Oh hi there!
My horror story collection has expanded to other phenomena as well, so
you'll narrow it down a bit via
https://pinboard.in/u:dsalo/t:horrorstories/t:datacuration Not all the
stories involve data loss, but you'll find plenty that do.
One caveat: I don't bother bookmarking "lost/stolen laptop/flash-drive
with sole copy of data" stories. Just too many of them, and too
depressingly alike.
