It’s going to be different for different file formats. For example, something like epub is going to be hard because the format is really just a zip file with a specific internal file structure. So, it’s not really the .epub file you want to grep, but one of the files within that zip file you want to grep through. EBooks stored as PDFs could be a bit easier, as they are a monolithic file format with text often (though not always) stored just as plain text. However, the text streams can be encrypted and/or compressed (FlateDecode); so, there is no guarantee of seeing plain text.

I’m sure there are more formats, but I think you get the idea, how you would do a string search comes down to the actual file format. And some are not going to be easily greppable. It’s not impossible, just not straight forward.

Perfect, we’ll just spin up an image of your machine in EC2, give it a public IP, set the default network rules to “allow any any” and we’re good. And I have no idea why the security team just all quit.

Porn.
All six of them, just different forms of porn.

Na, my experience is that Defender is fine with users downloading browsers and “updates” from random Russian sites. It’s happy to let the users install that software and only bothers to log a “hey, maybe this was bad” alert some time later. Edge, on the other hand, loses it’s shit when you visit the official download sites for Chrome or FireFox.

Cleopatra had huge tracts of land. And all of the Romans wanted to plow her fields.
I’m walking about the wheat production of Egypt here, what were you thinking of?

You don’t smoke brisket on propane.

Assuming your partner is breast-feeding, pop that kid on a nipple. We flew several times with young kids and being able to suckle kept the little ones quiet for most flights.

Docu-what now?

Seriously, if the average user needs to understand distributed systems to play in the fediverse pool, they are going to land back at Reddit. Just get people in the door (any door) and fight the technical debt that creates later.

Sure, it’s a shit plan. But, it’s the only way to really capitalise on the current moment. With both Twitter and Reddit blasting away at their own feet, there is a real opportunity for something better to step up. The fediverse can be that thing. But, not if people end up gatekeeping it. Less Stallman style, “RTFM!” And more, “hey, welcome. Let’s get you set up.”
