croc – simple and secure cross-platform file transfer
croc is a very simple but super useful utility, which helps with occasional file transfers between two computers. When you need to send a few files to a friend on another computer or in another country – this might just be the easiest way. No need to setup HTTP or FTP servers, Samba or NFS shares, or register at one of the million web services that provide such functionality.
croc is written in Go and is compiled for a variety of operating systems, include Linux, Windows, and macOS. It even has a simple GUI for those who wants it.
up – the Ultimate Plumber
The Ultimate Plumber, or up for short, is an excellent interactive tool for anyone who is building complex command sequences for processing text on the Linux command line. If you are a frequent user of grep, sort, cut, awk, sed, and other similar commands, have a look at this demo. I’m sure up will save a tonne of time once you get a hang of it.
The Illustrated TLS Connection
“The Illustrated TLS Connection” is an interactive guide to the TLS connection, explaining every byte with code, comments, annotations, and more. If you ever wanted to know the details of how this works, I can’t think of a better resource to direct you to. And if you find any issues or can suggest a better explanation, there’s a GitHub repository for you to contribute.
Having fun with link hover effects
Any web developer knows how to apply CSS rules to style web page elements. Including links. Including hover effects (on mouse over). But I think most have never went far enough to explore the limits of this styling. “Having fun with link hover effects” goes exactly there, with some really cool techniques that tend to leave people with “why didn’t I think of that” thought hovering over their head.
