2>&1 pipes stderr to stdout, which would not affect a binary like file which doesn’t parse stdin. You would need something like xargs file which would convert the stdout to command line arguments.

Totally agree with that. What I have a problem with is withholding security updates on the latest LTS releases and only releasing them on ESM. That’s some scummy BS.

This looks like a combination of JSONP and the ES2015 computed property name syntax. JSONP is used to load into web pages using a script tag and execute the function (item) with the data, rather than a direct response from Ajax.

As for tools, jq may be able to parse this assuming you remove the item( and the last );
