    Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

    When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

    I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”

    ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.

    Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.

    It's even worse than tar.

    GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.

    It's also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?

    A more complex but more commonly used program is rsync

    rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive is treated differently than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/ which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive/

    It's a great tool for making copies onto drives, even servers. But man you have to double check how each folder path is laid out, otherwise it'll write the files of one folder to the main drive, unorganized.

    If they know Regex, assume you are in Sarumans tower and held captive until a hawk comes in.
