Well, just lost two weeks of documents in Ulysses, and it was completely my fault. I feel like an idiot.
Hard drive in the iMac replaced, two weeks ago, restored from backup, never launched Ulysses to sync or make a backup of iCloud documents.
Didn't think to preserve the Library on one of my mobile devices, and iMazing doesn't back up Files. Then deleted the iCloud docs like an idiot.
Another lesson learned.

I was playing Memories of Mars last night. It’s a survival crafting game with a huge world and servers of up to 64 people. You get to fight and craft and scavenge, you can form alliances, and there’s lots of skill trees. On reflection I think that’s the form that Fallout 76 is going to take. Moderately sized multiplayer servers with lots of places to scavenge and forming raider groups or whatever.
Any long-time video game players who gave it up completely:
How hard was it? When did you realize it was something you needed to do? What do you replace it with?
I’m beginning to realize that the work of conquering oneself never really ends. 32 years old and I still have so much to learn, and such a better version of myself to become.
Put a few hours into Memories of Mars. It’s pretty good. I got to shoot a dude.
Not sure if it’s an adequate replacement for Subnautica yet. The skill trees seem really punishing, and the non-player enemies are really fucking annoying.
@starbreaker pelican doesn’t get enough attention. It’s damn good.
Fuck everyone and me especially.
There’s something nice about a robust backup. So nice to just start fresh and out everything back exactly where it was.
Tootdon’s trending tab is just constantly posts from switter
Buncha horndogs on my instance
FWIW Gogs is good and easy to self host
If you want to be hipster there’s also Fossil
@gargron remember when you tried to introduce a feature to designate of an account was posting autonomously and a bunch of cyborgs said “thanks for erasing us”
What the hell us wrong with me
We scare ourselves about time. About not having enough time. But medicine today is amazing and only getting better. Most of us will have plenty of time. But good health will make that time so much more valuable.
Cigarettes, weed, drinking. I hate having these vices, because they hurt me so much in the long term.
I have food in my stomach, a bed to sleep on, a roof over my head, a salaried job, and the time to tinker creatively. I am luckier than 95% of the people on the planet. I know this is the result not only of my skill, but the circumstances of my birth, random chance, and the myriad systems that infiltrate the existence of my society and species.
Even my existentialism is a luxury. Most cannot take the time away from survival, to doubt.
Humility, patience, rigor, skepticism. Continue pushing.
@HTHR I think it’s a 3 remaster since it turns ten in October
@sophia This looks amazing.
My whole life was a struggle and now it’s not, and it makes me really fucking uneasy.
Curled up in bed, high as hell, listening to vaporwave, looking out on the city.
Everything feels so perfect. I need to hold on to it because it’s what I’ve worked to achieve, and I must not ruminate. I will find a way through every day.
