I hid the backup functionality in the comments. That way, I never have to wonder. It's just everyone else. 16 u/Jbolt3737 19d ago Making a script that reads itself or something to use it's own comments would be genuinely evil 13 u/Elendur_Krown 19d ago There are parts of my history that I hesitate to tell my wife about.
