   @steven some would call this bloat 😂

   by the way, python3 -m http.server can be used to run a web server serving the current directory, this is quite useful sometimes :flan_thumbs: httpd needs to be run as root, which may not be practical if you need to serve a directory quickly in one shot

     @thorstenzoeller @steven php does it too IIRC

     but I guess python3 is installed almost everywhere as long, whereas ruby or php may be less ubiquitous :flan_thumbs:

     @solene @steven And in Ruby, you can do the same with

     $ ruby -run -e httpd -- -p <port> <dir>

     But yes, I also have

     alias serve='python3 -m http.server'

     in my .kshrc.
