That's a rather broad claim. There is so many different variations non alcoholic beer nowadays.

Re:MD5 Implemented in Bash on Monday June 29, 2026 @09:37AM (#48719136)
Dave from the YouTube channel You Suck At Programming implemented the MD5 algorithm in pure Bash.
It is nice for a basic port knocking as well.

   timeout 5s bash -c "echo >/dev/tcp/google.com/443" && echo "port open" || echo "port closed"
This uses the timeout command from coreutils though, so it is not a pure bash implementation.

Try running traceroute against the bad.horse address for a chuckle.

EDIT: You probably to increase the maximum hop count for it to fully work.

An engineer at my work literally designed the processor architecture that lives in our products but he is more or less computer illiterate.

This saved me a ton of time when I had to migrate id ownership of files in ancient NFS shares.

The latter one but it is grouped by the user manually.

Will they ever introduce tab groups? It seems to be a highly requested feature.

I guess you could also spin up a OpenBSD server running SSH and use that as a jump host.

Re:OpenSubtitles is not open anymore on Thursday November 16, 2023 @09:30AM (#38289926)
Reminds me of the excellent Swedish website undertexter.se which was a community based site for Swedish subtitles. The owner of the site was convicted for copyright infringement. It is a sad world we live in.
Same for "duck jump" or "crouch jump" as well (which was technique used to move more silently).

As long as Azure isn't down.
Well this is saving me a ton of time as I'm basically migrating UID ownership of files for NFS shares that dates back to the 90's. According to my rough benchmarks between find and fd, fd is ~3 times faster.

Would it make sense to create a utils package with all these new rust based utilities? Something like "rustutils" with a resemblance to "coreutils".
It is written in Rust and not Ruby.
