Well thank goodness for Backblaze computer backup. Just now I executed a command, the reasons for which are too involved to get into here. But I missed one crucial letter, and the result was that, if left to its own devices, it would have happily wiped out everything on my C: drive. Luckily I realized what I'd done immediately, and stopped it while it was munching through a directory I have in Dropbox. I stood to lose everything in my root directory, along with all my batch files, most but not all of which I had on another system. Backblaze to the rescue, and I got everything back. Whew! Moral of the story? Back up your stuff, kids! You never know when you might need it.
@remixman Nah, they'd have just taken the drive apart and thrown it on a concrete floor…which probably wouldn't have made much of a sound, given that's an internal SSD in an Intel Nuc.
