+# Reference Commits Earlier Than Reflog Remembers
+
+While preparing some stats for a recent blog post on [A Decade of
+TILs](https://www.visualmode.dev/a-decade-of-tils), I ran into an issue
+referencing chuncks of time further back than 2020.
+
+```bash
+❯ git diff --diff-filter=A --name-only HEAD@{2016-02-06}..HEAD@{2017-02-06} -- "*.md"
+warning: log for 'HEAD' only goes back to Sun, 20 Dec 2020 00:26:27 -0600
+warning: log for 'HEAD' only goes back to Sun, 20 Dec 2020 00:26:27 -0600
+```
+
+This is because `HEAD@...` is a reference to the `reflog`. The `reflog` is a
+local-only log of objects and activity in the repository. That date looks
+suspiciously like the time that I got this specific machine and cloned the
+repo.
+
+In order to access this information, I need a different approach of finding
+references that bound these points in time.
+
+How about asking `rev-list` for the first commit it can find before the given
+dates in 2017 and 2016 and then using those.
+
+```bash
+❯ git rev-list -1 --before="2017-02-07 00:00" HEAD

+# Uninstall LogiTech G Hub From Mac
+
+I rarely uninstall software from my Mac. And unless the software is nice enough
+to provide a clear 'Uninstall' flow, it is not straightforward how to do it. In
+fact, it probably varies quite a bit from app to app.
+
+In the case of LogiTech's G Hub, I was able to find the following instructions
+for uninstalling it. The thing of note is that the updater app can take an
+`--uninstall` flag.
+
+```bash
+sudo /Applications/lghub.app/Contents/MacOS/lghub_updater.app/Contents/MacOS/lghub_updater --uninstall
+```
+
+I still had to remove the app launcher from my `Applications` directory.

+# Get Word Count For All Files In Git Repo
+
+As part of gathering numbers for [A Decade of TILs](), I wanted to get an word
+count of all the TIL markdown files I've committed to this project over its 10
+year history. By using `git ls-files` with a pattern, I can get a list of all
+file names. Then with `xargs` I can pass that entire list to `wc -w` which
+gives a word count of each. The final line that `wc -w` outputs is a sum total
+of all the file word counts. Lastly, piping that through `tail -n1` gives me
+just that last total count line.
+
+```bash
+$ git ls-files "*/**.md" | xargs wc -w | tail -n1
+  206816 total
+```
+
+Since the `tail -n1` obfuscates what the `wc -w` is doing, here is what that
+looks like before that final pipe.
+
+```bash
+$ git ls-files "*/**.md" | tail -n3 | xargs wc -w
+     115 zsh/add-to-the-path-via-path-array.md
+     190 zsh/link-a-scalar-to-an-array.md
+     214 zsh/use-a-space-to-exclude-command-from-history.md
+     519 total
+```
+
+I can even clean up the final output a bit more with `awk`:
+
+```bash
+$ git ls-files "*/**.md" | xargs wc -w | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}'
+206816

+# Limit Protocols Used In A cURL Command
+
+I was about to install [`atuin`](https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin). I went to
+their _Quick Start_ section to grab whatever command I would need to install
+it. It was a `curl` statement piped to `sh`. The thing that caught my attention
+though was I `curl` flag that I didn't recognize — `--proto`.
+
+> Tells curl to limit what protocols it may use for transfers.
+
+Using `curl --proto '=https' ...` we can enforce that only an `https` URL can
+be used in this command.
+
+Here is what happens if I try to run the `atuin`-provided `curl` command after
+I have downgraded their URL to be `http`:
+
+```bash
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf http://setup.atuin.sh | sh
+curl: (1) Protocol "http" not supported or disabled in libcurl
+```
+
+It doesn't even attempt the request. The protocol is considered unsupported and
+the command immediately fails.
+
+In addition to only installing software we trust, we should make sure we are
+only doing so over a protocol we trust (namely, `https`).
+
+See `man curl` for more details, including about the modifiers (`=`, `+`, `-`).
