Hmm, Mozilla is gonna be sticking sponsored links in the "Recommended by Pocket" section in Firefox's new tab page, starting with FF60. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/04/30/a-privacy-conscious-approach-to-sponsored-content/
Mozilla turning to ads (in any form) is nothing new, of course. I at least appreciate that they are very explicit about what this entails, and that it's privacy-conscious and not part of a data collection scheme. And you can turn it off!
But, that doesn't stop the whole thing from making the user feel...used, as it were.

seriously do your backups. things get broken and deleted very easily. and store them on a different server. at home or on s3 or backblaze or even google drive. many good software: duplicity, borg, ... daily is reasonable but even monthly is better than none. and check them once in a while. if you operate something just have backups. it's important.
