who's idea was it to name new netstat / sockstat tool in #Linuxss?
yes, it's as short as ip, but also, in lots of Europe, there was an organization a few decades ago by the name of SS that turned out to be fairly unpopular…
@meena could be worse, could have been a vc funded startup drunk on funding paying over a million dollars to a branding firm only to get what really looked liked two lighting bolts side by side ;)...
@meena Living in Austria, and having learned quite a lot about the NS regime, as well as about the horrible things their SS did, I didn't assiciate the Linux command with it so far... probably because it's all lowercase letters 🧐
@cks@meena This silly fixation is still around for sure. I once saw a video about Chevrolet SS, where some idiot commented "SS means DEATH!" The only answer is "lol silly eutoweenie, kiss my ass".
