Map Keyboard Key

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:36:04 +0100

I am using a “Keychron K3 Pro” keyboard. Right of the space key there is a “Super” key to run the launcher (similar to windows key). Therefore the “Alt Right” key is missing and this makes creating umlauts more difficult. I am using the “Enlgish (int, with AltGr dead keys)” keyboard layout and pressing Alt Right+Shift Right+" gives me the ¨. Remapping a key in linux is very easy.

Get public IP with Curl

Getting the public IP of your machine (running in the cloud) is simple. You probably find yourself on the command line and want to check if a DNS entry is resolved correctly. Login into the hoster’s dashboard and checking the public IP there is too much of hassle.

I just upgraded my operating system Pop!_OS to the latest version and once again I was surprised by how far Linux has come.

Update Windows Subsystem for Linux

Tue, 30 Jan 2018 10:32:51 +0000

Today I learned that certain Ubuntu package versions are bound to the release version of Ubuntu. For example the only available version of the password store tool pass for Ubuntu LTS 14.04 (trusty) is 1.4.2-3. If you need a newer version you have to update Ubuntu first. Usually this no big deal, however, if you work with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) it is a big deal. The WSL release is bound to the Windows version. In result to update a package you have to update your Windows first.

bin/bash^M: bad interpreter

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 08:00:19 +0000

If you’re using windows and linux/unix and your also a system administrator who likes to script. The chances are high that you’ll get this error when executing a script on a linux/unix machine that has been made on a windows machine: bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directoy

The ^M character is a windows line break, which linux/unix can’t interpret. The solution is easy, use dos2unix [filename] and everything should work fine.
