I also misstated what -fv would do, if mistakenly used instead of -vf.
I said it would grep for the letter v, but it would actually look for
a pattern file called v to find its patterns to match.  Sorry for the
confusion.

re #16 
super thanks

re #19
How would you script that?
Hadn't thought of comm

#22 of 37 by kentn on Sun Mar 5 02:00:32 2017:

Here is an example:
  widgets:
    widget1
    widget2
    widget3
    widget8

  widgetlist:
    widget1
    widget2
    widget3
    widget4
    widget5
    widget6
    widget7

  #Print only lines present in both file1 and file2.
  comm -12 widgets widgetlist
  widget1
  widget2
  widget3

  #Print lines in file1 not in file2, and vice versa
  comm -3 widgets widgetlist
          widget4
          widget5
          widget6
          widget7
  widget8

Scripting might include sorting the two lists, but the comm
command itself is pretty easy.

 The Debian package 'moreutils' has a command 'combine' that apparently can
be used for this sort of thing. It's probably available for other systems,
or from source (of course).

`moreutils` is actually the GNU package name. I added it on grex.

often times `less` is `more`

The idea that we must prop up a mentally ill teenage girl as an 
authority on climate science is so fundamentally absurd. 
Then again, she is also being propped up like a climate messiah. 
Does that work for all 16 year old girls? 
Where does one apply to speak to the UN Assembly?

I found her annoying. Doesn't mean she's wrong, though. The
science really is settled; she's just pissed in a weird way
that people don't take that seriously.

It would have been more powerful if Axl Rose said it

#32 of 37 by walkman on Sun Oct 27 21:42:30 2019:

"The science really is settled"

That's quite the contradiction. 
At any rate, now that it's a closed case, it's time to end funding for
climate research.

[Performs a ritual summoning the spirits of Backtalk to return.]

I guess this spirit can appear and make his first ever backtalk post.
I looked through many of the conferences and archives, and I really 
wish backtalk were as active as it once was.

I am curious to see usage stats for grex and backtalk these days.
`last` reveals the same handful of users most times I check it,
 while ps shows that about a dozen non-system accounts have jobs
running.

Also: someone should perhaps write a cron job that kills abandoned
pnewuser processes. There are 34 of them still running going back
to January.

[poof]

I didn't think that would actually work!

"So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people, all those lives, where are they now?
With-a loves and hates and passions just like mine
They were born, and then they lived, and then they died
Seems so unfair, I want to cry" ~ Morrissey
