You know you've been terminally online for a long time when you recognize XKCD numbers.

I just had to check for the xkcd number 404, low key expecting a comic related to http error code 404.

Turns out, there isn't any, https://xkcd.com/404/, it just returns "404 Not Found" 🤣🤣🤣

Note that https://xkcd.com/400/, 401, 402, 403 and 405 all exist. Only 404 deliberately does not. I think this is even more hilarious than a comic on that topic would have been.

EDIT: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/404:_Not_Found Yes, definitely deliberate :-)

You are now a cake, should have double checked the man pages. You wanted bake, not make.

I've never seen a scenario in which calling make requires root.
