I just made a huge mistake experimenting with the Obsidian API and accidentally deleted my entire note of "Bitcoin & Lightning Tools" bookmarks that I've collected for YEARS and I'm so fucking upset.
I executed a PUT instead of a POST (replace instead of append) without realizing. There seems to be no way to recover it. There was shit on that list that I will likely never be able to find again. This legit sucks. 😭

This is really bad news. So Sorry 🫂
Damn… Feel sorry for you man!
Oh no! No backups of the vault? Stop syncing folders etc and check other machines?
Don’t you have some phone / tablet laying around with a previously synced version ? Not familiar with Obsidian but if there is an old device with the content on it you might be able to recover it, off course make sure to not connect the device to the internet.
Hosted by a third party?
If they're halfway decent they should have backup snapshots. I'd ask support.
If self hosted run autopsy
Also first thing to do is switch it off and image the drive
It’s self-hosted md files on your machine

So sorry to hear. Somebody mentioned recovery tools. If it’s still possible you will want to kill power, pull the drives, and make a hash verified copy of the drive. 😔
My sister once said to me that if you took everyone’s problems and put them on a table in front of you, you’d still pick your own.
As much as this sucks, it’s not a cancer diagnosis mate!
That sucks Guy, I suggest looking into using git to backup your notes.
Great read in your latest episode!
Sorry brother!!
Having done similar with not so important stuff that's a gut punch. Especially when it's you doing it and you know you know better... sorry for you mate 😥
F
Do you have any system backups (like Apple’s TimeMachine?)
Hi Guy. I'm a regular listener to Bitcoin Audio. Keep up the great work! I got a question... So i have friends in South Asia and i got them on Nostr and Lightning (WOS) but frequently the internet gets shut off due to unrest,etc... Is there any solution to use it offline, even on a temporary basis?
Bottle the frustration and use it on the next Guy's Take 😁
Public Service Announcement:
Back up your data.
That sucks
Post your bookmarks to nostr to make sure they don't ever do that again? Would probably also benefit everyone else?
(Just double check nothing with keys/personal stuff ;) )
What is obsidian?
Mindmap App.
Believe or not, I was actually thinking about a decentralized obsidian and notion alternative before discovering Nostr. I believe Nostr can be a good platform to implement such a software. Will work on it.
that really stinks, my heart goes out to you :(
