The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard is at least one of the most boring standards that I've ever read. It is exactly what you imagine it to be if you know the basics about any UNIX file hierarchy. It doesn't even contain examples. The whole spirit seems to be "Well, somebody just had to write it down at some point." Still, I'm glad I've read it. Now I can be sure that I don't have to read it for the things that I do.

I'm just trying out Servo (rust web rendering engine) for the first time. It's actually pretty good. Not as many CSS problems as I get with Ladybird. But Mastodon sites don't render. Sooo… next!

Surfing the web with such a simple GUI made me think though: Do I - does a web browser - actually need anything else? A browsing history can be useful sometimes. But it's not actually that important to me. Bookmarks can be stored in any database app, or in text files. Tabs aren't necessary if you have a task bar. You can configure that to look like Firefox tabs if you want. Many settings and customisations I'd miss coming from a Firefox fork. Some extensions, too.

@alcinnz Well, I, for one, am not sure how you mean that.

@clacke Either that or you might still be asleep. People tend to just accept and believe stuff in dreams. So that's another sign you did go to sleep.

@clacke Maybe you did sleep two hours ago. There's no way for us to check. So it's all fine. And maybe you're smart, too.

I don't think it's okay for a man page to say "This is just a short summary. For the actual manual, visit this web page."

What if I need to use an obscure combination of command line options with tar _after_ the apocalypse?

@celrock Wow, this is the first time in more than 20 years since I've seen this meme. It hasn't changed that much. :)

Linux distros aren't the only think one can share with torrents.
