UPDATED Google Drive users are reporting files mysteriously disappearing from the service, with some netizens on the goliath’s support forums claiming six or more months of work have unceremoniously vanished.
The issue has been rumbling for a few days, with one user logging into Google Drive and finding things as they were in May 2023.
Ha. Amateurs. I disappeared YEARS of my files by self-hosting.

… Why were you doing anything remotely like formatting a drive while drunk?
Nothing bad happened last time??

If you just did a format and didn’t overwrite the whole disk you could use DMDE, ddrescue, photorec, or testdisk to restore the files.
Or even something nonfree like recuva.
But this is why you’re supposed to do backups in 3s!
HRM. I may have to try this on an old disk that got accidentally formatted years ago that I haven’t touched since.
Thanks.

If you can’t do it drunk don’t do it sober.
Well you know, it’s 2 AM, you’ve had a couple beers, and you say to yourself “you know what would be a GREAT idea, if I split these two RAID arrays and rearrange the disks so that the ones with pristine SMART are more evenly distributed!”
I mean, you think it’s more enjoyable doing that sober?
Maybe they are an alcoholic
Or maybe workaholic
One thing leads to another, yeah yeah.
For confidence boost. Didn’t anyone tell you booze increases your mental HP /jk
Never flash disks/pendrives on evening or if you want things quickly done. Always unplug everything else first. Or else Murphys law.
