Missing custom.css breaks entire layout

I would have put it on a USB drive 32gb, they last a LOT longer and are faster too.
I always set ssh and vnc to on in raspi config. Makes it a lot easier to make changes and fix problems that all the sudden show up. Did you make a change to custom.css and maybe make a mistake in the saving of it? typo’s are my biggest problem anymore. Oh and figuring out what to look for in ctrl+shift+i …
I am using M.2 drives in my raspberry Pi’s now. they are very reliable and last a LONG time. Just some things to think about so you do not have to dig into the door again.

@plainbroke yes, he used MMM-RemoteControl to
update the newsfeed module configuration

given the weird behavior (custom.css gone missing) i’m fairly certain he has a damaged sd card now. they do fail

and he is in the worst spot, no remote access to the file system (ssh/scp) or the system (vnc/rdp), and apparently no easy physical access.

@plainbroke at minimum, put an easy way to get access to the SD card - like an extender to a hidden location or something.

@BKeyport @plainbroke was helping the OP who has the real problem

@sdetweil
You are more than likely correct the sd card has started to fail.
That is why I went to the M.2 ssd’s they do not seem to fail as often as USB drives did for me. and I have gave up on sd cards on anything that I do not HAVE to use them in… I suppose if I would fork out the money for the better ones maybe they would last longer… Sorry to Hijack your post. @arh
