geez i go through all that effort to explain you can put it anywhere and how to do it and that's not enough

i'm fine with it this way, most people will just run it alone on a VPS maybe with lerproxy (my reverse proxy with nip-05) which just uses a file wherever "mapping.txt"

`.realy` is not going to be confusing or conflict with anything, that's part of the reason why i picked the name as i did, short, and unambiguous

my home folder barely has 50 files/folders in it, i wouldn't call it pollution, and on a VPS, XDG is irrelevant 

 Your code, your decision 🤟 

 I like that standard because it's easier to backup .config folder instead of whole home exluding things you don't want to. 

 well, i might change it, i want to avoid making too many high level changes from here on 

 yeah i'm changing it now, easy enough to do

it's actually the appdata library where that is designed in... on windows and mac it goes into special folders... should be the same for linux methinks 

 hah, it was a bit more of a dumpster fire than that actually... fixed now, will need to revise documents i guess maybe 

 Let me just change this little function it's no biggie.

last words before overnight debugging session 😂 

 haha... fortunately i'm a bit more experienced than that...

i had literally just done a shortcut on this part of the configuration and it wasn't set up to use the proper OS application data directory scheme

so i just had to revise the appdata library, so it conforms to XDG, and then fiddle with my configuration so i'd moved all the files and pointed all the configs in the right place

thanks for your advising on this, this is definitely better 

 i don't like the xdg convention for server apps because you kinda want to be able to remember where to look for it

when you install a fresh ubuntu server, it doesn't have a .config folder, this is mostly used by GUIs

i could be mistaken but the D in XDG stands for "Desktop" 

 idk, I'm fedora person. .config is part of skell there afaik.

but hey, no big deal at all. I'm just expressing my personal preference...
