This comic is about the results of forgetting to use grep when using `tail -f` (tail -f /var/log/nginx.log | grep something) on a Linux/Unix-like system. As a result, an overwhelming amount of data floods the screen.

   See, that is why Redhat and Mr. Poettering have introduced all in one systemd command that does grep and limiting output in a single go for a given service log. How cool is that? You guys hate systemd for no good reason 🤭
   ```
   journalctl -u nginx.service -g failed -n 10
   ```
