I am not an expert in segfalut and binary exploitation but to my understanding when an segfalut occurs it can be taken advantage in malicious ways Either way I just want to install tldr also should I be worried abt the segfault and thx in advance

fisher•2mo ago

they both share the tldr command so its not possible to have them both installed at the same time

Snipe scope•2mo ago

Which one should I remove then

fisher•2mo ago

personally ive only used tealdeer, the only issue i have with it is that it stores all pages locally

Snipe scope•2mo ago

No i don't want the pages to be ocal I want to look it up online *local

fisher•2mo ago

i use this now curl -qs "cht.sh/<command>" it pulls pages from multiple sources

Snipe scope•2mo ago

I decided to uninstall tealdeer(because it stores pages offline) and decided to go with the outfieldr one but when I run

tldr man

tldr man

it just says to run it with --update and again another segfault Also tried reinstall outfieldr and still doesn't work

fisher•2mo ago

outfielder was recently disabled in this commit https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/commit/1cd742f6cce6917db1a9b1204a4bc68983f72551 idk why its still installable

outfieldr: Disabled · termux/termux-packages@1cd742f

Existing android outfieldr 1.0.3 "tldr --update" is broken. Tried these solutions but do not fix the issue: Rebuild with musl Rebuild using latest commit in 20231010 Cannot build...
