- Some updates to pacman as I'm going to trying to use Open Build Service which apparently has support for publishing Arch Linux packages. Pretty nice! - Starting to take more notes for Git as I use it beyond the simple commit and push workflow. I mostly use it to create patches for packaging other applications. - Updates for Drawabox.

Command line: cURL
The all-time favorite client-side networking tool for basic stuff. It is seriously one of the best free and open-source tool out there with the plethora of protocols, leading implementation for various protocols such as HTTP3, and a lot of configurable options to fully control your request.
Synopsis
curl [option...] [URL...]
cURL supports creating requests with different protocols.
Among them are HTTP, Gopher, DICT, and simple file.
To see more, you can view the cURL manual page (i.e., man curl.1) and see the protocols section.
