This is super-unlikely to be what you're looking for, but it may help you in the future: PDFs have a mechanism to stamp in form field data from XML.
IIRC, you create the data file separately with a reference to the PDF form it loads into. This is useful if you have some process to generate partial... (more) |

A: Confused about what "Linux" means Richard Stallman wants you to use GNU/Linux to refer to the combination of OS and kernel that people typically call Linux. I am not a Stallman partisan one way or the other, but I think noting his complaint is informative in this context. I have emphasized the sentence of the excerpt below where he d... (more) |

One of the sources from the Wikipedia footnotes [says that](https://www.ncftp.com/ncftpd/doc/misc/ephemeral_ports.html#Linux) it _had been_ 1024 through 4999 in kernel 2.2 and changed in kernel 2.4 to "32768 through 61000 if adequate kernel memory is available."
I don't know if this suggests a tec... (more) |

A: Nerf an SSH login outside expected IP range authorizedkeys You can make restrictions, but it's clunky and not well-standardized. A `command` stanza on an authorized key works like the `ForceCommand` on SSHD Config. It runs the one specified command instead of your requested command or interactive session and then closes the connection. Obvi... (more) |

| Question | — |
Nerf an SSH login outside expected IP range Can I restrict myself from certain actions when I SSH in from outside a certain IP range? For instance no `sudo`? Maybe with /.ssh/authorizedkeys having a `from="!1.2.3.4/26"` option with some kind of `command="???"`? (more) |

A: How do you remap mouse buttons? Wayland, ideally If you are on Wayland, the blessed way is to use the configuration for your desktop environment (DE) to map mouse keys and other input devices, except for a couple well-known options (eg left-handed mode and middle mouse emulation). Wayland, via `hwdb` If your DE doesn't hav... (more) |

Makes sense to me. It could save some poor sod from thinking you could pipe to `test` like this:
```sh
false | test || echo 'False!'
! false | test && echo 'True!'
```
You're inverting the exit code of `test`, not inverting `false` as someone might imagine. (Is this contrived? Yes, very. Is ... (more) |

From the question title, I thought you meant _syntax highlighting_ in the shell, which you can do with [`bat`](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat). Pipe your pretty (or existing) output to `bat` for colors. (more) |

You didn't ask for this, but there's also a tool I use for SSH: [`ssh-audit`](https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit). It's perhaps a little too opinionated about NIST curves and the NSA (but if you're concerned about the NSA, maybe that's important). Otherwise pretty helpful. (more) |

A: How to count the lines of a file? I think the typical way to do this uses `wc` ("word count") with the `-l` ("lines") option. ```sh $ wc -l /path/to/file 47 /path/to/file $ wc -l </path/to/file 47 $ cat /path/to/file | wc -l 47 ``` `wc` with no options prints the number of lines, words, and bytes, but `-l` can li...
