Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

One time a friend and I were attempting to install a Linux partition on his personal machine with all his undergrad work on it. We installed Linux over everything else. We both leaned a valuable lesson about backups that day

Ouch. I'm probably a bit excessive with my backups because I don't want something like that to ever happen. Have everything backed up to an external hard drive weekly automatically, and my most important files backed up saved to my phone and across multiple different cloud storage providers

Yeah I've done the same, a couple on site drives and cloud providers. Although since I've finished school, only thing I can think of worth saving are decades of photos
