So the "Terms of Service & Privacy" link doesn't work, and apparently it's a paid subscription service but you don't find that out until you've signed up and tried activating an API key?

I'm sure these are just oversights but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth!

I’ll save some clicking: $4/month. But, yeah, not idea what TOS or privacy policy is.

    oh-heck "Bring up the network interface. Goddamit Linux where did ifconfig go? Why do you have to NIH everything?"

busybox still has a simplified ifconfig.

Tbf, 'ip addr' is even easier to remember as far as I'm concerned

'ip a' works too

I was so happy when I discovered this. As a UNIX and Linux user for my entire career I was so surprised that something built into every Cisco, Juniper, Arista etc etc network device wasn't built into many cli tools on Linux.

I know I can create aliases and whatnot, but I'm a consultant, when I was still hands on with the tools I'd log into 30+ different customer's environments every year. Many were isolated from the Internet and whilst I did carry my dotfiles around on a USB (Along with some binaries of useful tools that are so often lacking on enterprise systems) I couldn't always use them.

How would one add this if it's missing?

I aliased ifconfig to this:

   echo "Local IPs: " 
   ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'
   systemd-resolve --status | grep -A 2 Servers | sed 's/\ //g'
   ip route show
   curl --silent ipinfo.io | grep -E '\"ip|hostname|city' | sed 's/\"//g'

Hope this helps

It's not even that the "Terms of Service & Privacy" link doesn't work, it's that it's not even a link. It's a div that sorta behaves like a link. Shady af.
