Switch Keys in Ubuntu
My escape key stopped working. I don’t use the caps lock key much, so I changed capslock to function as escape key.
sudo vi /etc/default/keyboardFind the line that starts with XKBOPTIONS and modify it to include caps:escape:
XKBOPTIONS="caps:escape"Reboot the computer.

Fetch as Google with curl
A hacked web site got hacked. The site listed on google SERP with text “There are essentially two prescribed drugs which viagra 200mg”.
When you visit the site in the browser and check the source, you see everything normal, no text related to Viagra. This is because malware on the site only shows that content to Google bot.
To see the malware inserted text, you can use Fetch as Google tool in your Google webmaster center. But before using the fetch as Google tool, you need to verify ownership of the site.
Another way is to change your browsers user agent to same as Google bot
Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)You can see list of user agents used by google at
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1061943?hl=en
To Fetch as site as google using curl, run
curl --user-agent "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" https://your-site-here.extnBack to curl

G Suite TLS Negotiation failed, the certificate doesn’t match the host
When sending email from G Suite email account, email bounce with following error message
TLS Negotiation failed, the certificate doesn't match the host
This is because the G Suite Gmail account have Route configured and the SMTP server configured have no valid SSL.
Solution
You can install a valid SSL on your mail server or disable the TLS checking. To disable TLS checking, go to
G Suite Admin > Apps > G Suite > Gmail > Hosts
On this page, you will see your routes (remote SMTP servers). Edit the one you are using
You need to disable the check box “Require mail to be transmitted via a secure (TLS) connection (Recommended)”.
It is better get SSL fixed. If your mail server use a differnt SSL, just change server name in that page.
