can I post del-pls requests here? unix.stackexchange.com/questions/478340/… is unlikely to provide any value to future visitors

@tripleee I’ve voted to delete it

@tripleee I’m not aware of anything here. On Retro.SE this is the sort of scenario where someone might post a list of questions on Meta (a single Meta question with a list of questions to deal with), but I don’t remember that happening here... In most cases the deletion bot deals with useless, closed questions, but obviously not those that get upvoted.

but so no objections to bringing these up here if I come across more?

@tripleee not from me!

@AndrasDeak the untold tragedies behind upvotes on posts about data recovery

That's why backup is good, and distributed version control is better. But why choose?

When your TeX file stops producing an error, and you don't know what you did...

celebrate and walk away slowly? :)

@tripleee The command has a $ in front of the (( ... )). That is needed to work correctly in sh.

Sorry, should also have the test:

Any curl wizards here?

a few, occasionally! Do keep in mind that the right place for a real technical question is on the main site...
