You can capture network packets on a Fritz!Box for any interface by:
- appending `/html/capture.html` to the IP address of your Fritz!Box
- providing your credentials
- for ISDN traces optionally entering any
dtrace parameters in the edit box
- pressing the Start button for the port you want to capture
- pressing the Stop button when you are finished capturing
Example URL: 192.168.178.1/html/capture.html
Note it’s ISDN [WayBack] Dtrace – Fritz!Box, not nx kernel [WayBack] DTrace – Wikipedia
I’ve seen this on these devices:
- Fritz!Box 7360 running FRITZ!OS 06.30
- Fritz!Box 7490 running FRITZ!OS: 06.83
Note there are tons of tools allowing to capture from various scripting languages:

I was shocked reading [WayBack] An alternative to Session Buddy: “Tabs Backup & Restore” · Issue #742 · deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender · GitHub: the save frequency is about 1 per browser restart. Which is quite odd when you use it to protect against tabs messing up (it happens, right when you do not expect it, after which a “Restore” by chrome fails too).
So after years of using
[Archive.is] Session Buddy – Chrome Web Store: Manage Browser Tabs and Bookmarks with Ease
I have switched away to
[WayBack] Tabs Backup & Restore – Chrome Web Store: With ‘Tabs Backup & Restore’ you will never lose your work again! Backup an entire Chrome session (windows and tabs).

[WayBack] pure-bash-bible/README.md at master · dylanaraps/pure-bash-bible · GitHub:

The goal of this book is to document known and unknown methods of doing various tasks using only built-in bash features. Using the snippets from this bible can help remove unneeded dependencies from scripts and in most cases make them faster. I came across these tips and discovered a few while developing neofetch, pxltrm and other smaller projects.
The snippets below are linted using shellcheck and tests have been written where applicable. Want to contribute? Read the CONTRIBUTING.md. It outlines how the unit tests work and what is required when adding snippets to the bible.
See something incorrectly described, buggy or outright wrong? Open an issue or send a pull request. If the bible is missing something, open an issue and a solution will be found.

TJoe’s personal favorite in form, function, and simplicity.
Joe Heche is completely right:
- Just look at the plane.
- Then try to imagine how far it will go.
- Now watch the video below.
- Then compare it to how to build the longest flying paper plane building videos and flight videos after that.
Isn’t the one on the right brilliant?

Thanks Joe!

I wrote about Vysor before, but totally forgot to mention that for like 2 years there have been (initially beta) standalone versions of Vysor based on the Electron framework that is also used by the Atom.io editor and Visual Studio code.
So here they are (:
Over time, these have been updated with new versions.

From one of my scripts: it will find a 64-bit 7z.exe if it was installed as part of the 7-zip installer, then run it with the parameters provided to the batch file.
setlocal
:verify7zip
:: registry trick from http://www.robvanderwoude.com/files/sortdate2_nt.txt
:: extra trick: tokens=2* allows to get the 3rd (and beyond: space delimited!) value in one variable %%b
for /F "tokens=2*" %%a IN ('REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-Zip" /v Path64 2^>nul') do set sevenZipDirectoryPath=%%b
call :checkMissingSetting sevenZipDirectoryPath || goto :help
set sevenZipExeFilePath=%sevenZipDirectoryPath%7z.exe
if not exist "%sevenZipExeFilePath%" call :showError "No 7-zip executable at %sevenZipExeFilePath%" || goto :help
:run7zip
"%sevenZipExeFilePath%" %*
endlocal
goto :end
:checkMissingSetting
if not defined %1 call :notifyMissingSetting %1 && exit /b 1
call :showSetting %1
exit /b 0
goto :end
:notifyMissingSetting
echo Registry didn't provide the environment variable "%1"
goto :end
:showError
:: remove double quotes using tilde trick:
echo %~1
:help
echo Syntax: %0 7z.exe-commandline-parameters
goto :end
:end
