Clipboard Snooping (X11 and Wayland)
This post takes a look at what's possible in terms of "clipboard snooping" or stealing and setting content to the clipboard in both, X11 and Wayland display servers on Linux.
Network Commands
This post is meant to be a single point of reference for all of the random ways of interacting with and diagnosing network(s) from a machine.
It was started after spending a significant amount of time working in packer, across both the Debian and Red Hat family OS's. There are so many ways to handle networking it's hard to remember these notes when I don't have access to them, and each tool had a dedicated page that has been built upon for 5+ years. Porting each of these notes to this page is an opportunity to clean up, review, and expand on each tool (and add new ones).
As of the latest update, this includes Linux (Debian / RedHat), BSD (pfSense), and Windows.
rsync
The fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool. It operates using deltas and by looking at properties to only update parts of files that have changed, making it incredibly efficient and invaluable as a part of a regular or scheduled backup operation. I have used this tool to ensure local, remote, and external copies of directories are in sync, or to identify what has changed.
CI/CD
Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment
Improve the quality and security of your code using CI/CD workflows. This is best summarized in GitHub's Quickstart for Securing Repos.
