I think #GNU and other #coreutils implementations should add "disk destroyer" as an alternative name for the program in their manpage just for the lulz.

Disclaimer: I haven't destroyed any disk today (yet, still a few hours left before the day to be declared over)

Why did ubuntu switch from gnu-coreutils to uutils

#Console command of the day: factor

Type in "factor <number>" and you get all the #prime factors of the number.

This command is part of the #GNU #coreutils so if you’re on a GNU/#Linux system, you should already have it.

I just discovered the `od` command. It's a #coreutil .

What is the difference between coreutils-from-uutils and rust-coreutils?

There are two packages in Ubuntu 25.10 that provide the Rust coreutils executables like cat, date, dd, df, du, env, head, ls, rm, rmdir, tail, touch, and many more. These are meant to be a drop-in

GNU Coreutils 9.10 Released With Many Improvements

Earlier this week Rust Coreutils 0.6 released while out today is GNU Coreutils 9.10 as the de facto standard for this set of core utilities on Linux systems and other platforms.

While I generally applaud oxidizing stuff... This one is really bad. Yeah, it's fixed upstream, but @ubuntu seems to not care at all? #rust #canonical #coreutils

🤖 Time to refactor! I'm going live from the Low-Level Programming Workbench to clean up my `wc` clone written in Zig. It's a learn-in-public session, so expect some fun detours!
