Both tools serve the fundamental need of pattern matching in text, but differ significantly in architecture and capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Shell Execution Methods: An Overview</title><link>https://lixen.com/blog/002-shell_execution_methods/</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://lixen.com/blog/002-shell_execution_methods/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Shell execution methods determine process creation, environment inheritance, and resource management.

While powerful, enterprise-grade logging platforms exist, they often felt like overkill for my small projects and low traffic use cases. I wanted a simple, self-contained, single-binary solution that could stream, aggregate, and filter logs with minimal fuss. This is the story of how that idea evolved into a flexible, pipeline-based log transport system.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
