    External dependencies? Meh. Is my script calling python3 -m http.server a Bash web server, then? Real programmers write web servers using only Bash builtins!

    written entirely in Bash
    ...
    Dependencies

    • either Ncat (not openbsd-nc, not netcat, not nc) or socat, or a combo of both

    This may be the most egregious offender yet. I love/hate it.

        It's more of an influx of Tildes posts specifically due to one person's mission to post some new Bash oddity every day. Based on the dates in the various repos associated with these posts many of these projects have been around for years.

        Depending on the day and the specifics of the oddity found the posts can get some decent traction. Bash is not particularly well suited to what people are doing with it in a lot of these posts, which can make it amusing to spectate the chaos someone else has devised.

          One of the main consequences of a small userbase. Its not always a negative as some small communities are propped up by great contributors but it's often abused.
