Not built-in but hstr (https://github.com/dvorka/hstr) and tldr (https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr) are awesome.

Old school quake 1/2/3 news portals! Those were fun. Classic example today would be https://www.quakeworld.nu/

I live in a 3rd world country, worked the last 20 years as systems administrator. Recently lost my job and while looking for a new remote job I have been touched by the hard reality: The world changed and I was full of self leniency, years using the same bash scripts, the same tricks day to day. Did lot of things maintenance, networking, security,databases, mail servers, anti spam. I consider myself capable of put a SMB connected and working. My job didn’t demanded me new skills an I was self indulgent, happy to have enough money for the day.
Some recent job interviews showed me a depressing reality : I did the least, I know the minimum, never upgrade my knowledge, just relied on Google search. I didn’t know about CI, CD, containerization, DevOps in general. I have a B.S in Systems Engineering (Some sort of CS , without the ‘science’ part) enjoyed math and code in college, done tens of websites in WordPress, Joomla and some Drupal, I’m capable of code in Php, some bash, some ruby, some python.
I’m in my mid forties a kid 4 years old and cannot afford to stay worried, I have to do something to land a remote job, I want to thrive and motivated enough to learn, but time is ticking would like to hear some advice.
It seems you nailed exactly what is the problem and what needs to be done or learned. You have more or less ideal background to jump into these tools, it's just matter of spending some time and considering your experience it will take less than for most of people. You'll be ok.
You can always deploy/update (remotely via Ansible or something else) custom hosts file on their workstations.

First sentence: "I have a lot of dumb ideas."
One of us! One of us!
I haven't added any new interviews recently. I might get back to doing them soon but based on my mailing list stats I'm not sure it's worth the time. Let me you know if you like them though.
