Oof.
#TIL that I, for many years, have used a word consistently wrong.
I've used the word "ignorant" when I meant to say "nescient" (🇧🇻: "uvitende").
Now I know that "ignorant" contains a measure of willfulness that "nescient" doesn't. 😅
So when I've said things like "we're all born ignorant" – I see now…

#TIL Twitter has image polls 🤔

#TIL: There is a San Francisco Onion Futures Company privately selling onion futures, which are banned from public futures markets by federal law, ever since an attempted “corner" in the ’50s.
I think they are a hoax/idiot trap. But they’ll sell you a yellow onion for delivery in May 2027 for $13.53.
That's “a yellow onion" not a pound or a bushel or some other number.

#TIL how the secondary selection used to be used on #Unix desktops.

#TIL: The auto industry, where I worked as a sysadmin for most of a decade, has promulgated sets of coding practices for C and C designed to produce safe, secure, high-quality code. MISRA.
This explains some things I didn't entirely understand, such as how it is that the world at large writes such careless garbage relative to the low-defect software produced by car makers. They have a set of defined rules. Everyone else is just winging it.

#TIL that the #FAT #filesystem doesn't really store anywhere whether it's #FAT12, #FAT16 and #FAT32. What you're supposed to do is to look at the number of clusters, and determine which range it falls into. More specifically, you're supposed to look at the partition size and divide it by the number of sectors per cluster (which is stored in consistent position irrespective of FAT type).
The obvious implication of that is that the volume sizes are limited by possible cluster size ranges. There's some overlap here, though: you get more clusters (and therefore use a "longer" FAT) by using a smaller cluster size, or fewer clusters by using a larger cluster size.
https://elm-chan.org/docs/fat_e.html#fat_determination
However, there's a curious trick: there's a 16-bit "FAT size" field that indicates how many sectors are used for FAT on FAT12/FAT16 filesystems. On FAT32 this field is zero (there is a separate field for 32-bit FAT size there), and apparently some tools recognize the filesystem as FAT32 in that case, irrespective of number of clusters. This is what mkfs.vfat does when you force FAT32 on a small block device.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/1590cf0329716306e948a8fc29f1d3ee87d3989f/fs/fat/inode.c#L1675-L1680
Why did I learn all this? Because a friend tried to make a very small EFI partition and was surprised it didn't work. I was compelled to get to a bottom of this!
