@simontatham @castaway The reason for replacing ifconfig with ip is that the command syntax for the former can't request a lot configuration the latter can (because it was written for that purpose).

@fanf @simontatham @castaway I haven't looked closely at the BSDs, but the ip syntax is still more logical and more easily extended when needed. Personally, I prefer it even though it meant getting used to a new thing.

Why is this coming up now though? It's been 20 years.

@dalias @piegames Is there a URL for this?

@anon_opin See also, football.

@CorioPsicologia Es un anagrama de Hitler Pete.

@clacke Good luck to them, but I suspect by now nothing could possibly live up to the nostalgia-fuelled expectations of fans.

@TimWardCam @anon_opin Where do you keep them?

@clacke I can't recall ever hearing that variant.

@clacke Did you grow a beard?

@botvolution @anon_opin Can you get one if you don't have a fixed a address?

@Mojarrison @fanta ¿Se podrían combinar de alguna manera?

@anon_opin Is that what the seashells are for?

@clacke It's very common in British English. Also for letters.

@clacke How about "id est" and "exempli gratia"?

@clacke @loke Mine is similar to this one. The exact model seems to have been discontinued in the ~20 years since I bought it.

@clacke @loke @notclacke Tin openers can be found here in England. Potato peelers are a different matter.

@notclacke That's because cheese slicers are rare outside of Scandinavia.

@dalias @Mer__edith I'd prefer it without the cryptocurrency bullshit too.

@Avitus @dalias @Mer__edith Any association with cryptocurrency is suspicious.

@davidaugust I see, it was Marx Martin who wrote that song.
