Sometimes the Everything search tool gets out of sync with the actual contents on disk, so this tip from [WayBack] Everything 1.3.1.636b does not “refresh” – voidtools forum will rescan all volumes and update the database:
To rebuild the Everything database:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Indexes tab.
- Click Force Rebuild.
If that fails, you can always remove/add the volumes:

[WayBack] Is there a way to increase the rate at which Gmail fetches mail from another account? – Web Applications Stack Exchange got a nice follow-up on Twitter:
This is way better than suggestions from the past: increase the frequency in which email arrives at the POP3 account.

[WayBack] bash – How to get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow (thanks [WayBack] Collin Anderson!):
I tried on OS X 10.13.6 (macOS High Sierra) and these two work fine:
ip route get 1 | awk '{print $NF;exit}'
and
ip route get 8.8.8.8 | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f8
The first one needs the $ back-slash escaped as bash alias; the second does not need that.

[WayBack] Thread by @b0rk: “nmap i haven’t used nmap much except to scan my home network for fun so if i missed something really important i’d love to know! […]”
i haven’t used nmap much except to scan my home network for fun so if i missed something really important i’d love to know!also i need to find space in there somewhere for “if you don’t run nmap as root it can’t send icmp (ping) packets, it’s better to run nmap as root”
also be careful when nmapping in a network you don’t administer! it’s a popular hacking tool so using nmap is often discouraged / banned. i made all of the examples in this comic “
nmap scanme.nmap.org” and “nmap your home network” for a reason :)
There are are quite a few interesting comments on the thread:
And it taught me about scanme.nmap.org: [WayBack] Go ahead and ScanMe!
Hello, and welcome to Scanme.Nmap.Org, a service provided by the Nmap Security Scanner Project and Insecure.Org.
We set up this machine to help folks learn about Nmap and also to test and make sure that their Nmap installation (or Internet connection) is working properly. You are authorized to scan this machine with Nmap or other port scanners. Try not to hammer on the server too hard. A few scans in a day is fine, but dont scan 100 times a day or use this site to test your ssh brute-force password cracking tool.
Thanks

Sometimes I forget the choco install mnemonics for various tools, so here is a small list below.
Of course you have to start with an administrative command prompt, and have a basic Chocolatey Installation in place.
If you want to clean cruft:
choco install --yes choco-cleaner
Basic install:
choco install --yes 7zip choco install --yes everything choco install --yes notepadplusplus choco install --yes beyondcompare choco install --yes git.install --params "/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoGitLfs /SChannel /NoAutoCrlf /WindowsTerminal" choco install --yes hg choco install --yes sourcetree choco install --yes sysinternals
For VMs (pic one):
choco install --yes vmware-tools choco install --yes virtio-drivers
For browsing (not sure yet about Chrome as that one has a non-admin installer as well):
choco install --yes firefox
For file transfer (though be aware that some versions of Filezilla contained adware):
choco install --yes filezilla choco install --yes winscp
For coding:
choco install --yes vscode choco install --yes atom
For SQL server:
choco install --yes sql-server-management-studio
For web development / power user:
choco install --yes fiddler
For SOAP and REST:
choco install --yes soapui
If you don’t like manually downloading SequoiaView at gist.github.com/jpluimers/b0df9c2dba49010454ca6df406bc5f3d (e8efd031d667de8a1808d6ea73548d77949e7864.zip):
choco install --yes windirstat
For drawing, image manipulation (paint.net last, as it needs a UI action):
choco install --yes gimp choco install --yes imagemagick choco install --yes paint.net
For ISO image mounting in pre Windows 10:
choco install --yes wincdemu
For hard disk management:
choco install --yes hdtune choco install --yes seatools choco install --yes speedfan
For Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners (not sure yet this includes PDF support):
