It sounds dangerously like “bind”, so that might introduce some confusion in a circle that is accustomed to “bin”.

It sounds dangerously like “bind”, so that might introduce some confusion in a circle that is accustomed to “bin”.
- asxd 6y agoI'm mostly a casual linux user, so honestly asking, why is sounding like "bind" dangerous? -- edit: A quick search turned up the `bind` command to bind a name to a socket. That makes sense.
- aksss 6y agoI was thinking more about the bind dns server when I made the comment, but yeah. Just thinking that verbally referring to the “bine” folder might cause confusion in certain contexts, where “bin” pronunciation avoids it entirely.
- defaultcompany 6y agoAlso BIND is the Berkeley internet name daemon aka DNS server.
