So it appears some days ago that, while trying to resync onedrive on my desktop, I changed a setting on the heater in my office and tripped the breaker. Since then the desktop had been acting real wonky. Last night I discovered that certain directories inside my home directory were unavailable, including that one. I did not realize that my Fedora install used btrfs, but it does, and I spent a couple hours trying to troubleshoot and repair it. I ended up booting to a Fedora 41 live system and was able to back up my home directory. This morning has been a reformat and a reinstall. This time I went with ext4, because if this ever happens again I know a fsck will take care of it.
