As a nascent digital hoarder (I can stop at any time!), the ups and downs can come quickly.
For example, I hastily mis-pasted a command and removed not the @eaDir directory and all of its sub-directories as I intended, but the parent of that @eaDir directory and all of its sub-directories, or as many as it could remove before I realized the command should have finished already and interrupted it. That was a discouraging feeling.
Then I remembered where the content in that directory had come from, checked Discord for a link, then used wget
to download replacement files at 18.2MB/s. That was an encouraging feeling.
I might be no farther ahead than I was before my mistake, but I feel like I’ve accomplished something.
