I mean, Snapper did its job. My hardware failed. I managed to get it going again by hammering the button with my finger.

Yeah, I get that.

It's more that your post reminded me of another one I'd seen where someone didn't read one of those "advisories" before updating Arch. And Timeshift couldn't save them, so they had to figure out how to get everything up and running again.

If I recall correctly, they did get it running again fine, it just took a few hours. But I've been meaning to try and find somewhere to learn more about fixing failed boot, but the spartan grub prompt scares me, lmao!

I'm assuming Snapper can fail for the same reason Timeshift did for that guy.

This is what scares me with snapper.
It's reliable so I haven't had to figure out what to do if/when it does break.

Biomes exist for a reason

Yessuh.

That's why I always dug quarantine tunnels in Terraria.

Or praying the space ship flies true.

Just like Serenity.

easily affected by true stories of evil like I am.

My brain starts playing La Mer (the Julio Iglesias version at the end of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong) when I read stories like that.

If you look at them up close, you can see that every time you cut on them with a sharp knife, lots of small micro plastic pieces are cut off.

Ugh, at this point I'm resigned to the fact that there's always going to be something.

Notwithstanding their impressive feats for the time, Ancient Romans had lead pipes for example.

Today we have microplastics (and some lead issues still, too, from lead solder, etc.) Among other things.

Tomorrow, it'll be something like nanites accumulating in our body, or gamma radiation exposure from faulty shielding in whatever spacecraft futurehumans are flying in.

I give up.
