Accidentally Deleted /boot/ (Debian) (links.hackliberty.org)

Hi all,

I'm having a bad day and did something colossally stupid, deleting everything from /boot/.

The system is still running. What do you think my best course of action is?

My current idea is to create a timeshift backup, reinstall debian from USB, then restore from backup in timeshift

If this won't work or you have a better idea I would really appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance

I was able to keep the system online and follow pastermill's advice to get it working again!

Already rebooted sucessfully.

It was a lame joke. Glad you figured it out.
