I love this. This is the grown-up brother of my one-liner bash+python at

Could be done, but nothing is EVER simple regarding IPv6. :) What about EUI-64? Any special cases regarding TEREDO, ORCHID2, 6to4 addressing scheme (NOT the same as NAT64!), etc...?

Nevertheless, something like this could be an option.

Let's hope this not end with me taken away in handcuffs, lol :)

Heh, I never thought about that, but it's true.

Thanks for the encouragement, Edmund!

That could be a logical next step!

You would be surprised how many of us are on IPv4 :) With GUA, who needs tracking cookies? ;)

I wanted to say that I still occasionally use TCL, too! :)

My favorite quote from Systemantics is, "When a Fail-Safe system fails, it fails by failing to fail safe." :) So true

Thanks Jacques, looks very interesting, indeed!

Thanks for posting this on HN, porker! :)

We europeans were aware of this since our childhood. :) Where had they thought Der Maus lives?

I prefer to think of it as a toolbox -- the right tool for the right job.

I have to agree. Not long ago, the biggest advantage of CouchDB for those new to NoSQL were its simplicity and "relax". Lately it really has disappeared into IBM-esque product combination offerings.

I truly hope they sort it out though, since CouchDB itself is great technology.

Can you post a link to NX? (I try to google "X NX" I get, well something very different :) )

I like this "remotely triggered deploy" idea :)

Hi guys, posted a related poll at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2895035 - please vote! Thanks.

Workrave is a must have, unfortunately there is no OS X version :( (If someone can show something similar (not AntiRSI), I'd be grateful...)

Thanks for this comment, you catch my drift very well!

Of course writing this on the net, I'm quite obliged to hold up the other part of the bargain. This is definitely part of the intent.

Thanks.

Fun thing: it was actually pretty hard for me to put it into this tone, since it's not really mine. :) But I wanted it to be short and rememberable. I even wanted to do an acronym like they do it in the military. Just saying :)

Dwarf Fortress was already suggested by somebody, and I very much like it, too (haven't had the time to look deeply enough, though), but it's not a terminal game. Yes it uses characters; but one actually needs OpenGL for the game.

Still, a very nice one, that is!

There really is no "target" audience of this post. :) It just started out as a list of "recommended" tools, then people started suggesting stuff -- some of which I knew, some of which I don't, some of which run on every unix, some only on Linux.

And it was easiest to take the screenshots from my OS X laptop. For some tools, like powertop, I had SSH-d into various Linux or FreeBSD boxes.

Some of these are uncommon enough that they are not ported to every package manager system, too. :(

Hi guys,

Kristof here, creator of this particular list. First, thanks for the kind words! :)

I'll maybe add more tools when I have some time to make more screenshots. It's surprisingly more time consuming than it seems :)

Also, I'm a bit of two minds with the whole list -- many people think that some of these tools are already not "obscure" enough, while others suggest adding even more trivial ones like ifconfig or grep. I'll have to think about this a bit :)

Once again, thanks for your feedback!

Sounds good, I'll look into it! Thanks, man!

If anybody has any suggestions, just post it here -- I love to find new, useful stuff!

Hi,

The killer app would be to do the "usual" web stuff comfortably from PHP, while having a (possibly distributed) Erlang core deal with "persistent" stuff like an in-memory session database, and also to handle the comet functions (keeping track of even thousands of dormant connections that wait for an event to happen). Erlang is good in that stuff.

Best,

Kristof

I think it's a nice closing word from @jzy:

A SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, "Can I join you?" "No, but you can enjoy the view."

Sorry :)

K.

Thanks :)

antirez, it's a honor that you commented, thanks! :)

The new inverted logic for the VM you describe seems very interesting; I'm very much looking forward to see 2.4!

Redis is already more than perfect what we use it for -- keeping track of stock price data, and distributing it. The size of the DB is known in advance (the amount of stocks does not grow very fast), and the performance is perfect.

Keep up the good job! (And have a nice new year)

Kristof
