#swatchbeats — Public Fediverse posts

I often make directories during the day named things like, "temp", "test" or "deleteme". This can get annoying when I forget to cleanup and then find myself reissuing mkdir and trying to make "temp2", "test13", etc. … or I end up just smashing the keyboard to create directories named like "jhjkdsh". 😆

Anyway I have now fixed this for myself in the nerdiest way possible!

I create directories named with a timestamp that includes the current "decibeat" 🤓

I already have my own short shell script for this but just stumbled over this post where the core logic was compacted down to one-liner, which is pretty sweet.

Their full version is fancier still using figlet and watch to monitor (check it out).
