Do you mean the delay between when you need to re-enter the superuser password?

I found this via an LLM:

To change the delay before needing to re-enter your sudo password, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and run:

   sudo visudo
   

2. Locate the line:

   Defaults env_reset
   

3. Add the following line below it:

   Defaults timestamp_timeout=<time-in-minutes>
   

   Replace <time-in-minutes> with the desired timeout in minutes (e.g., 30 for 30 minutes). Setting it to 0 requires a password every time, while a negative value disables the timeout entirely.

I think you would be better off using something like org-roam. It’s all text so script can still be used and it can be searched fast with ripgrep. Also org mode has loads of features that a homegrown system will never be able to catch up with
