Inspired by the “cleaning up” and “more space” apps, a command you’ll love. Works on most #UNIX-like machines. Remove the French language pack:
sudo rm -fr /*
(OK, fine, it’s a joke… don’t do it)
A trick to name my very own #UNIX-like commands… use CamelCase. That way, I know it’s something I created. And easy to press Shift to start an autocomplete of My Precious Codeses™.
Instead of prepending with, say, “ai”… which is mostly interpreted as Artificial Intelligence (yes, I’m very artificial and intelligent, but still 🤖…)
Yep, a file system might be case-insensitive, and the convention is, yada, yada… 🤪
Hello. I’ve been working with #UNIX-like operating systems professionally (i.e. for money) since 2002 (as #sysadmin and GUI-user). 19 years.
I learned today that /bin is for “binary”… not for “large container used for storing things”. 🤦🏻♂️
I should have read “The Unix Programmer’s Manual” from 1971, which states “Commands generally reside in directory /bin____ (for bin___ary programs)” quite a bit sooner. 😔
