I agree and disagree with you. Same 'grumpy old sysop' energy. Same as you I, ssh into 100 different servers on dozens of client networks. Too many have a stupid amount of restrictions in the name of security that prevent changes or enforce settings. i.e. One client has a 'forced' PS1 output that shows: RAM free/total HD space free/total CPU load TOP cpu item Previous command

All with obnoxious colours AND blinking if a threshold gets met. .bashrc (and associated)is read-only (and) overwritten at every login.

But, I can `source .my-env` And bring sanity to my session.

I'd rather have a 'default-plain' then some forced-bling that a dev thought was cool 20 years ago.
