Sure, we ignore:

    static const gchar *blacklist[] = {
        "/bin",
        "/boot",
        "/dev",
        "/etc",
        "/lib",
        "/proc",
        "/root",
        "/sbin",
        "/sys",
        "/usr/bin",
        "/usr/sbin",
        "/usr/etc",
        "/usr/lib",
        NULL
    };
