Output format changed for the `free` command.
Two different machines. The first has 8GiB RAM and is running Ubuntu 14.04, the 2nd has
16GiB RAM and is running Ubuntu 16.04. Looks like they changed the output format for `free`.

Run a container as a host user/group

Say I have a short-lived container that creates a file inside an attached volume. Most off-the-shelf images run stuff as root in containers, so unless I do extra stuff in the container the file ends up owned by root on the host. I want that file owned by me.

Run container as specific user

docker run has a --user argument that allows forcing a specific uid/gid of the first process started in the container. This seems to work in some cases. For example:

host$ mkdir dockTmp
host$ docker run -u $UID:$(id -g) -v $(pwd)/dockTmp:/tmp/dockTmp --rm -it ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
groups: cannot find name for group ID 1000

Generate MongoDB index creation commands from the console

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
