The “source” command in bash is used to execute a script in the current shell instead of a separate one. This simple difference has a wide variety of implications as I’ll describe below.

Memory or random access memory (RAM) is a hardware component of a computer that is used to temporally store data. RAM can be compared to sticky notes and short-term memory. Like sticky notes, RAM acts as a temporary storage area where data and instructions are quickly accessible for immediate tasks, much like sticky notes. RAM is […]

Imagine needing to remember an IP address like 198.51.100.215 Instead of a domain name like namehero.com. Better yet a fill IPv6 address like 2001:DB8:d824:d476:d6e6:ad69:446f:e630. You can see what domains are needed. In this post, we […]
Every now and then, when you browse the web, you see an error message that says “502 Bad Gateway” like this: It’s a rather cryptic message, and if this is something you encounter as a user, there’s nothing you can do other than move along and try again later.
