Grow up and get a job.
Once you can afford your own computer, then you can bitch about it.

Stop teasing me you fucks. You know god damn well a system backup won't unencrypt the files
Always have backups that exist outside your PC. We've all learned that lesson at some point, and this was your time to learn.
>>55539463
>>55539458
It's literally a business computer you retard. It's a family business and we obviously share a computer.
>>55539469
I'm laughing. Because you don't make at least an encrypted backup of important stuff this kind of stuff happens. Get fucked.

>>55539541
Good luck limiting them to 2 sites. But running in a guest account or a non-admin account would've been best.

The best solution is to just get your own computer. If it's not your property then you have to deal with someone else's bullshit.

use backups or you deserv it for not doing basic it.
>>55539380
You must be over 18 to be here.
>>55539674
thx cunt, I knew asking here would be faster than sending it to /r/.
>>55539469
> not sure if trolling
i'll take the bait
a system backup is some kind of data storage external to your computer.
on this backup every is as it was at the time of the backup.
>>55539689
Pan de peace is garbage, don't bother

People say NGNL and Overlord are garbage too. I'll decide if it's garbage or not.

Teach your dad how to use a bootable USB drive to watch porn.
Teach your dad how to install Gentoo
I found lots of problems with you, anon.
>not having full disk image backups nightly
>sharing computers
>giving other people admin permissions
I hope you learned your lesson. Buy 2-3 drives, RAID them to RAID1 to ensure backups. Configure them to backup nightly, and delete the oldest backup. MAKE ULTRA SURE THAT BACKUP SYSTEM WORKS ON LINUX. NOT ON FUCKING BOTNET. All your problems are solved.
>>55539630
But then everyone can see your fur porn right?
I don't know how git works but git is decentralized for a reason.
>>55539469
You're supposed to format the hard drive, THEN restore from backup.
>>55541017
No.
Gitlab offers private repos for free.
Git is decentralized in a sense that there isn't one online service to publish your git repos to. You can have a repo in multiple locations. You can even easily roll your own server. You don't even have to have a server and just send patches. This makes it decentralized in comparasion to, say, Google Docs, or Microsoft Office 365.
Plus git gives you excellent versioning. No reason to not use it, even if you are not a developer.
>>55541017
>decentralized means not password protected
get off my board
>>55541079
But if I upload my stuff to say github or gitlab even if it's private the server can still see what was uploaded right?
>>55541112
First, you said everyone.
Yes, if you push it to github.com or gitlab.com. Gitlab is open source thought, you can host your own server.
>>55539380
That's what you get, idiot.
>>55539380
That is what you get for not backing your files up you cuck.
>>55540041
>People say NGNL and Overlord are garbage too.
Because they are.
I heard that you could recover cryptolocker files with shit like recuva?
>>55539380
A lot of times those ransomware viruses don't delete the registry backup files in RegBack so there's a good chance you can just copy/paste from there over your fucked registry and be golden.
>>55543450
Oh wait

haha you're fucked

I haven't seen Overlord but NGNL was shit upon shit, literally everybody is dumbed down to satisfy the power fantasies of some autistic turboneet
Good thing you have external backups.
