Hey! Listen! BACKUP YOUR STUFF!!
Even if you don't have have storage space to backup everything, Starting with SSH keys, OTP secrets, and credentials are a great way to startwithout using any meaningful amount of storage!
backup! backup! backup!

this message brought to you by "no backups in several years and i dread thinking about it vecause of how much of a fucking mess everything is aaaaa" gang
@6 @angelwood it's true in the literal sense, because once you've lost some critical data (or at least had a scary enough experience with a failed storage device), you are likely to re-evaluate your stance on backups :neofox_laugh_sweat:
Jun 30, 2026, 9:02 PM@csepp@merveilles.town @angelwood@merveilles.town I once accidentally deleted my system's /lib bc I'd bind-mounted it to a chroot and rm -rfed the chroot :neofox_woozy:
needless to say I had to reinstall lol
but /home was fine, so who cares :blobcatcomfevil:
(honestly idk why but I've started to want to fix this...problem is that there's already way too overwhelming mess to sort out...and uh...357M free space rn...gonna run down to 0 again soon aren't I...there is no single space hog either to get rid of, just a looot of small stuff)
@6 @angelwood Ahhh, chroots. Fun fact: I'm the reason pmbootstrap tells you to shut down the chroots. :neofox_sip_nervous:
I tried to free up space by deleting its Alpine chroots and ended up nuking /dev or something.
Also, last time I checked, GVFS still doesn't handle symlinks properly and if you mount an SFTP share and try to rm -rf its contents, you will nuke your system.
oh no, what happened?
@pixx Nothing happened in the momment, i was just reading my diary from a ~3 years ago and was reading the horrors I go through, and made a PSA
