A file can be “summarized” into a short string. That string can be compared with the file again to determine if it’s the same file. This is often used when downloading a file to check it after the fact. This sort of thing is built into compression software, but using md5sum is way faster/easier because it doesn’t need to put the file in a container and uncompress it to use it.
There are various other programs which do similar things, like sha256sum. These all come with almost all Linux distributions.

Ruby is a true object-oriented programming language renown for its ease for comprehension and maintainability. It can do most of the things other programming languages can do, but the programmer has more fun.
Now at the end of 2016, when I look at my very old notes from 2007 I wonder.. Is Ruby’s hayday over?.

A terminal multiplexer, something like GNU Screen having a baby with Emacs.
I tested this, but I couldn’t figure out what in the heck to do with it.
