      <description>&lt;p&gt;In this post I&amp;rsquo;m explaining why I&amp;rsquo;m going to close down my Twitter account in favor of the &lt;a href=&#34;https://joinmastodon.org/&#34;&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt; social network.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The best terminal font</title>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/the-best-terminal-font/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have long tried to find the best-looking font to be used with the terminal or my favorite editor &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/&#34;&gt;Emacs&lt;/a&gt;, but none of all the options look as good to me as the traditional &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_(typeface)&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;misc fixed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; font from the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.x.org/&#34;&gt;X.org&lt;/a&gt; server.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Syncthing for the win</title>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/syncthing-for-the-win/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;For a long time I had my own server running &lt;a href=&#34;https://nextcloud.com/&#34;&gt;Nextcloud&lt;/a&gt; to sync my files to other computers and mobile devices. It was working quite well. But what if you don&amp;rsquo;t have your own server? What if you don&amp;rsquo;t &lt;strong&gt;want&lt;/strong&gt; to use a server?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s see if I can make your life a bit easier today. I want to address email and how you deal with your email. And how it is more of a nuisance for you than it should be.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Gnome Desktop UX Review</title>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/gnome-desktop-ux-review/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been working with Debian GNU/Linux (yes, GNU to acknowledge what Richard Stallman has done and is still doing to free us from proprietary software) as my desktop (or laptop) OS for many years now and I&amp;rsquo;m very happy with it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Edititing files with Emacs via ssh and sudo</title>
      <link>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/editing-files-via-ssh-as-another-user-with-emacs/</link>
      <pubDate>Sun, 15 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/editing-files-via-ssh-as-another-user-with-emacs/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Emacs has pretty impressive remote file editing capabilites through &lt;code&gt;tramp.el&lt;/code&gt; (Transparent Remote Access, Multiple Protocol) &amp;ndash; especially via ssh. It is even possible to use git on a remote server through Emacs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Shell commands with GNU sed</title>
      <link>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/shell-commands-with-gnu-sed/</link>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/shell-commands-with-gnu-sed/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sed&lt;/code&gt; is useful to replace some text on the fly. But how about processing text on the fly with shell commands instead of just replacing it with fixed content? &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>ssh Agent Forwarding</title>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/ssh-agent-forwarding/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Quite often it is necessary to ssh via an intermediate host if the destination host is not directly accessible through ssh.  Usually people do this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;highlight&#34;&gt;&lt;pre style=&#34;color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4&#34;&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-shell&#34; data-lang=&#34;shell&#34;&gt;ssh user@host1
ssh host2
# you&lt;span style=&#34;color:#960050;background-color:#1e0010&#34;&gt;&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;ll have to enter your password&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Google Fu</title>
      <link>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/google-fu/</link>
      <pubDate>Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/google-fu/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In years of googling have learned a few things. Most importantly:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most people don&amp;rsquo;t know how to google efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And this makes all the difference today, whether you are trying to learn, fix a problem, find a new job, flat or car. Good googling helps you in your job, it helps you with your hobby, your research, your studies - in short: everywhere.

      <title>Finding unicode symbols on the shell</title>
      <link>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/finding-unicode-symbols-on-the-shell/</link>
      <pubDate>Sat, 31 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/finding-unicode-symbols-on-the-shell/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I want to know if there is a unicode symbol for a certain topic. There is a convenient tool on the command line that allows to do exactly that. For example to find something regarding &lt;strong&gt;computer&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ unicode computer
U+1F4BB PERSONAL COMPUTER
UTF-8: f0 9f 92 bb UTF-16BE: d83ddcbb Decimal: &amp;amp;#128187; Octal: \0372273
💻
Category: So (Symbol, Other)
Bidi: ON (Other Neutrals)

U+1F5A5 DESKTOP COMPUTER
UTF-8: f0 9f 96 a5 UTF-16BE: d83ddda5 Decimal: &amp;amp;#128421; Octal: \0372645
🖥
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

      <title>Download and unzip in one command</title>
      <link>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/download-and-unzip-in-one-command/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 30 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>http://steckerhalter.tk/post/download-and-unzip-in-one-command/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With &lt;code&gt;tar&lt;/code&gt; it is possible to do something like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;wget -O- http://example.com/my.tar.gz | tar xvz
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This downloads and extracts the archive in one go which is of course faster than having to first download and then extract the contents. I have been annoyed that this didn&amp;rsquo;t seem possible with &lt;code&gt;zip&lt;/code&gt; files. But today I found a &amp;ldquo;trick&amp;rdquo; for exactly that:
