/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The PeerTube instance that I have been uploading to is no more. I think there are around 70 edits of mine that are no longer accessible. If there was a catbox link, they may still work. This represents hundreds of hours of work that I did that have simply vanished. If a link is broken, let me know and I can see if I still have the files for it. Thank you all for watching the things I've made/
I think your question is related to this part:
In your hypothetical scenario: no, your Dropbox files would not be lost. After you lose your laptop and HDD, if you were to buy a new laptop, you should be able to download your files from Dropbox just fine.
What that comment is talking about is how when your local files are synchronized with Dropbox, any changes locally get synchronized out to your Dropbox version. If you delete the file locally, a request gets sent out to the Dropbox servers to delete it there. If your file gets corrupted locally, that newer corrupted version gets sent off to the Dropbox servers to overwrite the intact version.
But if your laptop burns up, it doesn't send off a request to delete or corrupt the file on the Dropbox servers or anything. You just lose your local copy.
Thank you for answering my question. I was half awake when I typed it and if I had thought a little longer I would have figured that out eventually. :)
