Linode dynamic DNS updating script
#!/bin/bash
# Modified by Chris Richardson (https://github.com/christr and https://twitter.com/christr77) on 09/20/2020
# Previous versions of this script don't work because they hadn't been updated since 2012. There are now more steps involved to set this up.
# This script update is based on information found here: https://developers.linode.com/api/v4/domains-domain-id-records-record-id/#put
# You first must find out the domain ID and resource ID numbers. In order to do this follow the steps below.
# 1. Create a Linode API Key through your account profile at https://cloud.linode.com/dashboard. Give it rights to read/write to domains only.
# 2. From a shell run the following command: LINODE_API_KEY=[insert API key from step 1 here]
# 3. Run the following command to get the domain ID number for the domain you want to manage: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINODE_API_KEY" https://api.linode.com/v4/domains/

How easy it would be to do Responsive Images in HTML and CSS if https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/attr worked.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
img:after { content: attr(data-small url); }
@media screen and (min-width:400px) {
img:after { content: attr(data-medium url); }
}

Bits to add to wp-config.php to make things sane when developing in a real development system (local > stage > live) instead of developing directly on a live server. Which is what WP is set up to do and which is ridiculous.
/* Lets not rely on paths in the database, they can be very wrong when moving between dev/stage/live environments */
/* The following two variables are backward to my thinking, but hey, what ya gonna do? */
define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . ''); // This is NOT the 'wordpress admin area' home, but the site's home
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/SECRETDIRECTORY'); // This isn't the site's URL but the WordPress admin area URL
/* MySQL settings */
switch($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']){
// Your local machine's settings
case 'mysite.local':
define('DB_NAME', 'dev_mysite');
