#Haskell library and -client for working with #OpenTimestamps. (OpenTimestamps is a protocol for creating and verifying timestamps for digital files, which can be used to prove that a file existed at a certain point in time.) https://photonsphere.org/post/2025-09-04-haskell-opentimestamps/

I'm contemplating using the dd command below to rejuvenate data – 'bit rot' – on my hard drive (the drive is *not* mounted): dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdX bs=128M conv=sync status=progress I'm wondering whether I really need a backup? (what would happen if e.g. the process gets interrupted?) #Linux #Debian

I have tried #Guix but it didn't like my Luks encrypted partitionless second hard drive.
