Just thought to mention the great guys and the tons of Linux command line terminal fun over at ctrl-c.club and at the rest of the tildeverse.

During the time in between scrolling paper output from terminals and multi-color terminals, the main choices for terminal text were green or amber, both displayed against black backgrounds. Maybe the best known terminal from the green/amber period might be the VT420.

True to the command line terminal tradition, ctrl-c.club and tildeverse.org are green characters on black backgrounds, and tilde.club is amber on black.

I knew a guy who could touch type as fast as lightning! He could execute command line terminal commands to find any and every bit of information in less time than the blink of an eye! He was amazing!

ctrl-c.club is a great place to go if, like me, you want to learn more about the command line terminal!

Hi there!

These days when the internet shares things in milliseconds, who of you have needed to share a file quickly? I bet some of you remember at least one time one of those cases.

As you probably know, in terms of web servers, we can share files with popular software like Apache, Nginx, and Lighttpd but this software need basic configuration, also they consume server resources as long as they’re active.

What if you could set up a basic HTTP web server without installing Apache, Nginx, or Lighttpd? Well, that’s sounds kind of impossible, and even more unbelievable is that you can kill it with Ctrl^C. Thanks to Python3 we can do that with its HTTP server module.

This module will deploy an HTTP server in any directory of the server, even in the root directory and that sounds ridiculously dangerous, fortunately, the default port of this HTTP server isn’t 80. Instead, it will use port: 8000 but you can assign a custom port, very convenient for NAT environment instances.

Now you can deploy a basic HTTP server -in the current directory with the default port- by typing this single command line:

python3 -m http.server

Starting HTTP Server

Killing HTTP Server

HTTP Server as Shown in Browser

You can change the default port (example port: 32085) and specify a directory (example directory: /tmp/) with:

python3 -m http.sever 32085 --directory /tmp/

More information about Python3 httpserver module is available here

Also, there is a github page here

Note: of course, you will need to install Python3 in order to use these post example command lines.
