I don't. I read them, act on them, then delete them. If I think I might need it later, I take a screenshot. How often do I miss deleting SMS messages? Maybe once or twice in 30 years. That SMS came from somewhere, so if it's really important, I can go to the source.
I use email the same basic way, pruning almost every message weekly on Sunday.
Sunday is also Stop Subscription Sunday, like Taco Tuesday, but for software and app rent-seekers.
Microsoft was about to spend $500 million on a blitz ad campaign called Five Nines, for 99.999% uptime re NT 5, was it? 2002ish.
They crashed the microsoft.com cluster only days before, sending certain accepted metrics re: uptime from 99.999% to 97.312%.
The cluster crash was caused by some errant out-of-band JavaScript being published to a live MSCOM cluster. The postmortem was not in-depth, it was a cremation. Burn and hide the body.
I thought it odd that all those involved ended up at AWS shortly thereafter, including the executive whose head rolled right out of 1 Microsoft Way.
Those involved owe Dave Cutler an apology, with or without the conspiracy intact.
It will allow, if it doesn't already, a competent virologist in a Level 2 containment facility - think dentist office with instruments only marginally more sophisticated than dental ones - to create a virus with intent that will decimate or eliminate all of humanity. This will likely happen soon, so consider that you may have to live where you are now for the rest of your life, because a threat such as this, which is very real and ultimately a when-not-if scenerio means to stop such a thing, we quarantine ourselves down to local airlock. We stay where we are essentially for the rest of our lives. That said, I'm packing my bags for Hawaii right now.
Re: climate impact. No people, no climate change. Broad brush, but evident.
Completely calm for me. HR bpm ~55 to 60. Involuntary homeostatic systems (breath, heart rate, mind, muscles, sensory systems semi-on-offline, stable body temperature, especially temperature) are synced and calmly clocking along.
It does, however, take ~9.5 hours to get the pillow to behave to tolerance.
As for terrifying? Well, there's always real life to look forward to, and terrifying is an appropriate reaction to that impending doom, but I hope this isn't an everyday for you. You could have a sleep disorder, night terrors, PTSD, neurology problem, etc.
That intoxicatingly calm space between awake and not-quite-awake-yet is about the best drug there is. The difficulty therein is knowing that the day's remainder will, at best, and rarely in sobriety, only approximate this magical state of bliss.
