And now, a nifty little Linux command that generates a random string of characters:

< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9-_ | head -c24

The number following “-c” is how many characters to generate. An example string that the command generates:

hdpup4EcpfSI_9ixBH5_WIIK

Yes, this is part of what I’ve been doing this afternoon. My name is Charles, and I’m a nerd.
