+# this file notes down what things to ignore when you make backups, for example 
+# with borg/vorta
+#
+# The assumption is that we want to keep userdata, not application data. For 
+# example, we want to keep the image you drew, not the executable of the program 
+# you drew that with. The reasoning is that you can probably install that anew 
+# with little effort.
