                Retrieve Windows Product Key from BIOS on Linux
              
          
    My computer originally came with Windows 10 preinstalled.
As I prefer to run Linux, but still need to use Windows for some tools, I have installed Windows via VirtualBox.
When I install Windows in VirtualBox, it asks me for the Product Key for activation. As this is injected into the BIOS and the virtual machine doesn't have access to the BIOS, I need to fetch it from the BIOS and enter it manually.
It can be fetched with the following command:
sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

                Convert a Word Document into MD
              
          
    Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.
Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.
The Solution
	#!/bin/sh
	# Userland mode (~$USER/), (~/).

	# ~/.fonts is now deprecated and that
	#FONT_HOME=~/.fonts
	# ~/.local/share/fonts should be used instead
	FONT_HOME=~/.local/share/fonts

	echo "installing fonts at $PWD to $FONT_HOME"
	mkdir -p "$FONT_HOME/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro"
