Measure compressed request size with curl, gzip and wc

To measure gzip sizing for a request, you don’t need to actually gzip it, just use pipe | to pipe the stream from curl to gzip to wc :

# before gzip
$ curl https://www.paddingleft.com | wc -c
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

   57847

# after gzip
$ curl https://www.paddingleft.com | gzip | wc -c
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 57848    0 57848    0     0   111k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  110k
   10443

As you can see, before gzip it’s 57847 bytes, after gzip it’s 10443 bytes.

Measure file size after gzip

You could do same things to measure a file gzip sizing by gzip with -c option, so it won’t actually gzip it.

When creating fixed navigation bar with padding, we got :

1
2
3

position: fixed;
width: 100%;
padding: 15px;

However you will find padding-right disappear, the reason is the width is window width + padding-left + padding-right. It is exceed the window, to fix it just use width: calc(100% - 30px) to reduce the width

position: fixed;
width: calc(100% - 30px);
padding: 15px;

To find ports status on windows, there is a default Windows GUI - Resource Monitor or you could use netstat via command prompt.

Today When I connect to Windows through Remote Desktop Viewer got error connecting to host prompt.
After searching the solution is to remove the server I’m having issue in $home/.freerdp/known_hosts and reconnecting again.

[[email protected] ~]$ vi ~/.freerdp/known_hosts
# In Vim, remove the line start with server ip you are connecting to by `dd`, and `:wq` to save the file.
