Nginx: how to set default server
August 01, 2016
Sometimes it's conveniently to set up default server, that gonna try to serve request by default. Originally, if your server got a request by IP address (for example) and can't get any requested hostname, it takes first server description from your config and tries to serve request with this server.
You can change this behavior. It's really easy. Just use default_server parameter, like this. 
server {
    listen      80 default_server;
    server_name example.net www.example.net;
    ...
}

How to check GMail inbox from command line
August 01, 2016
First of all we have to create an application password here.
Then, create bash script like this one: 
#!/bin/bash

# crontab example line
# */4 * * * * /home/username/check-gmail.sh 

export DISPLAY=:0

username="your-email@gmail.com"
password="your-app-password"

/usr/bin/curl -u $username:$password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | \
  grep -oPm1 "(?<=<title>)[^<]+" | sed '1d' | \
  while read line; do 
    /usr/bin/notify-send -i xfce-newmail "You've got new mail!" "$line" -t 5000
  done
After that, you can add this script to your cron using crontab -e. As you see, notify-send is used here to display system notification (XFCE, in my case) for each new mail received, in your case you can change that in the way you like.
Original note here.
