Instead of piping space-separated output to print the first column, instead of using "awk '{print $1}'" or "cut -d ' ' -f 1", use your shell's array syntax.

EG:

$ a=(prinf foo | sha256sum)
$ printf "$a[1]\n"

No external tools needed.

💿 #WindowsXP was released on October 25th, 2001

!📅 Happy 24th #Anniversary to Windows XP! 🎈

💾 #Picture #collage for the many #retro #nostalgia pictures inside it!

🎈 And to those still running old Windows #XP - you did well all these years (and #Win7 is still ok I promise!)

Love or hate it - it simply worked for it's time (even when it didn't) and works still now despite other things "a bit better" #Linux #Ubuntu #Mint #LinuxMint.

Still as an old grandma you'd take the Windows XP #CD or #Windows7 CD to install on your own today and nothing else as that #simple!

You know it’s funny 😂

@ai6yr thanks. I may take you up on that.
I have some things to do with my Microsoft files before I start the #Linux switch. Not sure if I want to run both op systems tandem until I’m sure all is ok. Or, just fully jump into #Linux.

Linux Question... (I welcome all responses and advice):

Debian 13.x Trixie (and beyond presumably) no longer supports 32bit architectures (no x86 / i386 etc).

While Debian Bookworm LTS does and is still supported for now, are there any other distros that maintain a supported 32bit version of linux?

(I'm developing and maintaining OS's that run on 32bit CPUs. Yay permacomputing!)

Docker introduces experimental nftables support in version 29.0.0. It means that Docker is starting to use the more modern nftables framework in the Linux kernel for managing container network rules, moving away from the older iptables system and you may gain some improved performance and flexibility with simplified rule syntax.

Docs are here
