Blog post highlights small dev tricks like fzf history search and SQL SELECT without FROM

A blog post argues that much of engineering productivity comes from small, easily learned tricks rather than deep expertise. Examples include using python3 -m http.server for a quick local server, installing fzf for fuzzy-search of shell history, using atuin for SQLite-backed history search, and running a bare SELECT statement in SQL without a FROM clause to test expressions.

NetBSD powers TCP satellite research at NASA Lewis and IPv6/IPsec work by KAME

NASA Lewis Research Center's Satellite Networks and Architectures Branch relies almost entirely on NetBSD to test proposed TCP protocol changes, including selective-acknowledgement retransmission and larger initial windows, for both satellite and terrestrial links. Separately, the KAME project used NetBSD as the base for implementing IPv6 and IPsec, with its stack merged into NetBSD-current in June 1999, while Germany's Institute for Media Communication built network access control tools on the OS.
