This happened in my mailbox today. FD means "full disclosure" and is
publicly available mailing list.
I repost onto misc because if this is a real cat, seems it is out of
the bag already. Other than being subscribed to FD, I have no

Yep. I admit I am unceremonial when dealing with my own systems. And I
am not sure if I would f
ike a charm,
always like a charm (if you ask me - a real gem of a software).
I also like dired-mode in Emacs, but for this to work, one has to like
Emacs. Actually, one has to love Emacs. "Like" is not enough in this
case.

I am writing this from ParrotOS (Debian derivative) and since I am
avid user of bash, I can do "man bash-builtins" and it prints me a
very nice looking summary. Bash package version is 5.1-2+deb11u1,
which probably means 5.1 with some Debian-specific addons.

The OP complained his dump w
