DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is a famous Blue Screen of Death error, often caused by a bad driver somewhere. The Internet is awash with reports of variants of this error.

This particular variant, L1C63x64.sys, was an occasional occurrence for me on Windows 7, but seemingly only while torrenting.

Upgrading to Windows 10 turned the error from occasional to frequent within the first few days,

This command recursively finds every file matching the glob pattern *.* (name.extension) in the working directory, excluding child directories whose names start with ..

This is useful for skipping various VCS directories, for instance.

find . -type d -path './.*' -prune -o -type f -name '*.*' -print

The following command generates a 20 character password from all visible ASCII characters (94) except '"|\ (90), which are problematic in some contexts, like embedding in (unversioned) source code, for approximately [128 bits of entropy (90²⁰ = 1.22e+39)][math]:
