Error message of the week (from nmap)
Install SL, it wont improve either, but it will make you smirk a few times per day.

Just learned today that in 1998, RedHat had a redneck language option (swipe for more images)
My favorite "funny commands" are probably sl(1) (potentially annoying) and this ehm... "magnificent app" (potentially useful)

Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

FzfLua Quickstart: it's never been easier to try out fzf-lua
Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

Is there a way to unravel a filepath based on a known end file?
There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Zsh history syntax highlighting on fzf-history-widget?
I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.
- CLI Item Selection Interface?

I like the Odin programming language
You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.
