A folder with waifu2x-caffe (image upscaling software and not porn) from 2020
September 2000 - Eurythmics Sweet Dreams 128k MP3 downloaded from Napster
Is it the same computer? Or just the same directories? Or do you just use your Downloads folder like a normal directory for storing stuff?
You’re not on the same machine, are you? That would be legendary.
That was many, many PCs ago. I kept rolling my HDDs or data over depending on what was upgraded, now my downloads are living on my NAS. One day for shits and giggles I wanted to see what the oldest file I had was, and sure enough I still had a Napster download.
It interests me that you did it in such a way that the download folder stayed the same. I have something more like this going. (Honestly it’s even worse because my top layer is like a physical drawer somewhere)
I took a little liberty with what “downloads folder” meant. It’s not in my root downloads folder, it’s sorted out into a music folder. It was a download though.
I’m just pretty impressed I managed to keep my music library going continuously for 24 years. 20 of those years are just single HDD no redundancy storage, just hopping HDD to HDD.
The Linux command “ls -t” sorts by newest first, if anyone else needs a cheatsheet.
It is “model_v5.torrent.zip” from December 2019. Looks like I was going to download AIDungeon back when that was new and amazing. I’m sure I never actually set it up and used it.

I thought to myself “yeah, like I’m going to use the command line to check it instead of a gui file manager”
Then I realized I was already going to ssh into my PC from termux because I am too lazy to get up. So… thanks.
Anyway, it is as I guessed a pdf listing the mandatory courses on the college I allegedly graduated from this summer.
Allegedly? Uh-oh, are you have trouble getting actual documentation of that?
Maybe they don’t remember it.
Kind of, actually. The graduation partay was on July 25, but if you’re a no-show, they make you wait till August 22 to go get the papers. Guess they needed a summer break too, but come on!

Im currently seeding a torrent ive had since December. But thats just this pc. Ive got way older stuff on my external.
Not particularly a fan but the Zionist controlled British media really did a number on this guy.
From what I heard, the media crushed him but he was actually a better leader than Starmer. And there’s the little fact of Starmer not having a spine and the whole protest squashing thing, which was in my opinion, not the right way to go about this.

Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he’s the opposition leader who’s caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.
Crushed him like a baby rabbit
Lol I just deleted my downloads on my PC, was > 100 GB lol
On my phone, it’s this which is datestamped 17 February 2012. I think I copied it there off the NAS, and the image is older than that.
Since I only have my phone right now, here is October 2nd, 2019
STL files for an adafruit motorised guardian from BOTW
I swear i will print it one day
You happen to have a link for that? Sounds very interesting
I don’t have a downloads directory. The browsers I do use are set to ask for save file name every time (not always the same directory) and I delete everything when done using. The default dump everything to a garbage folder is not really a great idea
Apparently I have a bunch of scala tuning files from 1996
Did you take a liberal definition of “downloads directory” like the other guy?
Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?
No. That’s just a long time ago.
I can’t imagine you’re on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?
Fair enough - didn’t mean to sound confrontational.
I definitely didn’t download the files that long ago, that’s just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.
The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I’ve developed - it’s called “what is this.mp3”
If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It’s the new craze I guess
That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song
It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

Thank you! Was driving me mad
Where were you hearing it?
It sounds kind of like the Morse code for “8”.
In my downloads folder I have an invoice from 2022. In my utilities folder I actually have old DOS executables from 1985.
Firefox installer.
Same
I clean mine out regularly. Oldest right now is Cyberpunk 2077 mod that lets you pet your cat.
