The title of this article brings to mind an imaginary platform game with controls so complex you have to have three browser tabs of instructions open to play it.

I am hopeful that the page will have a screenshot, when I am able to access it.

Can’t load the link, but I’m intimately familiar with Greg’s wiki. It’s been around for ages and a very great resource for Bash arcana.

This and https://wiki.bash-hackers.org , #bash on irc (libera now) helped me tremendously on writing hardened scripts in production.

nice thanks for sharing!

I often see your "related" comment at the top of these posts and they mostly seem to match what shows up when you click "past". Would it make sense to automatically add a prominent link to the most recent or most commented on post in the header so you wouldn't have to copy & paste the links as comments?

There are a lot of differences—you just have to squint to see them. I think a better solution would be software to let the community collaborate on building a related-links list. That could also naturally expand to including related URLs to articles on the same topic, even if they didn't get a previous HN conversation.
