Crime novelist Jim Thompson [Pop.1,280] wrote a novelization of the TV show Ironside.

If that's not esoteric, I don't know what is.

“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language

(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5.. 4.. 3..)

😂 Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).

ifupdown2 has a 15-character interface name limit, and the systemd predictable interface naming system uses the mac address for usb nics (giving them a 15-character name), so if you try to create a vlan subinterface of a usb nic using the standard interface.vlan naming scheme on a systemd host, it will fail, and you'll have to set up systemd network link files to rename the base interfaces to something shorter.
