Small warning for everyone that are thinking if using Tex colors is a good idea or not

• 2023-05-02 - Since a few days ago \colorbox and \fcolorbox are broken and Github did't talk about if it's a temporary thing or if it will not be added back.
  • 2024-01-04 - Since it has not being added back I deduce that it will never be so I removed all mentions to it on the rest of the gist.
• 2023-09-29 - Tex seems to not work on h1 to h6 anymore (markdown #'s)
  • 2024-01-04 - Now it works again, I'll keep the message for a while to remember that it may change again in the future

As you can se with the above message(s) Tex may not be very stable and may not be an option to you as of the dates expressed above. You can also check other tex problems here.

Github released Tex support and colors* to the markdown and you din't realized

Mounting VirtualBox shared folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you are using the following setup:

• Oracle VM VirtualBox version 6.0.10 with Extension Pack installed
• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 as the host OS
• A fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS as the guest OS

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).

#     $ curl-progress -O http://example.com/file.tar.gz
#     $ curl-progress http://example.com/file.tar.gz > file.tar.gz
#
# All arguments to the program are passed directly to curl. Define your
# custom progress bar in the `print_progress` function.
