So, now, I have "https://firefox.localhost" wired up to my Downloads folder. No servers. Thank you Firefox!

Proud of this little trick. If you've started using CSS gap decorations, you might know you can inset the lines by some amount. Well, if you also use a CSS size container, you can inset the lines by, say, calc(50cqi - 2px) to get a 4px wid…
