    It's funny that archivebox should pop up in this.. because it's something that I've been using for quite a while and finding very useful until just now.

    Do you know what it did today? Deleted my entire archive. I'm still not 100% on what caused it. But I believe it was caused by me deleting a few archives, which timed out due to the large amount of stuff I have stored. Reloading the page caused firefox to resend the previous request, which I guess somehow got turned into "delete everything". If this is not it, then I have no idea.. because the archive folder is just empty. Nothing useful in the logs (perhaps there would be in its terminal output.. but that doesn't get saved :/) and it seems to break if I use nohup or pipe it into a file.

    not exactly great for an archival program lol.

    important stuff backed up so not a huge loss.. But come on!
