I think this could also be built out of symlinks in a Linux filesystem. This would be slightly more practical (though, of course, still not practical at all).

- gumby 7y ago“Slightly more expressive” as you can create longer filenames with most Linux filesystems and more entries too. I like that phrase as it sounds like “better” when we’re talking about, as you say, something wonderfully useless.
- Dylan16807 6y agoAs long as you don't mind the depth limit of 40 symlinks on Linux and I think 31 on Windows.
- mappu 6y ago/include/linux/namei.h:13 #define MAXSYMLINKS 40 Only takes one recompile to raise the limit - someone's next project can be regex2symlinks-in-a-bootable-initramfs.
