  • I agree that you should recover (read), from the original media where the data was, I suspect something is lost along the way with dd when talking about deleted stuff or “marked for deletion”.

    I hope nobody is using the drive where the data was deleted from, as you may already know that that will decrease any chance of recovery.

    I’ve used Photorec in the past and it was pretty straightforward when it found stuff. I’ve also used TestDisk to recover corrupted partitions, but I didn’t know it could also help recovering files.

    You could try Recuva aswell if the data was lost on a Windows machine (I’ve just noticed the community we’re on…)



  • It’s Python what ChatGPT has helped me from almost zero prior knowledge, and I’ve managed to create a (probably shitty) script that works with OpenAI’s API, uses classes and functions and can do things like recursively summarizing a text until it’s below a specific token count, among several other things. As time went on, I required less help and I could implement more changes on my own.

    I had prior (non-ChatGPT) Bash, PowerShell and BATCH knowledge.

    It’s true that ChatGPT has bamboozled me several times with wrong code, but unless it’s something too complex, it get what I need in a few tries. For more complex stuff I have to use smaller more specific queries and in some cases I still Google things, but it’s usually my last resort.

    In any case, I frequenly ask ChatGPT for a detailed explanation of what does the code do, mostly because I want to clearly understand what I’m using, and it helps me learn new coding/scripting stuff.


  • I prefer 1000 times ChatGPT than asking in forums, specially for coding questions.

    I can get multiple answers in a minute, multiple replies for the same question and do as many follow up questions as I please without having to wait patiently for an answer.

    I still don’t know how I managed to learn PowerShell on my own using Google only.
