du@50km.com
- zucked 5y agoThis doesn't make any sense to my terminal. I think your domain is supposed to be 50km, but my terminal thinks its ku.cou.
- legerdemain 5y agoThat's because the poster probably thought that `tr` works like `sed`, replacing the string "spam" with the string "du" to produce their email address, du@50km.com. That's not what `tr` does. It replaces each letter S-P-A-M with the letter in the same position in the string D-U. Because "du" is shorter than "spam," `tr` just reuses U for letters 3 and 4. So the mapping is S->D, P->U, A->U, M->U, making "spam@50km.com" into "duuu@50ku.cou," and the -s flag then compresses multiple repeated U's into one. Lesson: don't be too clever.

- legerdemain 5y agoWhat, elementary proficiency at the Linux command line of the kind that's exercised by boys playing with computers in middle school? I'd like to think the peak is somewhere higher.
- prepend 5y ago> Lesson: don't be too clever. A few other lessons from this: 1) test your scripts, 2) be clever enough, 3) email obfuscation stopped working in 2000 for preventing spam, 4) handle spam at your receipt
