xjrk commented on Understanding the bin, sbin, usr/bin, usr/sbin split (2010)   lists.busybox.net/piperma... · Posted by u/taubek

I'm actually a bit surprised about `/bin` there. Maybe it's archaic but I've always considered the point of `/bin` to be a minimal set of tools that could allow an otherwise-hosed system to be booted/debugged. So it (and `/lib` and a few other directories) might be on a small, read-only partition while `/usr` and friends are on a much larger read-write partition.

Of course in the last twenty-five years I don't think I've ever really used a system set up like that. But it does seem nice to at least be able to do so.

I've used to setup my system exactly like that, but that was in 20xx. Since then I've got lazy.

xjrk commented on South Africa’s omicron coronavirus outbreak subsides as fast as it grew   washingtonpost.com/world/... · Posted by u/kyle_morris_

I am cautiously optimistic about the severity of Omicron. But as others have pointed out before: deaths trail infections by 2-4 weeks.

Omicron was first reported to the WHO on 11/24 and wasn't categorized as a variant of concern until 11/26. It hasn't even been a month since it was acknowledged much less has become the dominant variant in most places.

Increase in Gauteng (South Africa) has started already well before 11/24. Even if deaths trail infections by 2-4 weeks we would have already seen nice steeply increasing slope. Another point is that anecdotally hospitalizations in SA were shorter and often people tested positive after being admitted because of something else than COVID.
