Modern Command Line

Modern Command Line

Links from my recent dive into exploring a modern terminal setup. I've shared videos I've seen as well as kids these days to that instead of blog posts.

Modern Terminal

  • iTerm2 - (I now like the "Tango Dark" Theme that ships with iTerm)
  • https://alacritty.org/ - Cross-platform terminal (Mac, Linux, BSD) with required features
  • Remember to use 256-color mode terminal and Unicode/locale modes! (see fonts)

Modern Font

These fonts have been patched to include icons useful for terminals (files, utilities, ecosystems)

Tenda N300 N301 AC5 WiFi Router AP Access Point Setup

Tenda N300 N301 AC5 WiFi Router AP Access Point Setup

I have ethernet running to my Fios modem/router on either end of a very long house. I wanted to set the modem/router and Tenda routers to have the same network name (SSID) and password so it would auto-connect from anywhere in the house. To do this, use AP (Access Point) mode.

Notes

  • I used an ethernet cable from laptop to WAN port of router.
  • Power on Router

Takes (log) lines with ISO timestamp at start, counts by year/month/day/hour/minute(default)/second. Useful for log analysis counts, like "uniq -c" for time periods.
