Best practice is not to use raw credentials on the command line because it exposes them in process listings and shell history files.

Sorry sweaty, it’s 2025 and we’re anti-woke now 💅 /s

A bit of a tangent, but I almost never use xargs in the shell anymore, and instead use “while read line ; do *SOMETHING* $line ; done”, because xargs doesn’t have access to the shell’s local variables, aliases, or functions.

For instance, a change to a network interface config on Windows usually takes effect when you hit the “OK” button. Linux requires toggling the interface for that change to take effect.

That’s not a Linux thing so much as a your particular Linux distribution thing. Different Linuxes can have vastly different user interfaces for various things. Some distributions even go out of their way to be more similar to Windows.

Yes, because that is origin of the term. It came from Japanese motorcycle & car customization.

Creating a backronym for a term doesn’t absolve it of its racist roots.

Please report posts & comments that make use of the term on lemmy.ml; we remove them.

Yeah GNU’s info pages are often more detailed than the man pages.

I doubt anyone has ever regretted spending some time familiarizing themselves with the POSIX, util-linux, and GNU coreutils commands. You can do a lot by just piping these (mostly) simple tools together.

That’s because Macs generally use BSD-based command line tools instead of GNU ones. You have to do a lot of Homebrew jiggery-pokery to approximate a GNU environment. Know Your Tools: Linux (GNU) vs. Mac (BSD) Command Line Utilities

I’ve used it in high-throughput production environments to do things that netcats can’t.

The pipe (|), which if you think about it is the basis for function composition.

This is not a Linux topic. Please post something like this to a programming community next time.

OP, please don’t post any more AI slop so I don’t get flooded with reports from users.

Huh, the community edition is Apache 2 licensed. I had assumed it was proprietary freeware.

⸘⸘⸘why?? are!!! you??? like!! this‽‽‽

What if a thing were a different thing from the thing that it is???

Your boos mean nothing; I’ve seen what makes you cheer: staged revenge porn.
