This MacOS (APFS?) quirk was mentioned at the pub last night, and I still cannot believe this actually works when I tried it myself

@benjojo If your filesystem is set to case insensitive, ẞH works too.

@benjojo @hailey Haha – reminds me of this little CTF challenge:

(there is a solution in the repository)

@benjojo @WiteWulf no way. Amazing.

@benjojo i joked about this 2 or so years ago (outside the normalization context), i can’t believe this is actually real

@benjojo holy fuckin shit

@benjojo I love that!

@benjojo Now I have to set ßh to a shell alias everywhere. This is brilliant.

@benjojo what the hell! I saw someone else posting about this a few days ago and I thought it was a joke!!!

@benjojo wunderbar, now ze Germans can finally ßh into their heimserver

@benjojo There's also the famous encryption tool openßl.

@metaphil @benjojo
this happens if you don't use the
right command: 'ſſh'

@benjojo I don't have a Mac, so can you try running ſſh to see if archaic English is also normalized?

@th @benjojo It is.

@laurie @th @benjojo (Fun fact: imgflip turned "ſſh" info "ssh" as well)
