I've lost track of the amount of times I accidentally deleted a file I shouldn't have or messed up a git project in a way it'd have taken ages to untangle, said oops, remembered I have hourly snapper snapshots set up and just copied the previous state over. It's been a massive time- and occasionally lifesaver for me.

You know, that's very convincing actually! I'm obviously missing out, I'll need to mess around with it more.

  If you decide to dive into it depending on your filesystem of choice I can recommend either Sanoid [0] and httm [1] for ZFS or Snapper [2] for BTRFS as automatic snapshot solutions. Good luck with your endeavors!
