I was curious to see the full text of the translated poem. Here it is via google books preview of the book in question:

Oh man, think long

before talk escapes your mouth.

Speak thoughtfully, without anger and hatred,

thus you will succeed all the better.

Listening quickly and answering slowly,

considering things carefully, that is how wise men live.

Through talk many have been overcome,

in silence few have been found dishonourable.

There is no better protection from dishonour

than being the master of your tongue.

There's another way to "lose" accounts that's a bit more likely depending on your circumstances. I had set up a google account for my kid, so we could lock down the old tablet we let him poke at. I was happy that I had managed to get him his firstname.lastname gmail address in the process.

However recently the family moved to a new country. This basically isn't something google lets you do with a family group, and until you change your play store country, your play store won't have the local variants of a lot of apps, so you can't install them. You have to delete your family group, change country then recreate it. But you can't delete a family group with a child account. The only thing you can do is delete the child account. The help docs mention being able to restore it, but that didn't work, it just said it couldn't be restored. And since google doesn't allow an email address to ever be recycled once it's deleted, I forever locked my kid out of possibly having his firstname.lastname gmail address. Very frustrating.

It involves using "certbot certonly -a manual" with a bunch of other flags on the command line (well in a script really), create the file it asks for and let it generate a new key.

Gitlab pages only lets you add cert/key details at the point you add the domain (afaik anyway), so you need to delete it and re-add it with the renewed key. It's tedious enough, but it's really only the last step that needs to be done manually.

I have a website hosted there, and manually renew a let's encrypt cert for custom domain pointing to it every few months. Unfortunately this involves removing and re-adding the custom domain.

I got a notification the cert was going to expire soon so I went through my usual renewal process, only to get redirected to the linked post from the new domain button immediately after deleting the custom domain. So the custom domain now 404s which is the last thing I would have wanted.

I'd strongly suggest a warning get attached to the delete domain custom domain button, or something similar, until this is fixed.
