see:
The command line interface to the Ruby version is easier to install than the JavaScript version as everything is in one gem: mdl, unlike the npm, where the cli is in markdown-cli and the library in markdownlint.
