The concept of a "directory" has existed since the beginning of computer operating systems (OS).
A directory is a way to streamline your work by putting all related programs, data, and configuration information in one place.
In short, it's a "desk drawer," a "cabinet," and a "locker.
It is the oldest, but still effective, method of knowledge management that has existed since the beginning of human civilization.
Incidentally, virtualization, such as "Docker containers," is a way to treat this directory as an independent computer.
The image is that of a computer with desk drawers that work independently of each other.

Recently, I have been working without this 'directory'.
I don't have any trouble with that.
The reason for this is the search engines.
Recently I have been using the Google search engine to find articles in my website.
If I can remember one or two keywords, I can get to the article I want.
Most of the time, it is "no problem".
What's more, WordPress, a content management system (CMS), is the driving force behind this "directory-free" approach.
I've been throwing my notes, diaries, and programs into this site.
I've set up some rough categories, but I've never relied on categories to find information about myself.
I could easily go back to my notes by typing in keywords in the "Site Search" section, so I think,
"Why should I really need to go through the trouble of categorizing information?"

Recently, I am writing a book on the subject of PostgreSQL + postGIS + QGIS, and I have been following my notes with only keywords.
"It's amazing. I was doing this. I'm great"
I'm impressed with what I did.
Many of them are just copied and pasted programs, or are little tips memos. To others, they are like garbage, without any background or purpose.
Only I, the one who produced that garbage, can read it as information that makes sense.

However, I feel some troubles recently
About some kinds of topics in my website, I cannot ignore the numbers from overseas.
In addition, they are IT-engineers absolutely,
The top access number in my website, from the beginning of using WordPress,
The end of days annoyed by "dial tcp: lookup db on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host exit"
and, more recently, in
"Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "volume": invalid moun t path: 'db_data' mount path must be absolute"
When "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?" appears
have got a lot of hit. I am sure that
"Engineer overseas hit, absolutely"
So, I guess they are disappointed and move on to other pages when they see my articles that 'only I can understand' and that are 'only written in Japanese.
I feel very heavy and guilty.

For my own English practice, I have been writing my diary in English as well.
However, I have no intention of having anyone read my English text.
So I'm writing "bullshit English". It's easy-going.
But from now on, in order to escape from the 'guilty feeling', I wonder if I have to write my private technical memos in English as well.
To be honest, I feel depressed when I think about it.
