I actually do that sometimes, Carlos. It depends on the context. Eg.
What I use in File Manager is:

YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM TT

When it comes to naming files though, I use YYMMDD-HHMM, always at the
start of the name. And this is exclusively for my purposes only, has
served me well for several decades now.

For the sake of brevity, and because I didn't want to go into this the
way you have now forced me to, I limited my reply to pointing out that
the traditional MMMMMDDYYYY or MMMDDYYYY method no longer makes much
sense. Probably never did.

Yes, I'm sending you this via their servers now. Usually, the problem
arises when their servers get overloaded. Sometimes this can tell you if
that's the problem:

Usually though, just waiting a while until the problem goes away is the
best solution.

Thanks.
Just a quiet day in my groups, I guess.
Although the threads I ignore are probably still rambling on. :)

The server operates 24-hours, but the administrator of it, does do
maintenance in a maintenance window which aligns with his free time.
He might do things like "rebuild overview", which would drive up
the I/O for a while.

He has a long term project, of restoring historical posts. He has
a cache of posts acquired from somewhere, but the headers need to be
massaged, so as not to leak into the rest of the USENET system.

And the server is remote and located in a COLO in Finland. And is
subject to Finnish law. Previously, the server was in Germany
and subject to German law. Hetzner owns both of those COLOs.
