Great read, though I am compelled to comment on this ad-hoc date/time conversion:

    $ date=$(python3 -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1707074879).isoformat())')

Consider reaching for `date` from GNU coreutils instead:

    $ date -Is -d @1707074879

Fewer keystrokes, faster execution, and the output includes the TZ offset.

Great article indeed, but that python line triggered me too.

It's a good reminder though. We are all smart individuals with wealth of knowledge, but we never know everything.
