I knew that shell files, especially in build systems can get hard to read, but this was absolutely painful to look at from start to finish, even with the very helpful explanations in between. Of course the obfuscation is mostly done by design in this case.

Why does it say “Texas” on it 6 times?

I really like kitty. It is fast and simple but gives me all the features I would want.

This is not cool of Twitter.

That commonwealth is called the EU today and, along with NATO, is the reason why these countries are in a comparitively safer position. It would be much riskier for Russia to invade there.

Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.

I still don’t see how having a flat subvolume layout would make that more problematic. You can still (even better in my opinion) choose what subvolumes to automatically snapshot, which to include in backups etc.

Yes, that seems correct to me. I would also say that the flat layout is preferable because it makes dealing with snapshots later easier. When snapshotting the rootfs subvolume you won’t have to keep track of where exactly the home subvolume is located and it is easier to boot into a different rootfs snapshot.

Is that in reference to the Safety Third podcast?

My experience is you should try to always use find over ls when writing robust scripts, and consider ls as just an end user tool, not a scripting tool.
