      there are some directories in my machines i consider ephemeral. Downloads and ~/temp should be able to be deleted with no real consequences

      Dolphin has a built in filter bar that you can enable, so I just start typing the thing. I know we’re talking command line, but I mostly interact with files through Dolphin

      I have a script that sorts old downloads into folders by year and month. I’m afraid to open the folders but also don’t want to delete them 🤣

          I probably would miss it because I look for stuff sometimes (with everything search for example) and am shocked to still find interesting stuff there I forgot to sort in.

          I thought about updating my script to look up the hashes of files on virus total and if it’s some well know file (many uploads/checks) it’s probably something I could re-download easily and can be safely nuked.
