Linux Directory Structure - FHS in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie created Unix on a PDP-7 in 1969. Well around 1971 they upgraded to a PDP-11 with a pair of RK05 disk packs (1.5 megabytes each) for storage.

When the operating system grew too big to fit on the first RK05 disk pack (their root filesystem) they let it leak into the second one, which is where all the user home directories lived (which is why the mount was called /usr). They replicated all the OS directories under there (/bin, /sbin, /lib, /tmp...) and wrote files to those new directories because their original disk was out of space. When they got a third disk, they mounted it on /home and relocated all the user directories to there so the OS could consume all the space on both disks and grow to THREE WHOLE MEGABYTES. And thereafter /usr is used to store user programs while /home is used to store user data.

A handpainted cozy hidden-object adventure. Travel through surreal paintings. Collect items for their quirky inhabitants. Repair rips and solve casual puzzles. Help a dandy skeleton painter find his way home. This game is short but 100% FREE (no ads, no dlc's).

You are a dandy, suit-wearing, art-loving skeleton, recently risen from the grave, with the ability to travel into and through paintings. Using this ability, you help repair rips in the paintings and find missing items for the people living inside of them.

A slow paced relaxing experience filled with humor, surprising characters and beautiful hand painted art, carefully crafted from works by James Ensor, a Belgian Modern Art pioneer.

Deimos Games will be shutting down this year. Both Helium Rain and Astral Shipwright will be going free-to-play, so that new players can still experience them in the future. As a reminder, both are also open-source, so if you were going to build anything based on these projects, you now have access to free content too.
