| FYI, when a website erases your text that you just spent an hour writing, you can use this little trick to recover it 99% of the time: | |
| 1. find the firefox pid | |
| $ pgrep -l firefox | |
| 2. attach gdb to firefox and dump its core | |
| $ sudo gdb -p <pid> | |
| gcore firefox.dump | |
| <this takes awhile> | |
| quit | |
| <firefox dies> | |
| 3. find your lost text in the coredump | |
| $ strings firefox.dump | grep "a unique word/sentence from ur text" | |
| i just did this today to recover a long post i wrote, and figured i'd show others!! :uxn: |
