Today in thrift store shopping I found a Frisbee golf set for $3 and a deep dish pizza pan set for $2.50. #thrift #reuse #recycle

After a lot of elbow grease the deep dish pizza pan is clean and rust free. It was absolutely filthy but for $2.50 and the sake of saving something from a landfill, I don't mind putting in the work. I will probably have to season it but since I don't know where it's been, I would rather start from scratch. #reuse #restore #recycle #thrift

A large round steel pan with high sides. It is stained, inside and out,, with baked on grease and spots of rust inside and out.

The same pan scrubbed clean of grease and rust. A clamp on handle. Is attached to the edge.

"Untested backups are just expensive hopes and dreams."

Did some proper restore-tests of my offsite backups and restored them one after another into a local virtual machine (KVM) and verified that they decrypt, restore and boot correctly 🙂 (including our Mastodon instance burningboard.net)

It's good to have backups, but it's an even better feeling when you know, they work, restore correctly and the procedure has been tested.

All check marks green, next test in January 2026 🙂

Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?

Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.

I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.

I lost zero bytes of data.

Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.

When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.

Mine did

The image shows a terminal window displaying the output of the TestDisk 7.1 data recovery utility. The utility is running on a Linux system The top of the window contains the utility's name, version, and copyright information, along with the author's email address and website. Below this, the utility is analyzing a hard disk identified as /dev/sdb, which is reported to have a capacity of 250 GB, but the utility suggests it might be 232 GB, 323 GB, or 300 GiB. The utility notes that the hard disk size seems too small and suggests checking the hard disk size, HD jumper settings, and BIOS detection.

The output lists three partitions that cannot be recovered, all labeled as "MS Data" and formatted as NTFS with a block size of 4096. The partitions are shown with their start and end sectors, and their sizes in sectors. The first partition starts at sector 488392703 and ends at sector 630994935, with a size of 142602233 sectors. The second partition starts at sector 488396792 and ends at sector 631003120, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The third partition starts at sector 488396799 and ends at sector 631003127, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The total size of these partitions is 73 GB, but the utility notes that it is 67 GiB.

At the bottom of the window, there is a prompt asking the user to "Continue," indicating that the user can proceed with the recovery process or exit the utility.
