@davidgerard@circumstances.run @pndc@social.treehouse.systems look, please don't ban me outright: people in this space must learn a lot of things the hard way, and sometimes something like bash is simply not present.

@fractalolivia@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run Command-line shells are always available unless the system is so locked-down that you cannot be expected to do useful ops work with it. "bash" is sloppy shorthand usage: it's the de facto default on Linux and is extremely common but not universal on other Unix systems, and the meaning is not that you are an expert on bash per se, but know how to use it to drive the various other Unix tools. For people being paid to do ops on Windows rather than Unix, "bash" is merely a nice-to-have, but I would expect them to know their way around PowerShell.
