because zsh
I swapped out ~
-> $HOME
. In addition to some permission denied that you always get find
ing over the home dir, I get these weird hits:
find "$HOME" -type l -exec /bin/sh /path/to/the/script "/path/to/target/dir" {} +
/home/user/.konan/dependencies/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc-8.3.0-glibc-2.19-kernel-4.9-2/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64/libatomic.so
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xxx000xx.someprofile/chrome/dir/file.css
lib atomic is something I've heard of vaguely but certainly not anything I use. I couldn't identify any way this file was doing anything outside the ~/.konan
dir.
the CSS files there were a few different ones in a couple different Firefox profiles. it's the user customization. But I don't think it should have anything to do with the directory I was asking for.
If I give it a bit more of a hint, telling to look in ~/.config
specifically, now I get some (but not all) the links I expect.
find "$HOME/.config" -type l -exec /bin/sh /path/to/the/script "/path/to/target/dir" {} +
/home/user/.config/dir02
/home/user/.config/dir01/subdir/file
/home/user/.config/dir01/subdir2/file2
And suggesting it searches in the .konan
dir where it found lib atomimc, it now doesn't find anything.
find "$HOME/.konan" -type l -exec /bin/sh /path/to/the/script "/path/to/target/dir" {} +
Could be all kinds of things getting the way. Different versions of relevant tools, filesystems/setups, permissions...
Technology has really slowed down a lot since that time. There is less public investment and corporations sure as shit aren't going to finance all their own R&D. So why bother?
There's no virtue in needlessly cycling through new devices all the time just to satisfy one's own emotions.
