This article is garbage. Nowhere in it does it substantiate the claim in the title. The best you get is this speculation from a "scientist" presenting no evidence: You probably want to have a period where the auditory system

To me this seems like a bit of a strawman argument. The claim was never that using obscurity is bad and should be avoided. As I first heard it, "Security through obscurity is not security" is saying that if you are relying on obsc

If you use brew or macports you can install the coreutils package and then you're good to go with gnu find. I also use MacOS and I have setup the gnu userland on my local so it matches the linux environment on our servers and container
