5000 files

0 backups

Someone's got their priorities mixed up.

[-] TheNSFWConnoisseur@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 3 days ago

having 5000 backups of 0 files is also kinda pointless.

[-] Reil@beehaw.org 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, those are novice numbers. I have infinite backups of my 0 files!

You have to lose it all to know what matters (speaking from experience 😭)

I once lost three hours of work early on during my learning, not much that I lost but it was a moment when I learnt a lesson. Never lost work after that ever.

And they were trying to correct their priorities by looking into the source control features, so I don't see how that's anything other than victim blaming for them not doing it sooner.

I would argue that it's common sense to at least make a point in time copy, to... IDK, a USB drive? Before trying to implement a new source/control system.

Just plug in an external drive, or a thumb drive, copy/paste, unplug it, then proceed with testing.

I don't see how anyone who values their time and effort could do any less.

As for the files, undelete is a thing, and it shouldn't be hard to do.
