    I never knew we backed up this world. Can we revert to a snapshot from the nineties please?

    My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

    Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.
