Note to self: Windows REALLY needs to get rsync integrated with their version of openSSH

@misk94555 USB over IP is worth looking at too.

Standalone nodes may need power tho

Historically more active on SO, but recently branching out more to a few SE sites 👋
I saw unix.SE recommended shellcheck for a few tags and thought that was a great idea to raise awareness of popular codified helpers, so I made a couple similar edits on superuser:
https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/1279841
https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/1279839
I figured they were similarly helpful edits, so I'm admittedly a bit confused on the discrepancy between the reviews

Also trying to retag some questions since [mac] and [macos] seem heavily mixed up, but those got rejected:
https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/1279835
https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/1279836
Should I avoid touching anything else while retagging, so the focus of the edit is more straightforward?

Journeyman Geek

hmm

I vaguely recall OSX/Macos tags were a pain in the past

Well, reviews are to an extent subjective

I don't think personally including the helpers is useful since they don't directly impact the topicality of the tag, and if the helper website breaks its dead weight

Pat Myron

@JourneymanGeek For context, both tools are GPL-licensed and maintained for at least a decade, so the advice should hold even if the hosted web interfaces break, but fair point that it could potentially need a URL edit sometime in the future

Information like that ideally belongs in an answer

the tag wiki is meant to tell people how to use the tag, not the tool

(My opinion as a long time SU more than as a mod. As a mod, I feel like these should be questions for meta :D)

to clarify, are tag wiki standards site-specific or network-wide? Got the idea from other network sites:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bash
https://stackoverflow.com/tags/sh/info

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bash
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/shell

I'd say site specific is safer

we don't exactly have a common network standard, though we try to apply common sense
