#FP_Quick_Tip: You can add an alias to your Bash to make it accept "please" instead of "sudo" using this command:

$ echo "alias please=\"sudo\"" >> ~/.bashrc

Terminal usage becomes hilarious then ;)
So half the Internet is down due to the Level3/CloudFlare Internet outage. It's not your Wifi connection or local ISP, don't worry.

In the meantime you can watch Star Wars in your terminal:
$ telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Unix Time (Unix Epoch) is the number of seconds since 1st, January 1970. Useful for computer systems to track date without timezones hassle.

Today, Unix Time will reach 1600000000! Here's a countdown:
$ watch -c -n 1 -t 'date && date +"%s" && echo $((1600000000 - $(date +%s)))'
Less than 30 minutes are away from the 1600000000 Unix Epoch :)
