Making things human-friendly.
Abstract
I'm recently pensioned off and have a lot of time on my hands.
Status of This Memo
This memo is a joke, not to be taken seriously, and, well, you know.
Copyright Notice
I had one lying around somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.
1. Introduction
It used to be that network interfaces had silly but manageable (with a bit of effort and some memory work) naming schemes. Like eth0, or wlan0.
Some evil naming schemes are at work, and they are now progressively being called things like enp3s0, enp2s0f0 , wlp3s0, and even wlx503eaad8b868.
Which makes it more and more annoying to type into a command line.
Disk partitions also tend to move from things like /dev/sda1 to /dev/nvme0n1, /dev/mmcblk0, and the like.
2. Proposed Specification Changes
Make an auto-translating default utilityavailable mandatory that leaves the underlying evil naming scheme to the system and makes a pretty, human-readable, bucolic, arcadian naming option available to the user.
3. Security Considerations
Who gives a fig. It's a translation utility. The system can pursue its evil schemes as much as it wants.
4. References
Try using a recent version of Kubuntu.

I guess I have a right to consult a solicitor (I actually know a couple) before I acknowledge anything.
