After years of struggle of figuring out how to install ZFS on root and doing basic shit with it, I got to benefit from it for the first time today (lemmygrad.ml)

I was doing command line stuff while tweaking on coffee and having a bit of an anxiety attack and I accidentally deleted my home directory.

But I have automated daily snapshots saved which is a ZFS feature. And I was able to simply restore from the latest snapshot which was from this morning. So this is the first time ever that I got any benefit from being on ZFS.

Yup, I know the feeling. That's why it can be nice to start fresh with a new installation or new distro.
