Anyone got advice on organizing your (#linux) filesystem? Naming conventions, etc?

I too am with Canadian ISP #Teksavvy. I checked my bill last month, and was surprised to find it less than I expected. Apparently they lowered prices around November 2019. A couple of years ago they upgraded to unlimited/month at no charge. No way I'm ever changing! (is #Teksavvy somewhere in the !Fediverse?) /cc @guizzy -

@mewmew @er1n If your goal is to be hidden from search engines you'll have things like valuable technical discussions lost forever.
Yes you deserve the right to be forgotten.
Yes you deserve to be anonymous if you want to be.
Yes you deserve ownership and control over your data as much as is technically feasible. (e.g., once it leaves your machine... all bets are off, sorry)
If what you think you need is to be hidden, you're not a social network and you're not helping us create a solution to end the digital tyranny the other 7 billion of us face on a daily basis.
I want AP to liberate 7 billion people from algorithmic manipulation and corporate-sponsored censorship.
I want AP to bring back what communicating with friends was like in the 90s and early 00s.
It's going to take money, time, blood, sweat, and tears.
Yes, money. I know people get very distracted by the fact that there's money flowing into ActivityPub's development. This is a requirement if we're going to get this off the ground. I can't think of a single widespread protocol we consider foundational to our daily lives that didn't have money behind it.
The internet itself (TCP/IP) was not birthed by some free software zealots. It was billions of dollars of military research brought to the public. Some people might even hate the military that did it!
The Web was also not birthed by free software zealots. It was done at CERN. On a NeXT machine. Some people might even hate the countries funding CERN, or Steve Jobs/Apple.
This lead to Mosaic and then Netscape.
"Netscape was the first company to attempt to capitalize on the nascent World Wide Web."
Mozilla is now the darling of the internet, but it was born out of capitalism. I'm sure the thought of this is offensive to some people. Most don't even recognize the fact.
The point is, we need a good protocol with a healthy standards body of members participating from MANY projects because diversity is strength and we cannot have a single member trying to throw their weight around and control how the protocol is developed. And if we don't care about doing security right we will fail.
I don't know how to bring everyone together to solve this, but I know damn well that Mastodon's goals are directly at odds with the rest of us right now. I hope they come around though because we'll be stronger together. -

Don't worry about it. I know that's not really helpful advice, but I've had experiences like this too. I think of it as "the wheels falling off". I suspect everyone has these times, but most people won't admit it. An uplifting aphorism I heard in a movie: "It will all be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end." -

i'm well aware canada's healthcare system is vastly inadequate, but just imagine if the housing system were anywhere near what the healthcare system was like.
for-profit housing should be as obscene as for-profit healthcare. flipping houses should be seen as as unethical as hiking up insulin prices.

The fan theory that the Jetsons and the Flintstones are actually contemporaneous to one another -- the Jetsons' sky cities being the land of the wealthy (or formerly wealthy, perhaps, since capitalist wage relations still exist, even in a world with literal robot servants) and the Flintstones being the descendants of the poor people who couldn't escape to the skies when the world fell apart -- is starting to feel less like an amusing diversion and more like a prediction of the future.
