The author, el_toro_2022, shares their experience in developing a multi-purpose command-line utility using the Elixir programming language. Described as a 'Swiss Army Knife', this tool currently includes features such as obtaining the user's external IP address and its geographical location—particularly handy for VPN users—, suspending the user's computer, and comparing the currently running kernel with the latest installed one, though this functionality is currently limited to Arch Linux. El_toro_2022 is seeking community input to expand this tool with additional features that simplify multi-step command-line operations or provide useful utilities not yet conceived.
