<p>Unsorted pile of&nbsp;links I&nbsp;sometimes urgently need
in&nbsp;the middle of&nbsp;a&nbsp;conversation.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Some file systems contain a&nbsp;special directory,
called <strong>lost+found</strong> under Unix, where a&nbsp;file system check
places lost and potentially corrupted files when the correct location
cannot be&nbsp;determined,
and so&nbsp;<strong>requires manual intervention by&nbsp;the user</strong>.</p>
