#shellscripting
Exercise to the reader: write a shell script to detect which utility is this fess talking about. #shellscripting #bash
RE: mastodon.social/users/fesshole…
In 2008 I wrote a networking utility program for Linux. It's still maintained and used. Take the first letter of every sentence in its (rather long) man page and it spells "Never gonna give you up" etc etc. Nobody has ever mentioned it.

tinyurl.com/MIMEcroft gets 90fps@4K in BASH transpiling to JS, e.g.
for i in `seq 1 999`;do if echo $((i*i))|grep 1337>/dev/null;then echo #$I;fi;done
->
for(let i=1;i<=999;i++){if(String(i*i).includes("1337")) {process.stdout.write(i+"\n");}}

If you’re writing shell scripts, start adding this:

set -euo pipefail

It forces your script to:
• Exit on errors
• Fail on unset variables
• Catch broken pipes

Small line. Big reliability boost.
