# 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.
