Comment Post #290797 Yes this works for most uses, but it's good to keep in mind that this counts newline characters, not lines of text as we humans perceive them. In particular it's not guaranteed that a file ends in a newline, leading to the count being off by one.

Answer A: How to count the lines of a file?
One way is to use `grep`: ``` $ grep --count ^ /path/to/the/file ``` The `^` character matches a start of a new line, so it basically counts the number of starting lines.

Answer A: Show a timestamp on the right side of prompt when executing a command in ZSH
The `preexec` function is called right before executing commands, so it's the place to do this sorta things. This solution is adapted from Dan Berindei's original answer (CC BY-SA 3.0) to a related question: ```zsh preexec () { TIME=`date +"[%H:%M:%S]"` C=$(($COLUMNS-12)) echo -e "\03...

Cisco's OpenDNS (nothing to do with open source) has this magic domain `myip.opendns.com` which resolves to your own public IP address when looked up with standard DNS tools. For example with dog (or dig): ```bash $ dog +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com ```

Answer A: How to invert command exit code?
An exclamation mark followed by space in the beginning of a pipeline will negate the final exit code of the pipeline. Here's an example in Bash. Echoing `$?` will print out the exit code of the previous command (which is also an echo in this case). ```bash $ echo OpenStreetMap is the best map O...

Answer A: How to open a port in firewalld?
You add a port to the public zone like so: ```bash firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp ``` Firewalld knows already many of the commonly used ports, so you might just use the service name instead: ```bash firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=kdeconnect ``` These changes ...
