Notes
- Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p166.
gollark: _ponders the necessity of folders other than `~/Programming` and `~/.factorio`_
gollark: Plus the important stuff, like factorio saves.
gollark: I want to copy my `~/Programming` folder off the disk before formatting it, obviously.
gollark: I mean, yes, most things are probably better than on this live CD, given that I'm copying 20GB of files onto an external disk while the OS runs from RAM, but you know.
gollark: ... in what way?
