  • Me and my mother were looking into this because of a random discussion about dating systems and her time in the Navy; an interesting thing about the Julian calendar is that one of its date forms (ordinal) is still in somewhat-common use by the US military; just with the Gregorian leap days added in. So today’s date could be rendered as 25359 (2025 day #359).




  • Small pedantic correction, but you can’t preface every command with sudo; only executables can be invoked with sudo as it can’t elevate your current shell. Naturally, the way to execute non-executables such as builtin routines as root is to just spawn into a root shell with sudo su.
