@nprofile…6m2n Was a note/warning about shell globs possibly matching so many targets that a command will then fail to run with (from memory) "too many arguments" considered too niche to include ?
Basically there are OS level limits to how many arguments/their total length can be passed in an exec*() call.
Workaround is something like `<command> [a-m]*`, or, of course, use a `find ... | xargs ...` instead.

@nprofile…x759 From my own experience with this (I'm now almost vegan, just I'm unhappy giving up cheese, even tried some vegan alternatives), keep an eye on protein intake. It's all too easy to seriously lower it which can lead to low energy.
I ended up having a couple of protein shakes a day to compensate. Plant-based of course, which mostly means pea protein.
