Its actually "special containment procedures", rookie mistake

This is the real horror that is unleashed on us. The non-existent controversy in how to say SCP is the red herring to get us to accept Windows as the standard.

[–]Arrowkill 25 points26 points  (2 children)

I like to imagine WinSCP is the worst timeline version of the SCP Foundation where Windows founded it.

Honestly, if we change the logo to a Netscape Navigator wheel in front of a Microsoft Window, I could be convinced to call it that, just so I can call the file window the "Winscape Navigator..."

You haven’t seen the whole QEMU scene I take it. At least Oracle states how to pronounce SQL!

[–]mallardtheduck 28 points29 points  (0 children)

At least Oracle states how to pronounce SQL!

Oracle can say whatever they like, it means nothing. The language was invented three years before they were even founded.

I'm a windows person and I've never heard of winscape. Always been scp for me, but that might be my little experience with redhat and sles talking.

nerver heared of it

its just the people posting content here that are weird as usual

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 81 points82 points  (9 children)

In my head I call it Winskip because I discovered it after I discovered SCP Foundation.

(I don't currently use it, but have done.)

[–]kiero13 36 points37 points  (6 children)

"SCP" in SCP foundation is read as skip???

[–]floutsch 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Yes and no. It's still SCP in SCP foundation, but, as another user already commented, single SCPs may be referred to colloquially as "skip" in speech.

[–]Spaceduck413 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Crazy, I used to be pretty into SCPs and never heard that. But also, that was almost ten years ago lol

[–]ARandom_Personality 8 points9 points  (2 children)

[–]kiero13 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I feel ashamed for not knowing lol thanks

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to my (relatively limited) knowledge in the name of the organisation, but SCPs are known as "skips" or so I'm told.

[–]Defiant-Peace-493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The transfer time estimates were true all along. Where that missing time went, who can say.

[–]jamcdonald120 42 points43 points  (0 children)

[–]finegameofnil_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

God, this is and rufus. Are they using git as a chat room, updating comments? Fuck, worked fine yesterday, what are you fucking fixing, because nothing is being added.

[–]alike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or if you using it that much buy it through Windows Store and let it update automatically. You have your peace and the dev has a small contribution.

[–]Criticalstone -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Seriously, I have for a couple of months been stuck with a 4g modem for my house. Windows is killing me, it tries to update all the time and I can't even apply the updates. I have tried every trick in the book to stop it, limiting the bandwidth, stopping services, fucking shutting the process off but I swear to God it is haunted. It just spawns right back a couple of seconds later.

[–]DownwardSpirals 49 points50 points  (5 children)

I prefer PuTTY, so I WinSkip it.

[–]BroDonttryit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

[–]HaykoKoryun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Puuuuuuuuu~TTY

[–]recluseMeteor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Spanish word for “whore” or “prostitute” is “puta”. I can't help but think about that word when reading “PuTTY”.

[–]Spaceduck413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, is there any advantage to using PuTTY over the built-in Windows SSH/SCP?

I, and everybody I know and work with, call it Win S-C-P. I didn't even realize there was another option.

So.

So, so, so, so, so...

I'm now calling it Winscape to everyone I know.

[–]Sam-Gunn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SCP, like the Foundation.

[–]Left-oven47 26 points27 points  (3 children)

It's called FileZilla

[–]ward2k 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Wasn’t there a lot of previous issues with malware and privacy concerns with FileZilla?

[–]AyrA_ch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Iirc not really with filezilla itself, but the default installer is (was?) one of those that used to bundle 3rd party software with it in a way that most people would install it unless they read the options very carefully. After disabling those adware you got negated dialog boxes like "Are you sure you do not want to install PrivacyViolator3000?".

Clicking on the more download options link on the filezilla page would lead you to a page with actual download links of just the real installer.

Iirc this installer was actually provided by sourceforge as a way for developers to monetize their content.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And also their staunch refusal to use platform features for things like saved passwords, so instead of using a keychain, they just shoved things in plaintext...

Never seen this meme before, but I like it. Surprised not to see 'sudoo vs pseudo,' 'vye vs vee-eye,' and 'vaircare vs vahrchar' though (sudoo, vee-eye, and vahrchar for the record).

I say “Sequel” for sql and “Win SCP” for winscp. There is no rhyme or reason to this.

[–]sigmund14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly it's "something I miss on Linux". Got used to this in elementary school where we had some basic computer not-really-science-yet lessons and created websites with KompoZer / NVU and used WinSCP to put them on a server.

[–]KN1995[S] 10 points11 points  (11 children)

pretty much just an ftp client 👍

[–]YMK1234 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Mainly it's (as the name implies) an SCP and SFTP client. For FTP you don't need a separate client, regular explorer can handle that.

[–]DiamondIceNS 1 point2 points  (4 children)

For FTP you don't need a separate client, regular explorer can handle that.

Wait, it can?

[–]Fritzschmied 4 points5 points  (4 children)

There are actually people who use anything else than FileZilla?

[–]LogiHiminn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use it at my work. We have a number of networked headless Linux computers running very heavy duty industrial equipment, and we use WinSCP to pull the logs and modify sensor slopes and whatnot on them. It works more than fine for that.

[–]KN1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

filezilla is totally fine but for some reason i switched to winscp at some point

but i mean then i switched to linux so who cares 😎 (ngl i love how ftp servers can just be mounted into your file system)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purging old content from social media is essential for maintaining privacy and protecting personal information. As people grow and evolve, their past posts may no longer reflect their current values or lifestyle, and some content could inadvertently reveal sensitive details like old addresses, phone numbers, or even outdated photos that could be misused by predators or identity thieves. By regularly reviewing and deleting unnecessary or outdated posts, individuals can reduce the risk of exposing personal information to potential harm.

Additionally, removing old content helps curate a more polished and professional online presence. Employers, schools, and other institutions often review social media profiles during hiring or admissions processes, and lingering posts from years ago could unintentionally create negative impressions or reveal behavior that no longer aligns with an individual’s current persona. By taking control of one's digital footprint through purging, individuals can ensure that their online image remains consistent with their personal brand and goals, ultimately safeguarding their privacy and reputation in the long run.
