Only last night did I realise BLK means block as in block device

so ls blk is ls for block devices, and blkid means block device IDs as in blk id

I learned that the G in GNU stands for GNU.

Yeah i just recently realized the bin directories in linux meant binaries. I was thinking about it like a bin, like throw the programs in the program bin. But yeah binary makes way more sense.
>>
>>54590854
Whoa i didn't know that. I run lsblk all the time but yeah i had no idea what it meant.

The Japanese word for technology starts with a g sound. I forget what it is off the top of my head, but that's where it came from. The word for weapon starts with a k sound, too, same thing.

.bin = binary, .dat = data. Both can represent literally anything.

I eat a lot of Steak and order it Well Done (Heresy, I know).
I was asked recently why I dont eat it medium, and I said I didn't eat Red Meat.

In all these years Ive been alive, Ive always thought Red Meat meant that the meat was Red...

Wrong.
.bin can only hold binary data.
.dat can hold both binary and ASCII data.

What the fuck man... have you never tried rare or medium rare steak?

How can anyone prefer their steak well done? It's like preferring to drink orange juice right after you've brushed your teeth.

No, you retarded monkey. Godaddy stole the original domain name because of "questionable content" found on /g/ and /l/. Actual pedos infested /l/ with 3DPD so they both went away. Later /g/ became techloli/g/y because mods didn't pay attention to /g/ at all.
