localslackirc VS organize

> Really? Just a git command, a button press on GitHub? So why don't they just do it? Why don't they apply the patches when people send the code in then?

Because the patch was bad.

> Something like a month later the guy just rewrote the patch without even engaging with me.

Do you think he'd have done that if the patch was good? Was his version completely identical to yours?

> Yeah, that made me feel like shit

At least it didn't introduce a new bug to every user… I'm sure collective feelings of the userbase were less harmed in this case.

> Sorry but maintainers don't have the moral superiority to demand free labor

But you have the moral superiority to demand free labour from maintainers, to review, improve, test your patch?

Look at this pull request for example: https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc/pull/387

How could a thing like that be merged?

When asked to split it, he just proceeded to open tens of pull requests that were all based on the previous one, in a chain. And every commit contains thousands of lines of unrelated changes with what the description is.

Then he got upset.

plugging my IRC gateway https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc

I find that using slack from IRC, and having the option to deprive some people/channels to notify me is very helpful to reduce the amount of distractions.

I could never understand why people insist on using requests rather than the stdlib (which works just fine).

When async became a thing, I remember hitting some bug in aiohttp so I wrote myself a tiny (just doing the bit I needed) HTTP async client, which I figured was easier than wrestling aiohttp into compliance.

These days aiohttp is quite nice for async, and for sync I just use the stdlib.

I normally use [localslackirc](https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc) to use slack.

I can grep through the logs if I need to find something. That's really really fast compared to their search on the website.

I also get other advantages such as not automatically being forced to see all the reaction GIFs and being able to silence notifications from certain users that abuse them.

Organize - https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize - might help..

As you've already found, Organize is pretty great. I don't have it running on any of my servers, but I've used it on multiple client systems before with great success. I'd highly recommend it.

I use Organize for housekeeping of files.

Check out DuckieTV (or something similar, duckie is just the one I like) and Organize (just to automatically organize from the download folder to your library)

On Mac there is (was?) Hazel, the closest thing on Linux is tfeldmann/organize: The file management automation tool., it uses Python. An alternative would be benjaminoakes/maid: Be lazy. Let Maid clean up after you, based on rules you define. Think of it as "Hazel for hackers"., but it uses Ruby, which I don't know.

Organize is very good, it's written in modern python, and easy to use, but Hazel is still easier. Maid has arguably a better name, but is written in ruby, which I'm not proficient in.

I am trying to use organize but, for some reason, when I try to move all files with given extension to a specific folder, it ends up renaming the files? Here's the config.yaml:

My suggestion? Try some of those programs and see what works best for you. Actually, another suggestion: if you are a home user and not managing complex systems, you could simply create some scripts to keep things organized, take a look here: https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize it's just an example, there are hundreds of projects like that, you could use them or get some ideas to create your own tools. We all have different needs after all.
