Preparing my files for a new laptop, I see my folder labeled Old Mac Dump, which has a mess of files & folders, including one called Tony’s Dell Dump (same kind of mess), & *it* contains a folder titled Toshiba Dump.
I need the new laptop to teach *my LIS graduate course Information Organization*.

After shooting one of the biggest loads of his young life, son was about to put dad's dildo back where he found it and clean up any trace that he broke into his dad's laptop, but then had an idea. Son decided to shoot a little video of his own and upload it to the "OldFiles" folder on dad's laptop.

Labeled "OldFiles", on the desktop littered with icons, it wasn't meant to arouse the suspicion of prying eyes, but it WAS locked. Among hundreds of pics and dozens of vids of his parents in their younger days having cringe-inducing sex, there were a few dozen pics and a handful of vids of just dad.

Vim has a built in MRU list.
Use :oldfiles to view it, and e.g. :e #<5 to open the fifth entry in the list.

You are not a good judge of your own writing. You will write stuff you think sucks and may have the urge to wipe it out. Don't. Your brain is fermenting, quite literally cooking up things inside your skull. They may not be ready today. Just file them.

I often need to check whether there are any files in an old folder not in a new, before deleting the old. I generally re-invent a wheel.
1-liner that works in Julia, similar in langs:
setdiff(
readdir("./oldfiles"),
readdir("./newfiles"))
Obvs, not checking timestamp or contents.

I found a really old disk with an “oldfiles” directory on it that contains the code for my first ever website (maybe my second? I don’t actually remember)
Iframes. Tables. Animated gifs. The works!
