FOMO is not just real, it’s everywhere. Lately I’ve been thinking about ways to combat the negative effects by being more intentional with information decay functions… some sort of algorithmic TTL on the digital items I hoard.

Or you could just occasionally overwrite your master boot record. 🥴

All kidding aside, I agree. I have backup drives of things I’ll almost certainly never look at again.

LOL… that moment of dread which then leads to relief when you realize things will be ok. Related is the joy of a new machine…. “nothing gets copied/installed until I need it”

Unless you run syncthing, and everything gets copied, just in case. 😅

Just in case. That hits hard 😂
