As a German, it’s always fun to use the ss command. The SS was the organization that did most of the genocide under Hitler. That’s a bad name around here, so people are always surprised that a command is named that.
But what’s even more fun is that we can memorize the standard set of flags as -tulpn, because it’s basically spelled+pronounced like “Tulpen”, which is German for tulips.
So, occasionally I get to tell people to type “SS-tulips” into their terminal and it always confuses the hell out of them. 🙃

And it’s used for killing… processes.
On a separate note, I wish such tutorials explained what the commands are abbreviations of. Would make it easier to remember.
Yeah, I hate that, too. I just looked it up:
ssis “socket statistics”.ss -tulpnwas a welcome find for me. I have it memorized for netstat and dislike always having to install it on a new box, very handy toolI’ll remember that.
