Some bad news for Amazon Luna users
I once subscribed to music cloud storage on Amazon and the service was withdrawn with very little notice. That lowered my trust in the company to practically zero.
However, discussion about why tech billionaires believe you should own nothing (perhaps because they are so highly leveraged themselves) is maybe going too off topic for this thread.

in today's ep of rm -f can be dangerous we have my media collection.
I've moving from TuxedoOS to Fedora 44 to try and get around some stability issues (how the fuck do I get out of memory errors when it's VM with 20GB allocated).
Anyway play around and nuked the profile directory on the Fedora VM which had an SMB share with all my media mounted.
And rm being a good little rm followed things through and nuking things from the file-server.
Music calms the savage beast but this savage beast didn't have his music any more.
Then I doubled down on the stupid.
First thing to do would be to look at options to undelete/recover but that thought didn't enter my head until after I'd started copying some files I had locally back.
Enter R-Linux which scanned the drive volume and found/recovered a big chunk of them.
Now I did have backup - at my in-laws who live an hour from here. Fortunately they're coming down and will bring my backup drive so I should be back to were I was by the weekend.
Been thinking of leaving a backup with another relative in this city for some time and will do so now. Just shuddering at the drive prices.

^^ That sucks, my personal strategy is external drives as temp storage and copies on both Linux and Windows machines so even if one machine would do the unthinkable then I've got more machines and the external drives.
Hope you'll get everything up and running as soon as possible.

remember the old days of computer games when they used to be from the ms dos days
I remember playing games from the CP/M days.
You young whippersnapper! Why, back in my day (aaaaahhhh) we played games on minicomputers and printer terminals!
I have a Debian VM that runs a SAMBA install (no truenas etc) that I run as file server (authetnication and authorization handled by a another Debian VM using SAMBA-AD-DC) and that's where files are stored.^^ That sucks, my personal strategy is external drives as temp storage and copies on both Linux and Windows machines so even if one machine would do the unthinkable then I've got more machines and the external drives.

my backup is an WD drive in an external case that's at my-inlaws.
It was also dropped today when they were bring it down
haven't fired it up yet to know if it will still run.
something that might have saved it was the enclosure took the brunt of the impact.
First game I played, then different games on, Oric, Spectrum, Amiga, PC (Some PS1/PS2/Wii - but consoles were post pc)
IBM's online museum so to speak, lots of nice information about anything from mainframes to the people who work(ed) there.
