@npub1r7v…qwpu Amazing that Iggy is still around, though there don't seem to be any current tour dates on his website. Still, what a legend.

@npub1sh4…32nx I remember the local Computer Science faculty getting ecstatic when 1GB disk drives were available. That's not so long ago!

@npub1f2y…m58m I haven't read a lot about the Little Bighorn, but I thought it was more a case of Custer ignoring his Indian scouts' warnings about the size of the forces gathered there and rushing into battle.

@npub1ptm…2xku Is anyone contemplating rewriting libc in Rust?
I mean I get your point about memory-safe languages, but libc, like Rome, wasn't built in a day.

@npub1qty…w38h Clonezilla as mentioned is a good option; another option is the ddrescue program (https://datarecovery.com/rd/how-to-clone-hard-disks-with-ddrescue/). It's a CLI program but there is a third-party GUI interface for it (https://www.hamishmb.com/ddrescue-gui/) that I haven't tried.

@npub1lv4…ru5g That's a great idea. You could extend that to superheros, or extremely old politicians who won't retire, er, okay superheros.
