An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

That's kinda it.

Four years of photos, videos, notes and thoughts, recordings of my now passed dad and grandma, etc.

Last photos of my father, actually. Fuck.

Probably accidentally dropped it in the bin when I used it as a webcam one time when I was as drunk as a skunk. Then had no use for it between that and taking the thrash out. And that was a few weeks ago, so even dumpster diving wouldn't help now.

Hell, that guy looking for his bitcoin has waster years and millions.

I guess I can manage with photos other people have, I guess. I don't really have people to look at the photos with, so guess it shouldn't matter.

I'd be grateful if you could make me care less about my massive — but boring — fuckup.

Edit I'm trying to list things I probably won't miss. My notes are mostly incoherent brain farts I have over and over. And recordings of officials won't matter as no-one cares and they're too late for justice. Photos and videos, really. But I have no-one to browse them with so whatever.

I'll definitely pay more attention to backing up

Any chance you might have used a temporary phone sometime in the middle there which got a synced copy of what was there at the time? Maybe a tablet that you logged in on your Android/iPhone account?

Nope. I didn't sync shit, unfortunately.

I mean, i got all my contacts and whatnot, but notes and recordings photos videos were all too large for that.

Oh well perhaps it's best not to remberer not the greatest of years.

I did use one phone at another point so that has some photos but no synced notes or anything.

Thanks.
