>MFS Check my "home_in_a_ramdisk.txt" and "ram_is_good.txt" posts. Nothing has changed besides I have 16G RAM now. I download almost everything onto $HOME/Tmp first, then convert and rename the files on the same directory. I save (move to a SSD) files only when I'm going to hold them for the long term.

Thank you, I'll just type ".pdf" on the URL bar.

>planetary_hours I use it to check how much time remains until the sunset/sunrise and occasional occult stuff for fun. Also checking day/night hour helps me intuitively understand the current seasonality and its changes.

>I still use your planetary hours script. That's nice. What do you use it for? Do you check the hour every once in a while as a curiosity or do you use it for more occult matters?

>https://thricegreat.neocities.org/scsh.png Continuing my reply: I got this idea first from the blog of the Go compiler developer, Russ Cox. https://research.swtch.com/ His work is great. A large portion of his papers there are in both PDF and HMTL. His HTML conversions are very basic, but his troff-generated PDFs are magnificent. I'd like to try treating both audiences to half-decent typesetting.

>https://thricegreat.neocities.org/scsh.png The associated PDF file is the solution. To view it, you may use mupdf, print using CUPS, or make do with pdftotext. https://kaa.neocities.org/Uncategorized/pdfweb.pdf I'll have to link in plain HTML both the PDF and the SVG. I like this solution, since it pleases the 99% of users who can't be bothered, and it pleases the 1% who prefer printed documents.
