Yep!

Apologies

It’s not about looking it up or not, it’s a challenge to the boasting of the commenter above me in the context of the OP’s post.

That already works today.

Very close! -R, either, -R, -r, -r, -r. I typically think “-R except for ssh-related”, but zip violates that and I’m sure there are plenty of other counterexamples too. On the topic of ssh, I still can’t keep -p or -P straight (ssh vs scp).

With ls you can list the contents of directories recursively. Or you can list the contents in reverse order. One of them requires a lowercase “r”, one requires uppercase, but which is which? It’s not such a big deal that different commands have inconsistent syntax, but even having run Linux as my primary OS since 2004, and before that Unix since 1993, I still have to look these up sometimes.

A couple more challenges:

• As an unprivileged user, append multiple lines to a file owned by root, using sudo and a here document.
• Redirect both stdout and stderr to a file using Bourne shell syntax (not bash!)

For recursive behavior, tell me if each of these requires -r or -R (or either) without looking it up (man page, --help, web, etc):

• chown
• cp
• ls
• rsync
• scp
• zip

I love that “Mobile Web” is still larger than “Android” and also larger than “iOS” (usually). Nag screen didn’t work!

Comment could have been a :q!

You just proved his point and don’t even realize it.

Because burner phones have bad cameras.

The PT Cruiser is okay, but the Prowler was better.

No, women can be rapists too.

Currently it’s cheaper to road trip on gas than electric, mainly because NACS supercharging is so expensive, currently around $0.70/kWh for non-Teslas at superchargers. Once the CCS chargers start converting to NACS prices will hopefully fall due to competition. Also gas prices seemed destined to go up more and once they climb to the mid $5’s, electric pulls ahead again. An EV still makes sense overall because for most people most driving is not going to be road trips and so slightly higher costs for a road trip are going to be more than paid for due to local driving but unfortunately right now road trips are not a strength of EVs.

Meanwhile commenter Ken’s on the prowl.

you could at least have linked instead to the business insider article this is ripping off.

The hypocrisy. Here’s that link https://www.businessinsider.com/cargo-thieves-stole-million-of-data-center-supplies-sheriff-says-2026-6

(I’ll mention though that the Vice article is better because the BI article is paywalled.)

Courts have unfortunately already decided it’s all legal, so it’s more of a personal ethical issue now.
