I legitimately back up my history file. Mostly because it likes to truncate itself randomly (though this may have been fixed in zsh, or my config, because it's been a while). Just a systemd timer that triggers a shell script to copy it by date and rotate anything older than 100 copies.

Edit: WHY DID I SAY ANYTHING? After like 3 months of no problems, my history truncated itself to 3 entries a few minutes ago. I've only ever seen a few days of loss before that lol.

    I'm annoyed when my thirteen bash instances don't share history, but I'd probably be a lot more annoyed if they did.

    That's one thing I like about zsh, or my config at least, because I use i3 and therefore tend to open lots of shells. History is mostly local until I hit return twice (two empty prompts) at which point I can get history from other sessions. It's stuck more global at that point though aside from future history.
