Is there some idiot proof step-by-step guide to arranging digital files FOR SOMEONE WITH MEMORY ISSUES?

I have several memory sticks, and would need to not only sort what's in them, but I also I need to sort my google docs and move all my stuff away from there.

I can't hold in my head many things, and file names, repeating stuff, and what I just saw just doesn't stick.

This is a massive stress for me and I have pushed it aside for ages now...got to get it going next week tho.

Mounted my first Luksbox, protected by a Yubikey. Works very well.

Compared to Gocryptfs: you have support for FIDO2 keys.

Compared to veracrypt and truecrypt, the big advantage is you don't have to reserve x Gb for the encrypted partition.

Some of my #blogs are quite #old (and a few half-dead, courtesy of the LLMs... but this is a different story) so I was expecting a few #broken #links.

But the number is much higher than I expected. On average, 20% of all links are 404 (or similar). Make sure you review yours.

My solution (#overkilling for this but with more ambitious plans) is to pull each post/page in a local file and run some analysis locally (including automatic repair suggestions)

Who knows. I keep shoving files in the hole. I do not compress anymore. More jealous of those processing cycles than another 20 TB of storage. My average #file #size in download from Drive is 138K. There are 7,989,189 files in that one folder system. LOL. IT TOOK 3+ DAYS! ➡️ 8 threads #Rclone.

Directory Opus, is the most advanced file management system on the M68k Amiga platform. It has served me for more than a decade and a half
The programmer has also ported this software suite to win64

There are so many things you can do with Directory Opus that you should just get the win64 version yourself and run it in a virtual machine. It's much more than a file manager. Directory Opus is pure joy on the Amiga

As you can see I am the owner of an original version of Directory Opus. DOpus 5 was worth every penny

New agents.txt file found on DreamHost | K-Squared Ramblings

DreamHost now adds a default agents.txt (similar to robots.txt) to hosted websites that discourages LLM training and agent actions and allows on-the-fly access. On the downside, they added it to existing sites without notice, and used a proposed spec that's already changed.
