# RawTextClub Blues | |
## Jun 15, 2024 | |
A couple of weeks ago I tried to log into my account on RawTextClub, and kept | |
getting a key error. Eventually I figured out that the entire server had nose | |
dived and was completely re-built, losing all data and accounts in the process. | |
I emailed requesting a new account and was able to get back on, starting anew by | |
building up my Gemini capsule. Last night I happened upon a gab post about the | |
DeLorean Time Machine [1] which is like an archive.org for Geminispace. Pulling | |
up my capsule from the archive allowed me to re-create it and now it's back to | |
the state it was before. | |
Usually I'm good at keeping backups of things, and it was a mistake to have the | |
only copy of the capsule on RTC and very lucky that something like DeLorean | |
exists. As soon as I had the capsule back I immediately rsync'd it to my local | |
server and put it into a proper git repo and my regularly schedule backups. | |
I should probably do the same thing with this phlog, as these files only exist | |
on The Soviet. I've resisted doing that though since that means I would have to | |
develop some type of system to keep it all in check, when really I just want | |
a quick place to put down a phlog post and not think about much else. | |
