@dfox Just an idea: it'll be great to have a "share knowledge" section here on devRant where everybody can share the little new things they learn, like the one in this post ^
That way the community will also be able to grow together as professionals (although the rants and other similar posts are also helpful but a separate section dedicated to learning would be great too I think). -
@fuck2code that's gnome terminal with very little transparency. You can find it on Edit > Profile Preferences > Colors
The prompt is custom made. -
@SheShell great idea, thanks!
If you don’t mind, so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle, please create a GitHub issue in the issue tracker.
But I really do like the idea. We have something semi-similar in the works in terms of sharing a specific kind of knowledge (I don’t want to spoil it haha) but your idea is more like a TIL type maybe. -

@SheShell I was gonna write the same, it has been in my mind for past week thanks for writing it down.

Every now and then... try this.
Today, I learned the shortest command which will determine if a ping from your machine can reach the Internet:
ping 1.1
This parses as 1.0.0.1, which thanks to Cloudflare, is now the IP address of an Internet-facing machine which responds to ICMP pings.
Oh, you can also use this trick to parse 10.0.0.x from `10.x` or 127.0.0.1 from `127.1`. It's just like IPv6's :: notation, except less explicit.
