the process documentation thing has needed to happen for a long time, as evidenced by my ability to do it wrong for literally 6 years. i am also trying hard to not just be the process police so i'm trying to keep the naming convention pretty loose and only push on folder naming/organizing but tbh i'm betting most of that is gonna be thrown out of the document

i really sucked rear end at my job last year, and i'm trying to suck less at it and make myself useful lately :smith:

Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.


we auto generate folders with a convention for a bunch of teams from a system and I had a long conversation yesterday with someone who was like "I had no idea what the system did so I just created my own folders somewhere else"

idgaf to be honest. We're trying to buy a new system to replace NFS shares so we can at least lock down the ability to create/gently caress with names whenever you like, but can't get any agreement on which system people want (iManage or Netdocuments for anyone who deals with DMS tools)

there was one guy that was storing all his personal tax returns on the network shares at one point lol

yeah network shares are going away because no one wants to pay for/support local storage anymore in tyool 2021 and teams gives every account a free terabyte. teams and onedrive are integrated

I use both and I prefer teams to slack for actual work business, for random chats slack is fine but having stuff like the file repository makes teams real good. its outlook integration on the mac is straight garbage though

possibly, but of course entirely obligatory for a thing like teams to succeed, not only does it need to work with onedrive, it also needs to work with sharepoint pretending to be onedrive, and likely a bunch of other adjacent things i've forgotten or never even heard of.

i am insanely pissed off about each channel in teams having a wiki and a file repo. if that functionality was at the "team" level so i didn't need to check 5-6 random channels for the thing im looking for I would be totally on the same page as you

spaces should not be legal characters for file/folder names

I had a fun one the other day.

Linux has a file name limit of 255 characters.

Turns out this isn't characters, but bytes.

Guess what happens if you write code that checks for that length in characters, but does so in UTF-8....

yeah I dunno linux people should be used to escaping characters so having to escape spaces shouldn't be difficult

hell most shells autocomplete filenames with spaces in them by escaping them so you don't even need to put in any effort

Shaggar posted:

I copy a lot of stuff in and out of s3 on the CLI, and there's no autocomplete on the remote files, so escaping/quoting gets to be tedious when I just want to copy-paste something. It works fine outside of that but I get cranky about that particular use case.
