This is exactly what I would suggest, with one addendum: use internet archive links wherever possible. Especially if the links are intended to be clickable.

In the process of acquiring an advanced degree, I learned the worst part of research is finding dead links to pages that were never archived.

By putting it in the internet archive to create a link, it also adds a snapshot.

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Wait til your table with all the checksums gets messed up on an “older” btrfs install. Happened to me on a VM because I didn’t know copy-on-write should be disabled for large frequently partially updated files. It also slowed that VMs IO down a lot.

Like most file systems, BTRFS is great if you know the edge cases. I recently moved to ZFS on my new work system, which has been a great change in terms of in-line snapshots and the like.

If EXT4 meets your needs, that’s awesome. If you understand how to use a different FS well or are willing to learn (and risk), I would also encourage other options as well.

Please explain why you don’t open powershell and run cmd.exe instead of running bash? This is a strange workaround and doesn’t really make sense.

Ironically, people who’ve achieved the first four often struggle with the last 3. Being at the top is often lonely because it’s hard to find people to relate to.

If you achieve all 7, that does indeed sound perfect.
