Is it? Outside of Windows, I rarely ever see KB used to mean 1024 anymore. Linux and Mac usually uses KB for 1000, and "K" or "Ki" or "KiB" for 1024.

I do not know what "Linux" you are using.

    user@machine:~$ python3
    >>> with open('/tmp/a', 'wb') as f:
    ...     f.write (b'a'*1000);
    ... 
    1000
    >>> with open('/tmp/b', 'wb') as f:
    ...     f.write (b'a'*1024);
    ... 
    1024

    $ ll /tmp -h
