It was never technical debt. The Law of Raspberry Jam joined forces with George Carlin's "Soft Language".
Technical debt describes the inevitable tension between incremental delivery and design choices, not the notion that we can sacrifice design because we'll commit to improve it later.
Oh yes, I tried testing my Clonezilla restore on an older laptop, but after logging in, the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. I wondered if that was a hardware incompatibility problem, since the keyboard and trackpad worked fine at the greeter screen. 🤷
Indeed, I have a lot of redundancy for critical documents, including a restic backup to Blackblaze and many many git repositories. What I don't have is the "Get back to work quickly when the internal drive dies" that SuperDuper gave me on my Mac. That's the missing piece I'd like.
And, as you noticed, since I was struggling with testing the Clonezilla backup, I couldn't possibly trust it. Now, at least, I have a plan.
And yes, I have onsite backups, offsite backups, and a succession plan.
Thank you. Of the folks who have engaged me over the past few years trying to find an adequate backup system, you're the first to tell me that I'm indeed not missing anything and that this cannot be made to work the way I'm expecting. I find that comforting.
Now I have a way to move forward: to back up a 1 TB drive, I can partition a 2 TB drive in half, back up to an image on one, restore that image to the other, chroot, and check that that worked.
Thanks, John!

Yes, but is that really what you intended at the time? 😉

They didn't try to claim. They claimed.
Do you still want to criticize a 2L speaker's English grammar?
So that's what they look like inside!

That depends on whom you ask. 🤷 And how eager are you to live in a remote community?
I like this idea and look forward to seeing how well it works in practice.
The word they meant to use is "carelessly". We would also have accepted "inattentively".

Wasteful, but workable.
Thank you.
Shithole country.
KDE FTW.
Also use lazygit, which makes this easy to anyone already comfortable with vi.
