I often catch myself using Downloads to store a very suspicious quantity of files.

[-] marsza@lemmy.cafe 50 points 3 days ago

Yes. Downloads is the way.

If you want to make yourself organize better, set up a cron to remove all downloads older than 7 days 😳 then you’ll be efficient—and probably have nightmares.

No,I'll just disable the cron job before it executes and forget about it.

Downloads is usually my largest folder. Funny thing is that it is literally all just Linux isos because I'm trying some things with servers

They are actually Linux isos. But also ironically, one of the things I'm trying to set up is the *arr set of tools

"Trying some things"

Then you end up liking what you slapped together with jank and a prayer to the temporary work-around and now there's a new prod server!

I wish. I've never kept a personal server up for more than a month. I just never use them

Linux or Windows… doesn’t matter. Downloads is where I. Will find it.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah cause my work computer limits onedrive storage to like 100mb and downloads is one if the only places where I have write access and it doesn't go to onedrive.
