I used to try and rename all the random stuff I pulled<br>off torrent sites and it just drove me crazy... <br><br>In my ~/projects/ , sorting chronologically gives me plenty of context<br>but keeping ~/projects/_index.txt is really helpful in case I forget.<br><br>Too bad that "tagging" isn't more of a thing in native filesystem tools,<br>we are stuck with trees I think. For stuff like images I prefer boorus<br>but on-disk I try to go for broad categories and give "tags" to the <br>filename so I can search that way. Not very satisfying.
