      I mean from their perspective, they would call the ‘base’ we use ‘22’. Unless I’m missing the joke in there about a calculator?

        22 is the default port for connecting to some kinds of remote computers via ssh. The two utilities I mentioned are tools for performing arithmetic and are usually (but not always) available on the kinds of systems that would be likely to be running ssh.

        I knew it wasn’t what you meant, I was just making my own Unix joke - I tend to do that and, since it’s Lemmy, tend to get mixed results!
