Just restore from backup.

>he didn't have a backup plan

>>877948

>>877950

no it was my backup files

yeah, maybe im overreacting but all of that data is gone now. there were 4000 files and someone is probably looking through my stuff right now

luckily my loli was in an encrypted disk partition

>>877954

>Normalfag finds it

>Uses Windows

>"This drive is unreadable. Please format the drive"

>Formats

Unless you're being targeted, or in an area with a wide-adaption of "Alt-Tech" (e.g. Portland, San Fransisco, Seattle) no one is going to even know there's things on it

>>877952

>no it was my backup files

So if that was your backup then you still have the original and you have lost nothing.

>>877984

Implying OP wasn't using windows.

I accidentally overwrote my whole drive when install a GNU/Linux distribution. Not much of value was lost, mostly just shit code.

>>878011

>what is git

>>878032

Doesn't help when you overwrote the repository.

I find it pointless to back up code I don't really care about, especially if I can recreate it quickly.

>>878034

>not backing up anything more than 1 line

>>877998

I think a hobo would just try to pawn it off for some booze money.

OP just needs to work a couple more hours flippin' burgers and he'll have a new one in no time

>>878037

I'm a hobo and I wouldn't personally. Then again, most hobos aren't chanfags with a custom-built UNIX Laptop whom are right-leaning politically and refuse hand-outs, and embrace philosophies such as ATWA.

Am I Charles Manson?

>2018

>still can't send 30MB to a person without some retarded hosting site scam

all I feel is rage

Get a retard-friendly backup program. I use Deja-Dup.

Once per week it prompts for my encryption password, I enter it, and then it automatically backs up everything other than my Downloads directory and stores it encrypted on a remote DavFS host.

It's automatic, so I don't need to remember to do it, which is good, because I wouldn't.

>>877954

I often leave behind usb drives full of loli porn in various places in the hopes I'll show a normalfag the superiority of 2D little girls .

>>878034

>Doesn't help when you overwrote the repository.

You just push? How the fuck do you overwrite the repository. If you have done that you are doing it wrong. Don't rebase over trivial shit faggot.

>>877945 (OP)

>Storing important data

>on a zip disquette

Not too smart there are ya?

If your data isn't on three separate drives in three different media in three alternate locations then it might as well not exist

>lose my 64gb with backup of my late father's computer with photos and such

>having renovations done, suspect electrician stole it

>feel bad

>in the meantime, need a large usb stick

>"oh anon I don't know where it is you're so messy and disorganized"

>eventually start to search her desk out of desperation

>"why would I have it I don't take your things you always accuse me first whenever you lose something but you always come and take my things and never put them back"

>weeks pass, find new USB I like on Amazon but bills are tight and I'm overdue for new work clothes so I don't look fucking homeless at the office, hold off out of prudence

>mother hassling me about some shit

>verbally note that I wish I had my USB

>"here, have this one"

>hands me my USB stick

>mfw no face

>my mother just grabbed it and put it in her desk because who the fuck knows why

I sympathize.

>>878153

why not get a job and move out of your mothers house?

>>878081

>>still can't send 30MB to a person without some retarded hosting site scam

Encrypt your shit, make a torrent, voila; is it that hard, anon?

>>878145

>not storing your data in three alternate dimensions

Good luck when this universe ends, faggot.

>not memorizing your data daily

Plebs, all of you

>no face when i forgot the 40 character password to my main veracrypt container

>had to overwrite it a couple of times so i don't get waterboarded for its password if i got v& someday

>my years of research, shitposts, porn and lots of rekt webms are lost forever

Feels bad mang

>>878140

>How the fuck do you overwrite the repository.

Well the repository was stored on the harddrive so when it was overwritten, the repository was too.

>>877945 (OP)

Is this the millennial equivalent of having mom find and throw away all your porno mags?

>>877948

Dam right ma brudda. Seriously OP, you deserve what you got for not having a backup. Also this >>878251

>>878176

I have one and support us both. I'm just sick of living with her, but if I don't, she'll just squander the money my father left her.

>>877998

>some hobo has all his files now though and is gonna see his waifu

nobody can see OP's files because they don't have the encryption password that OP used when creating the backup

>>877945 (OP)

>have 2 of the same brand thumb drive

>one that i archived all kinds of shit on, even childhood videos and photos

>installing ubuntu from usb to friends laptop

>after finished i plug the other usb in

>empty

>i fucking installed ubuntu over all my memories

Found 8 GB micro sd in caffe

Formatted and changed my 1GB I had in my phone

Sucks for the fag that lost it

>>878145

>only 3

Pleb

LOL 128gb thumbdrive... anon plz

>>878084

>he doesn't use rsync

>>878314

I sympathise, anon

>Aunt gives me a drive with gigabytes of family history on it

>She loses the drive later and asks for my copy

>I lost them

>Have to tell her the truth

>Months later and I'm really bored

>Randomly browsing my home folder

>I FIND THE FILES IN A RANDOM DOTFOLDER!

>>878878

I do. It just has duplicity and Deja-Dup wrapped around it.

I don't need something flexible and technical, I need something easy and simple. If I suddenly decide I do need to go into CLI mode I can seamlessly switch to duplicity. If even that is too abstracted I can take it apart into GPG, rsync, rdiff and tar.

It's all there, I just don't have to care about it until I maybe need it some day.

>>878068

>refuse hand-outs

Lel, spooked cuck.

Take what you can

>>878267

wat ayynimay dat jpug frum?

>>878035

>set anything but oneliners to auto backup

>make xboxhueg one line scripts because you don't want them backed up

>become the god of minimal whitespace programming

>>879161

Commie.

>>877984

yea but most people also dont know how to use testdisk and photorec or decrypt with brute force.

>>878052

or selling your data to the fbi

>>878086

yeah or leave malware on sandisk cruzers

>>878153

do ryu jerk off every day?

>>878219

i try to store all of my stuff on 6 different drives, and back them up on encrypted rasperry IoT devices with solar cells

>>878251

There was some guy who had memorize half of the linux source modules by memory lol

>>878267

is that OC?

>>878586

>>childhood videos

It's okay anon. We know you have a cp basement.

>>878753

you faggt

>>879707

I know ppl like u. def a nigger

>>879729

>you faggt

What was I supposed to do?

Just leave it there and hope that the brainlet remembers where he lost his sd?

Nah.

Also, on the plus note I took few phone chargers from lost and found place in library because idiots just leave their stuff and don't come back for it.

>880617

Fuck off back to /pol/with the other scum , thief.

>>880622

I don't go on /pol/, and I am hardly a thief when I didn't steal it from someone, I just picked it up from the floor where it was laying for ages.

And a lady at library told me that nobody comes for their stuff in lost and found, seen plenty of high price stuff there (brand glasses, mp3 players...)

>>879729

You're a nigger, stop posting
