58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

	#!/usr/bin/bash -xe

	cat <<EOF > "${HOME}/.config/systemd/user/zoom.slice"
	[Slice]
	AllowedCPUs=0-4
	MemoryHigh=6G
	EOF

	cat /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop \| sed -E 's#^(Exec=).*$#Exec=/usr/bin/systemd-run --user --slice=zoom.slice /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher#' > "${HOME}/.local/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"

	#!/bin/bash

	TITLE="Branch Selector"
	MENU="Select a branch to checkout:"

	OPTIONS=()
	tempBranches=()
	BRANCHES=()
	eval "$(git for-each-ref --shell --format='tempBranches+=(%(refname))' refs/heads/)"
