i "retired" at 40 am now 60, my regret is not retiring sooner.

i had a near death experience at age 35, where I genuinely thought that was the end, this was the catalyst to changing my life.

I would recommend an NDE for anyone to bring into focus what is important vs what you think is important

Sudo lost.
Move lost.
Copy lost.
No cloud.
Undecryptable.
Everything else worked.
I said my goodbyes.
