  @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:

  @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.
