    I still made the mistake, when I sleep deprived switched if and of somehow
    My then girlfriend wasn’t exactly happy, that all here photos and music, which we just moved off old CDs, that couldn’t be read correctly anymore, and I spent quite some time to finally move them

    Obviously the old CDs and the backup image were thrown out/deleted just a few days earlier, because I proudly had saved the bulk of it - and being poor students having loads of storage for multiple backups wasn’t in reach.
    Backing them up again to fresh CDs was on the plan, but I quickly needed a live USB stick to restore my work laptop…

    Since then I’m always anxious, when working with dd. Still years later I triple check and already think through my backup restoration plan
    Which is a good thing in itself, but my heart rate spikes can’t be healthy
