    I typed a really long comment in Memmy last night and my daughter bumped my hand, causing the reply window to swipe away and all my work was gone.

    So “same,” basically, I guess.

      Well, you don’t typically type out a whole server config in one go. You shouldn’t be manually editing it on a target host to begin with…

        Actually you should never be “typing a really long” anything in a browser or an app. They’re unreliable. Use a saving editor and when you’re done, copy the final over.

        Basics, people!
