Leute, macht ein Backup eurer Daten, wenn ihr das hier lest. Wirklich. Jetzt sofort.

Habe heute morgen stundenlang versucht, den Arbeitslaptop zum Laufen zu bringen.

Ich mache regelmรครŸig Backups und bin trotzdem fast verzweifelt, weil ich einen Teil eben noch nicht im Backup hatte und wusste, wie viel Arbeit reingeflossen ist.

Rechner lรคuft รผbrigens wieder ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป, Backup auch. Werde nun meine Backup-Zyklen anpassen und noch hรคufiger machen. ๐Ÿค“

I am having very poor luck with files lately.
Last night, GNOME Text Editor froze up, and due to the way it crashed, it was impossible to interact with anything, so I closed it. Typically, I have to either restart the computer, or kill it with the terminal to make it bring everything back up through draft recovery. I messed up, and just pressed the X this time. It asked me to confirm saving files, and I began to panic, as I knew I just messed up. So I tried to correct it, pressed save all, and the program immediately terminated without any prompts.
Unlike every past crash since 2025, November, the documents did not recover this time, and I had my first genuine file losses for 2026. I have no idea what I lost, but it was not a good loss, as those documents are now lost media. I was able to recreate 7 of them, but there were at least 13 others, and they seem to be permanently gone. The cache folder for GNOME Text Editor shows nothing but empty files, except for a few, for much older documents that I have already saved. I was wrapping up for the day.
I am hoping the ideas I have come back to me. It is extremely rare for my operations to result in data loss. This was a worst case scenario, and I was already having a really hard day, dealing with lots of depression, and physical pain (floating rib injury, due to a torn ligament, alongside other issues)

Mastodon cuts off right side of text without breaking it onto the next line. Also cuts bottom of text and writes hashtags over it instead of under it:
