Seems like repeatedly pressing the center autosuggestion on my phone currently gives the following sentence:

The only way I could be happy with the fact I can be a good friend is to have you in the corner and I will always love it when I can see your face in my life again

Dunno how to feel about that one.

Me realizing that the daily database backup script has been broken for two months and I didn't notice. Whoops.

From Crying in H Mart:

Some of the earliest memories I can recall are of my mother instructing me to always “save ten percent of yourself.” What she meant was that, no matter how much you thought you loved someone, or thought they loved you, you never gave all of yourself. Save 10 percent, always, so there was something to fall back on. “Even from Daddy, I save,” she would add.

I envied and feared my mother’s ability to keep matters private, as every secret I tried to hold close ate away at me. She possessed a rare talent for keeping secrets, even from us. She did not need anyone. She could surprise you with how little she needed you. All those years she instructed me to save 10 percent of myself like she did, I never knew it meant she had also been keeping a part of herself from me too.

So I know xkcd makes fun of tar flags but I have even more difficulty with rsync. I think my default flags should be something like rsync -zhvaxPAX.
