| 14:08 | < Kizor> | Welp. Deleted a whole bunch of archive files by mistake. I'm an idiot. |
| 14:08 | <@TheWatcher> | >.< |
| 14:09 | < Kizor> | I immediately stopped using that partition. I've gone through it with Recuva and undeleted all I can, but is there anything else I should be doing wrt data recovery? |
| 14:12 | < Kizor> | Anything else to be done than a pass with an undeleter set on thorough? |
| 14:12 | <@TheWatcher> | No really |
| 14:13 | < Kizor> | Yeah |
| 14:13 | < Kizor> | Recuva is listing a ton of these as having clustrers overwritten by other files - files that I didn't move there after the deletion. |
| 14:14 | < Kizor> | So has some automatic defrag or the like moved a whole bunch of stuff around and turned an inconvenience into a disaster? |
| 14:15 | < Kizor> | That said, I just recovered a file Recuva listed as "unrecoverable". |
| 14:16 | < Kizor> | I just freaked out for a moment when its readme had a bunch of incomprehensible characters in the head, but turns out it's .wri and not .txt. |
| 14:17 | < Kizor> | Imma clever. |
| 14:20 | | Degi [Degi@Nightstar-jbjqa3.dyn.telefonica.de] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 14:22 | < Kizor> | Follow-up question: a ton of these are .7z files containing .iso or .bin files. |
| 14:23 | < Kizor> | Files that Recuva says have clusters overwritten by other files are recovered just fine. The archives extract, the images mount, the files on those images are legible. |
| 14:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | I'm not familiar with Recuva, but I suspect that the recoverer is pessimistic and perhaps can't tell what order files have been deleted in |
| 14:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | So it can't tell if deleted file A was partially overwritten by deleted file B or vice versa |
| 14:23 | < Kizor> | Yeah. These archives pass 7-zip's archive integrity tests, but Recuva still says that they have clusters overwritten. |
| 14:25 | < Kizor> | Should I think I've gotten the archives back undamaged? I'm afraid that these archives seem alright but have bits of XCOM sound clips sticking out of them. |

| 15:32 | < Kizor> | FWIW, the image files I had extracted elsewhere have the same file sizes as the ones in the archives. |

| 15:49 | <&ToxicFrog> | Kizor: if they pass validation they're intact. |
| 15:49 | < Kizor> | tyvm. |
| 15:49 | <&ToxicFrog> | Or they're damaged in vanishingly improbably ways. |
| 15:54 | <&ToxicFrog> | (specifically, to pass, the data needs to be well-formed -- so the compressed data can't contain references to dictionary entries that don't exist yet, has to have the right length, etc -- and the decompressed file contents need to match the CRC32 recorded in the archive header.) |
| 15:54 | <&ToxicFrog> | (it's probably not hard to deliberately modify an archive to have these properties. The odds of it happening by accident are infinitesmal.) |
| 16:22 | < Kizor> | Cool, thanks. |

| 16:57 | <@abudhabi> | Spent five billable hours over nine days, trying to work out why our autoreplies weren't getting through. |
| 16:57 | <@abudhabi> | It turns out that Google is simply too good at hiding its spambox. |
| 16:57 | < Emmy> | Only five? |
| 16:57 | < Emmy> | ah, annoying, agreed |
| 16:58 | <@abudhabi> | Make adjustment. Do test. Wait for my coworker in China to respond, usually the next day or so. |
| 16:59 | <@abudhabi> | Now for the second-best part of the whole process: Issuing invoices. |
| 16:59 | < Emmy> | XD |
| 17:00 | < Emmy> | I, on the other hand, spent about half an hour looking in my mailboxes and our ticket database looking for stuff documenting the hand-over process and finishing of a project |
| 17:01 | < Emmy> | because supposedly one of the things i did was left 'unfinished' and didn't work |
| 17:01 | < Emmy> | despite the fact that we tested it with the user and it was confirmed to work properly. |
| 17:02 | < Emmy> | which the user still confirms that happened. |
| 17:03 | < Emmy> | product owner is now trying to bill us for the work the current dev had to do on it. |
| 17:03 | < Emmy> | despite the fact we never invoiced him for that last job anyway. |
| 17:04 | | * Emmy still feels a bit personally attacked. >:/ |
| 17:17 | <~Vornicus> | ugh. need textbooks on testing but also need enough attention span for books |
