Owww for the love of... First Gnome and now this... Just treat everybody with some form of respect, voila done..

Had the same experience; freakin' Dropbox with thousands of files (including copies of passports) it literally made me double facepalm.. Either way; it's better than being unemployed and waiting for the bills to knock you out.

Try to get them to see the error of their ways; show them the path, oww savior of the derp infested.

@JackToolsNet Amazing! Thanks for that, was looking for some inspiration and getting my 'mojo' back. :)

Waaait~.. The what now? o_O

I've been where you were and on some days till am, but you're not alone - nor will it be something that you cannot overcome. I'm going to be honest and skip the platitudes, you and you alone can get yourself out of this, but - you can and should ask/seek help or distractions to give you 'breathing space' ground yourself and recharge. Start with little steps to get that 'spark' back and find something that can be your crutch till' that 'spark' ignites your enthusiasm/love for what you do or want to do.

I wish you the best my friend and it will get better; how fast that happens is up to you.

@bahua That's a brilliant idea! I usually just assume their database gets raided or something and they just neglect to tell me, but it would be a good safeguard no matter what. :)

@cursee Thank you for your suggestion! I'll give that a look. :)

@620hun More along the lines of I don't want to have yet another account hanging out there, I have even the most 'secure' getting pwned and I would rather avoid being vulnerable to something like that, however; I know that and I have set one up ages ago, that you never use your main email, in fact I have several of them just to take all the flack of spam and what-not. But as others have suggested I think that self-hosting and/or using Github might be a solution. =)

Apologies for the confusion. XD

@gruff Yeah as Ximidar pointed out, I should've noticed that, for some weird reason I completely overlooked it. Was looking over all the wrong hills and the solution was right in front of me. XD Thank you for pointing it out as well though. =)

@Ximidar I do; and I was never aware of this.. *facepalm* well I feel derpy as all fudge now. XD Thank you so much for bringing that up.

@zemaitis Without a doubt; also have other silly versions of OCD, but hey it keeps life interesting. XD

@mt3o I'll give that a looksie, might be the best option either way, although I have limited and I do mean very limited experience with hosting. XD

@devTea Very true; and I have already got a 'shield email' for this exact purpose however; I don't know I just feel a little apprehensive when it comes to handing out emails.

@kiru15 Nothing in essence, however; I had a huge and I do mean huge amount of spam coming in recently, besides that I'd rather keep email signups to a minimum so I can keep track where and to whom I handed it out to.

Had the same happen to me while ago, just keep your head up and improve/learn and never forget the most important thing, it's their bloody loss. =)

I always try to think of two quotes one being “Work like there is someone working 24 hours a day to take it away from you.” when I feel unmotivated to get me all fired up and ready to kick some figurative booty. Or when I feel down or even burned out, like completely helpless "If you're going through hell, keep going"

Other then that some music, several playlists depending on the mood/mind-state I want to get myself into and last but not least a "panic button" that takes me either to loads of cute cat gifs or some funny fail videos.

I did do some meditation but found that short bursts of just clearing my head and resetting my focus, was better than long rounds where I just ended up getting bored or felt too relaxed and wanted to nap XD.

No idea if any of this helps, but maybe it gives you some options? =)

Holy hell that's awful... I never understood why some firms hire apprentices and then expect them to work absolute wonders without any form of proper guidance. I had my former job give me a boss, who decided he would do the bare minimum and instead tell me to read over the documentation in my free time.. I mean; probably learned more that way than actually trying to talk to the guy, but it's just... Why then hire me and expect me to push out quality and ready to go produce?

Either way; make sure that whatever you do, you cover yourself as much as possible, don't go with the whole "it might turn out well and good" never take that chance, always remember to play it safe in instances like this, been burned plenty myself in other jobs.

I wish you the best and don't forget you're awesome for bringing this up, it shows you care and actually want to improve yourself. In my book that's freakin' 'boss!'.

Do I even want to know? o_o

Had about the same thing; but Dropbox and they kept projects from 10+ years around, and personal items like passports and what-not. I just don't get some people. Stay strong and try to educate or figure out a way to make it bearable.

@CoffeeNcode Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the kind words, and right back at ‘ya with the name!

*cough*

I’m really happy to have found Devrant , since I feel like my struggles and those of others are understood here, besides also probably the only community I can make certain programming related jokes and not get sent away to the local mental institution.

Thank you once again so much, I truly feel allot better.

Happy new years in advance and let your cup of coffee never be empty. 😁

@heyheni I will, good sir! :)

@heyheni

Thank you so much for your reply! I will definitely check out those resources and keep on trucking, your reply is one of the reasons I love this platform, not only is there understanding but advice I would've never gotten anywhere else.

Have an amazing start to the new year and thank you once again! =)

Had the same thing a while back after a botched Windows 10 update, which is pretty bloody regular these days. Lost allot of work, but fortunately Linux kept on going (running a dual boot) so I could at least still work.

Basically always create backups of your things and backups of your backups and backups of those. Or something like that.... Either way; hope you didn’t lose too much progress/mods.

@Desinika Somehow this terrifies and amazes me... 😧

Wishing you the best of luck and major props for keeping it together! Go give them metaphorical hell!

Watch some rage videos on Youtube then go for a walk blasting some heavy metal. Basically see other people lose their minds, then compare my life to theirs or their victims (the horror) walk it off with some tunes and be happy. Orrrrr~... You know browse Reddit or Devrant *cough*

“I’ll remember that kick ass feature I wanted to add, and of course I will never forget that sweet hack or tip that my colleague or anonymous virtual advisor gave to me. “ Every damn time... “What was it again??!! Ow my freakin’ God!”

Hells' bells, only thing I would advise is to do one at a time, better to have one done than have several half-way done. But I feel for you and wish you the best. =(
