I will simply Google this next time I need it
What makes Google search useful is articles like this not the opposite.
Like those AI fans. Why a website if I can ask AI? :/
As a German, it’s always fun to use the
ss
command. The SS was the organization that did most of the genocide under Hitler. That’s a bad name around here, so people are always surprised that a command is named that.But what’s even more fun is that we can memorize the standard set of flags as
-tulpn
, because it’s basically spelled+pronounced like “Tulpen”, which is German for tulips.So, occasionally I get to tell people to type “SS-tulips” into their terminal and it always confuses the hell out of them. 🙃
I think most Americans think of that as well. It’s even the first several Google search results for “ss”. Bad name choice.
Though we (Americans) didn’t get the fun “tulip” bit.
There’s so many poor names in FOSS but people refuse to change them out of attachment for history. One other example comes to mind: Gimp.
Basically, devs are terrible at naming things.
Unique and Bad names are very memorable
Like WSUS for patching windows machines, very sus indeed :)
