`cp -rT` command in Linux is used to copy the contents of a source directory into a destination directory, rather than copying the source directory itself. It recursively (-r) copies all files and subdirectories while treating the destination as a target directory (-T) to avoid creating a nested directory structure.

@FairB Beim Telefonat gestern mit dem Facharzt teilte er mir mit, dass der Arztbrief und die Untersuchungsergebnisse im meiner ePA hochgeladen worden sei.

Da ich ja diesem bullshit widersprochen hatte war ich doch etwas irritiert. Daher meine Frage hier nach Details. Aber Danke für den #RTFM Hinweis!

EVERYTHING is "broken" until you use it right.

This is a #RTFM toot.

Most teams don’t lack documentation tools—they lack usable content. Wikis become clutter. Issue trackers turn into chat logs. Docs get outdated, too long, or miss key info—blocking onboarding and decisions.

@ElmarDott breaks down how to fix that: https://javapro.io/2026/05/05/rtfm-usable-documentation/

📖 RTFM — et si c'était le meilleur conseil qu'on puisse donner ?
Nouveau billet de blog : pourquoi on fuit la documentation alors qu'elle contient presque toujours la réponse ? Comment la lire efficacement ? Et pourquoi documenter ses propres projets, c'est essentiel — pour soi, pour les autres, pour l'open source.
La réponse est dans la doc. Neuf fois sur dix.

3rd Party Provider for a mutual client got in touch regarding setting up a feature in a system they support

Them: "We can't get this configured, could you take a look?"
Me: takes look, gets same error, reads the documentation of the software product, finds out why, enable required settings "I was getting the same error, but then I read the documentation and we need to set these options..."
Them: "Oh, that's a nice find!"

It's effectively their documentation! They are the support provider for the product! IT WAS NOT A NICE FIND, IT WAS WRITTEN RIGHT THERE IN SIMPLE WORDS

Seems that way, yeah.

Fortunately, there's always #FreeBSD + #RTFM! 😄

@kalvin0x8d0 sure and do no caching , bear full compute cost , and maintain a containerized build for any language , as a system service to run that job, an dcheck its log , then #RTFM n times and spend another 5 years in self inflicted pain , call it occupational hazard
