+-Qt for wayland requires qt5-wayland package and "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland"
+
+-"https://www.iplocation.net/" is pretty useful
+
+-Changing the MAC address:
+  Using macchanger:
+    The general usage is "macchanger [OPTIONS] interface", the most common options being
+    -A for a random MAC,
+    -r to reset to the original one,
+    -a to change it to a random MAC of some type (same vendor),
+    -b to set the "locally administered" bit set to false or
+    -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX to manually set the MAC address.
+  Using ifconfig:
+    First disable the interface using "ifconfig <interface> down"
+    Then change the MAC address using "ifconfig <interface> hw ether 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
+      it has to begin with 00:*
+    Then finally re-enable the interface with "ifconfig <interface> up"
+
+-Wifite2 works much better than wifite "https://github.com/derv82/wifite2"
+
+-The network interfaces are named "wlp3s0" for the internal one and "wlp0s20u2" for the alpha networks msfconsole
+
+-Do not panic use the WiGLE maps to discover wifis for later use ;)
+
+-You still have tor and "arm" to monitor it
+
+-IP forwarding:
+  Arch page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_sharing_(Italiano)
+  "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
+    thank me later
+
+-Docker is pretty cool you should use it, https://www.kali.org/news/official-kali-linux-docker-images/
+  also works with wifite2, it basically is a shell-oriented low-weight high-performance virtual machine
+  wich can run prebuilt docker images or your personal docker images. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/
+
+-Pacman commands:
+  "pacman -Syy" update repositories
+  "pacman -Su" update packages
+  "pacman -Qdtq" list unused/orphan packages
+  "pacman -R" remove a package
+  "pacman -S" install a package
+  "pacman -R $(pacman -Qdtq)" remove unused packages
+  "pacman -Rns" remove packages and its dependencies (recursively)
+  "pacman -Ql" list all package files and locations
+  "pacman -Qqe" list all installed packages
+  If you panic just do "sudo pacman -Syy" and then "sudo pacman -Su"
+  "rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/db.lck" remove pacman's transaction lock file
+    (to solve "could not unlock database" error)
+
+-"acpi" is kinda important in laptops "acpi -i" for info, also "thinkpad_acpi" should be noted
+
+-GREP basics:
+  GREP or "grep" is the most beautiful thing in the fucking universe, use it to filter results like:
+  "ps ax | grep whatyouwant" and it will find it another example is "dmesg | grep whatyouwant"
+  the | is used to pipe the output in another program like, can you guess it? grep
+
+-You use "ps ax" to view all processes and their UIDs
+
+-"https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd" just helpful
+
+-Remember: the ArchLinux wiki is your lord and savior
+
+-Bluetooth usage:
+  Start the "bluetooth.service" service then refer to:
+    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset
+    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth
+
+-https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit
+
+-You have a one year subscription to PIA
+
+-Kismet requires to be started with "kismet -c ifacemon" where ifacemon is your interface in monitor mode
+
+-Surface programs: Leonardo (drawing), Dolby access (you payed for it)
+
+-Remember that you have a GL-AR150 mini router with tor, openvpn support and that it is based on openwrt, also:
+  https://github.com/d1slact0r/pineapple-ar150
+
+-Make some bash scripts you idiot, oh and this could be useful http://patorjk.com/software/taag/#p=display&f=Graffiti&t=Type%20Something%20
+
+-Upon installing linux, to add locales uncomment them in /etc/locale.gen and then run "locale-gen" as sudo
+  to search for fonts just open https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Localization
+  Note that you need japanese and chinese locales and fonts to display those characters correctly
+
+-Install "mesa", "lib32-mesa" and "vulkan-intel" for the graphics you dumb fuck
+  "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics"
+
+-To run .jar files in cli you must use "java -jar"
+
+-To list all partitions "sudo fdisk -l"
+
+-To check a disk's health you need "smartmontools", first check system compatibility with "sudo smartctl -c /dev/sdX"
+  then either do a short test "sudo smartctl -t short /dev/sdX" or a long test "sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sdX"
+  lastly do "sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdX" to get the results

+-Problem with xtensa-lx106 gcc for compiling esp8266 programs:
+ "https://community.zerynth.com/t/can-not-build-wifi-example-on-nodemcu-v3-error-building-native-c-driver/1280"
+
+
+
+-Recompiling compilers for zerynth:
+  If facing compiling errors in zerynth, manually recompile the compiler for the board in ""~/.zerynth2/sys"
+  for example replacing the xtensa-lx106 compiler (esp8266) goes:
+    1-Move the old compiler folder somewhere safe (~/.zerynth2/sys/xtensa-lx106)
+    2-Clone and compile (as standalone) new compiler in a temporary folder, guide here -> "http://domoticx.com/sdk-esp8266-xtensa-architecture-toolchain/"
+    3-Move the newly created compiler folder (xtensa-lx106-elf) in ~/.zerynth2/sys and rename it as the original one (xtensa-lx106/)
+    4-Copy the old package.json in the new compiler folder
+  Better yet is to wait for an official fix and report the bug on the troubleshooting section
+  Also the same thing has to be done with the xtensa-lx6 compiler (esp32)
+  "https://dl.espressif.com/doc/esp-idf/latest/get-started/linux-setup.html"
+
+-Pay attention of those sneaky KDE bastards, mostly everything which begins with k is EVIL
+
+-Fixing Arduino permissions:
+  Source: https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-user-to-a-group-or-second-group-on-linux/
+  "ls -la /dev/tty*" and see which group TTYs are in, then add yourself to that group:
+  "usermod -a -G examplegroup exampleusername" or just use "$USER" to add current user, then reboot.
+
+-Theming gnome:
+  download the theme packages at "https://www.gnome-look.org/" and unzip them
+  then depending if it is an icon theme or an normal theme place them in
+    "/usr/share/icons" or "/usr/share/themes" accordingly

+-Adding executables and shortcuts:
+  Refers to:
+    https://askubuntu.com/questions/322772/how-do-i-add-an-executable-to-my-search-path
+    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3809/how-can-i-make-a-program-executable-from-everywhere
+  You have to add them to your $PATH, example: "export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"
+  Quote "If you just type export PATH=$PATH:</path/to/file> at the command line it will only last for the length of the session.
+  If you want to change it permanently add export PATH=$PATH:</path/to/file> to your ~/.bashrc file (just at the end is fine)."
+
+-Use "clamav" as antivirus: "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV", to update use "freshclam" as sudo
+  and to scan "clamscan --recursive --infected /path/to/something"
+
+-If by nay chance you need a key's datasheet, like for copying it with just a photo (more on that later ;),
+  check out Silca's "the catalogue" it tell dimensions and the catalog's page of the key: https://thecatalogue.silca.biz/

+-It may be useful to download some sites that I list here on top of the whole arch wiki and Wikipedia
+  a guide is found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeQKE_tEcA&index=4&t=0s&list=PLY_0BKX9I82YNPNxRZRbGEqaxRdpSAk6a

+
+-Some git stuff:
+  Creating a repo and pushing the first commit: "https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/"
+    basically it's a matter of defining the remote (origin) repo "git remote add origin <repo URL>"
+    committing the changes in local repo "git commit -m "message" "
+    pushing before first pull "git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories" the last part is just to merge the repos (if needed)
+    and finally pushing the changes "git push origin master", or in atom just publish
+  Using 2 factor auth. in command line and atom: "https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/"
+    basically you have to use a access token instead of the password, these are unique and you can only
+    see them once, so be careful with them!
+
+-Powertop usage:
+  Arch page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/powertop
+  To start powertop use "sudo powertop"
+  For the first calibration use "sudo powertop --calibrate", note that it takes a few minutes and during
+    that time the screen may go (it does) black for a few minutes too, just let it run.
+  To set everything to "good" do "sudo powertop --auto-tune",
+    to make the auto-tune start at boot refer to the Arch wiki or "how to create a sysemd service"
+  Note that in order to apply changes and stuff you have to leave it running for some time to let it
+    take its measures and stuff
+
+-Power management:
+  Arch page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management#Power_management_with_systemd
+  To change the actions to take when power button or lid switch events occur:
+    modify the conf. file at /etc/systemd/logind.conf or /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/*.conf
+
+
+    -To get the windows product key execute with admin privileges: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey
+
+    -Use mitmf or ettercap to start mitm then use ferret to capture cookies (ferret -i eth0)
+      use hamster to set session cookies and then in browser set the proxy settings to manual giving the address
+      provided by hamster and finally open that link
+
+    -Example usage of mitmf: sudo mitmf --arp --spoof --gateway 192.168.1.1 --target 192.168.1.10 -i wlan0
+
+    -IP forwarding: "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_sharing_(Italiano)" more precisely:
+        "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" thank me later
+
+    -To restart network interfaces: "ifdown <interface>" "ifup <interface>" "/etc/init.d/networking restart"
+        (tested working on Ubuntu server and Debian)
+
+    -If airmon-ng doesn't work use "ifconfig <inerface> down" then "iwconfig <interface> mode monitor" and finally
+      "ifconfig <interface> up"
+
+    -To note that "iwconfig" and "ifconfig" are basically equivalent, iwconfig can be used as "iwconfig <interface>"
+      to mask just one interface and it gives more information like the status and mode (managed, monitor)
+
+    -To fix arduino permissions "ls -la /dev/tty*" and see which group TTYs are in, then add yourself to that group:
+      "usermod -a -G examplegroup exampleusername" source in: https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-user-to-a-group-or-second-group-on-linux/
+      or just use "$USER" to add current user
+
+    -Who are you? "whoami"
+
+    -Where am I? "groups"
+
+    -To add executables you have to add them to your $PATH, example: "export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"
+      "https://askubuntu.com/questions/322772/how-do-i-add-an-executable-to-my-search-path"
+      or from "https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3809/how-can-i-make-a-program-executable-from-everywhere"
+      quote "If you just type export PATH=$PATH:</path/to/file> at the command line it will only last for the length of the session.
+      If you want to change it permanently add export PATH=$PATH:</path/to/file> (the bin/ folder) to your ~/.bashrc file (just at the end is fine)."
+
+    -To check system logs use "journalctl" (you must have systemctl), some guides:
+      https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Journal
+      https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs
+
+    -https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/
+
+
+    -To create a systemd (systemctl) service (aka how to make a program start at boot):
+      create a file under /etc/systemd/system/ and call it <whatever>.service
+      then follow the formatting {
+      [Unit]
+      Description=PowerTOP auto tune
+
+      [Service]
+      Type=idle                                 # Not necessary
+      Environment="TERM=dumb"                   # Not necessary
+      ExecStart="PATHTOEXECUTABLE --OPTIONS"
+
+      [Install]
+      WantedBy=multi-user.target
+      }
+      And then enable it using "systemctl whatever.service enable", here are some guides and references:
