Took this public tool and modified it so I can do a ddrescue-like operation from DOS to a modern machine with python over serial... Good way to backup a dying HDD on a machine without expansion.

time to boot up this old desktop! haven't turned it on in years
(the old desktop struggles to boot windows 7)
RACHEL: does that have an 840 evo in it
RACHEL: those things die if they aren't powered on in a while
so, anyway, that's why i'm running ddrescue tonight.

After a power bump, an SSD in one of my #linux #servers malfunctioned. #chatGPT helped me use ddrescue to recover the SSD image and restore it to a new SSD. It would have taken me days to figure out the details on my own. I was impressed (and relieved).

No real update on my crashed hard drive situation other than we used DDRescue to pull the data into another drive and now we need to run different recovery software to actually restore it to a readable state.
Then, the long process begins if assessing what's missing. DDRescue saved about 900GB.
