The below code expands %…% for environment variables and $(…) for CSIDL values.
Someday I will find time to convert it to something that does expansion like the $(…) one from the Delphi IDE.

Last year I came across this semi-humorous post: [WayBack] Bwahahaha, now that they took your init and replaced it with systemd, they are coming after your ifconfig. Next thing is that they will come after your… – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Underneath is a bigger problem: net-tools had been dormant for a long time, which means a lot of people rely on the predictable behaviour – especially by parsing the output for post processing.
Those days are definitely over: net-tools is in more active maintenance now breaking scripts like crazing. So since the foundation of networking on most distributions is now iproute2, it’s better to learn iproute2.
That’s not easy though, so here is some background reading to do:
I got this little translation table from the last link:

These are the command-line parameters I assembled to get close to “Ultra” compression from the 7-zip command-line:
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -t7z -m0=lzma2:d1024m -mx=9 -aoa -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on -sdel filename archive.7z
This will move filename to archive.7z using maximum compression.
Sometimes this is slightly better than “Ultra” compression from the 7-zip UI, sometimes slightly worse, but never far apart.

The Intel Intrinsics Guide is an interactive reference tool for Intel intrinsic instructions, which are C style functions that provide access to many Intel instructions – including Intel® SSE, AVX, AVX-512, and more – without the need to write assembly code.

While recovering the backups of a Retina MacBook Pro, I needed to know if I could mount a Disk Utility backup image on read-only mode.
Finding that info was a tad difficult as most results were about making dmg files read-write. This already hinted me in that most dmg files were readonly.
The main tool for handling dmg files is hdiutil. for which you can get more info here:
The hdiutil command imageinfo will output a Format: line having the kind of dmg image:
All compressed formats seem to be read-only and of course all read-only formats. Which then basically leaves only these as (potentialy) read-write image types:
