# i386 vs i686
i386 and i686 are both part of the x86 family of processors. They just refer to the specific age of the processor platform. i386 is an older platform (early 90s?) used back when 386 processors were used in machines. Then this was upgraded to 486 processors, which was the same basic instruction set as 386 just faster and newer. 586 was another upgraded and was when the term Pentium started floating around. Eventually all of these got encapsulated into the x86 architecture name. i686 just refers to the 6th generation of x86 architecture.
For all intents and purposes i386 and i686 are the same thing, just that i686 is a lot newer. They will have some additional instruction sets, but will be backwards compatible with i386. I would venture a guess that all of the processes you find today that use x86 would be classified as i686 processors.
x86 refers to a processor family. x86_64 is different than x86 (it is the 64 bit brother of x86). There are also Alpha processors, Sparc, ARM, PPC. These all refer to different processor families.
If you are installing an OS and a CPU is from the x86_64 processor family, then you cannot install an ARM based OS on that hardware.
Intel released the following processors on the dates shown
June 8, 1978 - 8086
February 1982 - 80286
October 17, 1985 - Intel386™ DX Processor <- this was the first i386
June 16, 1988 - Intel386™ SX Processor
April 10, 1989 - Intel486™ DX Processor
March 22, 1993 - Intel® Pentium® Processor <- sometimes referred to as i586
November 1, 1995 - Intel® Pentium® Pro Processor
May 7, 1997 - Intel® Pentium® II Processor <- I think this was the first of the i686
February 26, 1999 - Intel® Pentium® III Processor

November 20, 2000 - Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor

How to Check if your email address is in a data breach ?
You can check if your data has been leaked and put on the dark web from one of the data breaches happened before.
1. https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/
2. https://monitor.firefox.com/
3. https://haveibeenpwned.com/
If you found that your emails has been pawned or leaked then do this.
- 1. Immediately change password of your mail account
- 2. Add 2fa layer to protect password
- 3. Use one of the best password manager and save your passwords locally encrypted. eg. KeepassXc.

Whenever a compile fails with a missing file simply leverage the infrastructure to search for the missing ubuntu package
which returns with
this technique works across any missing file
On a fresh OS if you issue
it will fail with error
The program 'apt-file' is currently not installed. To run 'apt-file' please ask your administrator to install the package 'apt-file'
which just means you need to do a one time setup of the local search cache so just run

apt-file search some_missing_file_goes_here # cmd 1 apt-file search X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h # cmd 1which returns with

so solution is to install that missing packagesudo apt-get install libxcomposite-dev # cmd 2this technique works across any missing file

How to easily download videos from Youtube as mp3!
This is just a little script I made. It's nothing special.
​
Depends on youtube-dl and id3v2
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Music
read -p 'Link: ' link
read -p 'Title of the song: ' title
read -p 'Artist of the song: ' artist
read -p 'Album: ' album
youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 -o ~/Music/"$title.%(ext)s" $link
id3v2 -t "$title" -a "$artist" -A "$album" "$title".mp3
tell me what you think about it
