What?? Why do you presume the data is bootable? I’m confused, isn’t this about restoring data from some backup data? Am I missing something? Is it a sex thing? I can never tell here at Lemmy…

No it is not. Just use cheksum. Like a normal person…

Why would I spend my time defending it to !believers? “Laziness is a virtue”. I could spend the time writing even more perl code and piss off everyone else working on the project. Also I don’t have a soul, that is 1.

Every opinion is valid and people can disagree with it. But have you considered that there are museums of torture devices, or substance abuse. In that spirit what are the games that could should be remembered as a cautionary tale? For me it would be heroes3, minecraft, rimworld. These took most of my life (rotted most of my brain).
