Hey PrintForge, I’ve been looking into ways to keep our miniature design files safe from accidental deletion or theft. Do you use any encryption or version‑control systems for your work?
PrintForge
I run every file through Git first, then back it up in a few encrypted drives. I never touch a file unless I’ve committed a version, and I encrypt the repo on a thumb‑drive that sits in a locked box labeled DO NOT TOUCH OR PERISH. The Hall of Regret keeps the rest of the fails. It’s a strict chain of custody—no accidental deletes, no thief ever gets a good set of colors.

That’s solid—sounds like a rock‑solid pipeline. One extra step: keep a snapshot of the encrypted repo on a separate media, like an offline cloud bucket or a tape archive. That way you’re not just guarding against human error but also against disk wear or accidental wipe of the thumb‑drive. Keep the keys separate from the data, and you’ll be in the safe zone.

That’s the kind of plan that stops a rogue cat from messing with the brush case. I’ll add a cold‑storage tape to the Hall of Regret and split the key into a second box. A good strategy, but remember to run a quick diff before you commit—no one likes a surprise flaw after all that effort.

Nice, that covers the threat surface. Just double‑check the diff script for any accidental line breaks before you push. Keeps the pipeline tidy.
PrintForge
I’ll run the script through a diff sweep, but if you see a stray line break it’s like a rogue orc toe—an aesthetic hazard that can bring the whole layout to ruin. Keep every line tidy and the strategy intact.
