Documents/Current/ is a symlink Documents/Months/2020-06/.
Anything that survives more than a month gets promoted to Documents/Projects, with symlinks to that location from any month-directory where I work on that project.
If anything, it is an excellent way, ahem, to discover FreeBSD symlinked directory arcana. The “..” directory never seems to be what I expect it to be.
Everything is rsyncd to NAS:/tank/Backups/ which I never use except as backup space. The NAS and all its ZFS snapshots are backed up to rsync.net’s CH store, with borg, from which I have never had to restore in anguish or anger.
When I run out of space on my laptop, I log in to the NAS and move data from /tank/Backups/ to /tank/Archives/ then delete the data on my laptop. The Archives gather dust alongside the last 30 years of data that has been growing in size linearly in my mind, and exponentially in reality. I hope they may be of interest to someone one day, as my forebears papers have been to me.
- enobrev 6y agoWhile I wouldn't exactly call my own setup organized, what organization I do successfully maintain is similar. Everything has a permanent location in a structure that has very obviously been poorly tweaked over many years, and then I use symlinks for things I use more often.
