you've heard of /var/mail, but have you heard of /var/cash? fun fact: every unix account is also a credit account, you can see your "balance" in /var/cash. nowadays this doesn't mean anything, but back in the day it was used for billing people on big time-sharing servers. in order to discourage people from using too much memory, there would be an additional charge if a process owned by your account causes the system to run out of memory, commonly known as "OOM Fees"
