1.13 and 1.14 are lumped together in this doc, you're on your own if you just want to go to 1.13 and not 1.14, for some reason.

Things in Advance

ResourceLocation now throw on non-snake-case names instead of silently lowercasing for you, so you probably should go and change all those string constants now. More precisely, domains must only contain alphanumeric lowercase, underscore (_), dash (-), or dot (.). Paths have the same restrictions, but can also contain forward slashes (/).

I'm getting adverts in my TV's UI, help!

Samsung's otherwise excellent 2016 range of UHD TVs received an update that added advertisements to the UI. This has been complained about at great length on Samsung's forums and repeatedly, Samsung have refused to add an option to remove them.

The ads interrupt the clean UI of the TV and are invasive. Here's an example of how they look:

Job Control in ZSH and Bash

All processes in ZSH/Bash under job control are in 3 states: foregrounded, backgrounded and suspended.

# run command in the foreground
command
# run commend in the background

Start your rethinkdb instance with this flag: --bind all (or bind=all in the configuration file for your instance)

Block external access to the web UI with these two commands: sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP sudo iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

Install nginx: sudo apt-get install nginx

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
