    yeah, i used to from bookmark articles and recipes on the internet i want to use in the future. Now I transcribe them into my personal database of useful text files. which is backed up five to six places right now (internet, computers, phones, plus paper copies of all the recipes) so i shouldn’t have to worry about losing shit.

    should(n’t) is one of my least favorite words tho

        You know how they say something only exists when it’s backed up in three separate places?

        My automatic backup fucked up today and wiped my music collection on 3 of my 5 backups (the other two are manual and one is air gapped). I haven’t panicked like that since I lost my first set of buttholes.

          Duuuuude, the last time I had to deal with panic that strong, it was because my parents were asking why I had to have so many drives, before tugging on my open rig to try to pull them out. What the fuck, dad? YOU DON’T EVEN LIVE HERE
