I use a VM on a cloud server for many productivity things, the server is very budget and occasionally fills up completely with backups and such, I've never really bothered to remedy that situation with a better backup scheme or whatnot, because I'm using it so often it just kind of is a thing I can pretty easily work around.

When the server has no further disk space available and I then try to invoke topydo (specifically the prompt version if that makes a difference), it just totally lost my entire list.

Thankfully I was able to recover it by using tmux scrollback, but if not I'd really be up an ADHD creek.

Please look into this potentially day-ruining breaking bug.

I haven't dived into the code yet, but does the entire topydo app run the list in memory or something, and then try to write it back?

There really needs to be a check to ensure that at least the data isn't lost from when the app is launched, or maybe just refuse to launch if there's no disk space available?
