This week I needed the trick below, so I was glad that a long time ago, Danny Thorpe Shared publicly on G+:

IRC so: »i> Isotopp: Ich habe jetzt nen Mac als Arbeitsplatzrechner… Was will man als UNIX Hacker zuerst an Tools installieren?«

Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.
Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.

referring to: mjg59 | I stayed in a hotel with Android lightswitches and it was just as bad as you’d imagine
And then I noticed something. My room number is 714. The IP address I was communicating with was 172.16.207.14. They wouldn’t, would they?

Apple Pirate Flag
Happy birthday Apple!
In homage to its history, Apple has hung a pirate flag at its Infinite Loop Headquarters (images via @twfarley and @mjisrawi). On April 1st, 40 years ago, Apple was founded…
Time lines:

The Mic Drop button worked so well (besides confusing the heck out of many people, it sometimes even got activated while sending a normal email) that GMail has retracted their April 1st joke.
What a prank (:

Apple Inc. just turned 40 today. Happy birthday!
Based on Mac@30, here is my educated guess for Apple@40.
(Boy what were they thinking when establishing Apple Computer Inc. on April 1st 1976)

Basically there are two opinions on Netflix and blocking:
I’m not a netflix user (or user of any form of DRM) as I really dislike the fact that DRM means for any reason your license can be ended. I’ve seen too many players going out of business or taking decisions turning.
So I buy CDs, DVDs, BlueRays or DRM-free media files. Now it’s my problem of making proper back-ups to ensure future access to them (:
The DRM walls and ladders war^w game has gone so far that in this case, Netflix is blocking even though the WiFi provider / proxy / VPN is in the same country like the below imgur image:
