[Bug] "encoded string too long"

[harl]

Describe the bug
After using Energetic Storage for some time, I wanted to take a look at the drives and got kicked from the server repeatedly.
I was also kicked when I destroyed/mined the head at that point. (The drives then simply disappeared.)
(The server did not crash or restart.)

To Reproduce

1. fill ES drives with all kinds of items
2. click on "Drives"

Expected behaviour

• not getting kicked
• being able to see the drives and remove them from the head
• drives should automatically reject items (or additional item types) if tags/strings exceed max length

Versions
MC: 1.18.1 Paper build 110
Java: 17 (only FTP and server console, no shell access)

That is super weird tbh, could you send me your players.yml?

[harl]

Well, after the borked drives disappeared, I created a new system & drives, so the old stuff is gone.
I've uploaded the current players.yml there:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ssSqmZuuW6r8lkuBJE6hFo9_2fah2j6/view?usp=sharing
As far as I can see, there's practically nothing wrong with this one.
But I'll get back here, if I get the same error again.

Maybe there's a way you can backup the file periodically (with some other software) so when it does happen, you don't lose as much progress.

Also, if you know what type of item you put in the system that caused it to happen, I might be able to trouble shoot it.
