BOOM! I blew up my home directory

I was copying some files from my phone to my computer. I made an temporary mounting point in my home directory. When I was done, I was going to delete the directory, but I accidentally moved a layer above it and a single tab made me run rm -rf marty. I noticed my mistake 2 seconds later, but it was too late, the files for this blog were gone. Good news is I irragularly back up this site to GitHub so I was able to recover the files but ~2 months worth of posts are gone. Also for Gemini users, this is why the Gemini Capsule has a new certificate.

Don't worry about other files, I kept important personal files in Nextcloud and that is on a separate driver on a separate user. I'm really glad that I have important things backed up. Years worth of posts are saved because of that. I think I'll have a better backup strategy in the future, when I got a new server and migrate off ext4.

Anyway, for people reading, this is why posts from the past 2 months are missing. I'll try digging through archivers on Gemini and see if I can recover the text.

Keep backups, folks.
