Well, that goes without saying. I had confirmation on probably from the |
23 |
time of KDE 3.0, and (if it was there) from 2.x. In fact, I have |
24 |
confirmation on for both trash (so I get the popup and can cancel, and |
25 |
delete right) and delete (my reasonable compromise between delete |
26 |
efficiency and trash safety/hassle). |

If I /do/ make a mistake, that's what backups are there for. My most |
29 |
valuable data is the scores of hours invested in my customized config, |
30 |
both as a user and for the machine, and I back that up periodically, when |
31 |
at least my standard working set of applications seems to be working |
32 |
without issue (and after a fresh reboot, ensuring the system init is |
33 |
stable as well). That takes care of most of the fat-fingering |
34 |
possibilities. The fact that I'm running raid-6 for my critical stuff |
35 |
after having a drive partial-fail after overheating last summer, helps on |
36 |
the equipment and power fail reliability side. |
