Linux
Most of the things I post here are tested on Debian and/or alpine and that’s about it, since those are my daily drivers.
Message of the Day
All important Debian locations:
/etc/motd/etc/motd.d/etc/update-motd.d
Here’s the official Debian motd docs. Import ecerts below:
…motd is generated by pam_motd. pam_motd prints the contents from
/run/motd.dynamicand the static (and user editable) content from/etc/motdand/etc/motd.d… pam_motd updates/run/motd.dynamicby executing all files from/etc/update-motd.d
Pretty view markdown
You can use batcat on linux, ccat on mac, and gh repo view if the markdown file is a README.md in a repo.
You can also use this lynx trick:
pandoc README.md | lynx -stdin
