New post: shell tricks that aren't exactly secret, but aren't always taught either.
Split into two sections: what works on any POSIX sh (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine...) and what's Bash/Zsh-specific. Because not everyone is on Linux with bash as their login shell.
Things like CTRL+W, $_, pushd/popd, fc, set -euo pipefail caveats, and more.

Shell Tricks That Actually Make Life Easier (And Save Your Sanity)
Watch someone backspace 40 characters instead of pressing CTRL+W, and you’ll understand why this list exists. A collection of shell tricks-grouped by what works everywhere and what’s Bash/Zsh-speci...Christian Hofstede-Kuhn (Larvitz Blog)

They want to create fear. if you talk against them they can send the police or their supporters to your home because they know exactly who you are. This has nothing to do with kids. If it did, many AI apps would have been shut down a long time ago when they started 'undressing' women and deepfakes. Yet those apps are online

These two are seemingly at odds, but in reality what it suggests is that there are distinct identity domains that we need to solve for - public and private, and we haven't.
We need zkp public identity yesterday

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •there is some truth to the issues with bots or AI based spam, but then again, companies are firing competent software devs/IT staff & still expecting everything to work perfectly
the solution to these AI bots is regulation. they've 3/4 companies that all these bottom feeders use for spamming via API. It isn't that hard to fix the problem but governments are too busy with throwing dirt at each other these days & for profit social media want to tag everyone with ID so they can market you better

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •I have been involved in a very few real crises.
The first thing that management did was reach down through levels to get to the cognizant engineer and bring that person into a corner office.
They want the straight shit...they want it now....
They want "how"..."why"...and "who"...
They don't want "I think".
Sometimes crises happen even after substantially controlled development and testing.
When the crisis or issue comes, having been through that process enables you to know the nature of the problem and what can / needs to be done to address it.
So...
Who do you call?
How do you know even where to start?
