Heck yeah, let's go

<&McMartin>
Now I just need to comment like six source files because I am irresponsible and do not comment as I write.

< Yossarian>
erm, when you back up a partition with `dd`, should one specify 4096KB blocks?
03:57
< Yossarian>
assuming like ext3 being `dd`'ed
03:59
< Yossarian>
err bs=4096
04:28
<&[R]>
The defaults are fine
04:28
<&[R]>
And using cat instead is also fine
04:28
<&[R]>
Or pv
04:28 * [R] prefers pv
04:32
< Yossarian>
[R]: hmm I just mounted the img from drive using /dev/loop
04:33
< Yossarian>
is there another backup system that feels more rational or
04:33
<&[R]>
For disk-level backups?
04:34
< Yossarian>
partition level, yes disk level
04:34 * [R] just does filesystem level with borg
04:34
< Yossarian>
I mean the loopback thing was strange, I could probably use loopback mount or just get qemu to launch the disk, it was my old Windows 7 boot drive
04:34
<&[R]>
Not sure how I'd handle partition level backups
04:36
< Yossarian>
oh
04:36
< Yossarian>
apparently Pop! OS is using Borng all on its own
04:36
< Yossarian>
I have mounted disks with big fat partitions of the entire disk and mntpoint/backup-pop-os-rhj
04:36
< Yossarian>
what's that all about?

Yossarian, specifying bs= on `dd` is most often just a performance thing.
05:19
<@sshine>
(I seem to recall that I had problems using `dd` as a CD-ROM burning tool when I didn't specify a good bs= more than a decade ago, but there were probably several things wrong with that.)

sshine: live and learning lessons, I guess
16:38
< catalyst>
whoever invented exceptions and exception handling really needs to be thrown in the sea
16:43
< Yossarian>
having an issue?
16:58
< catalyst>
generally just frustrated by the amount of screen real estate it takes up
16:58
< catalyst>
especially since Rust has shown how we can do it better
17:07
<~Vornicus>
what does rust do

it gives you the Result and Option types to allow you to easily specify that a function can return an error OR a value and syntax that makes it really simple to return errors succinctly mid expression
