I know more than is reasonable about how gnu apps and gcc work internally. what an amazing mess of things.
@KitRedgrave particularly since disks are fast enough to handle redundancy really well at a block level. sigh.
@KitRedgrave all of this infrastructure to make shared linking faster helps contribute to *looks at notes* absolutely nothing of value anymore

@ieure I have one internal 3.5" (and a backup drive) and a usb drive. it's pretty nice.
@ieure I have a fc5025 for the 5.25s and dd for the 3.5s where I have a process of imaging multiple times and cmp'ing. I have some plans to expand the drivers to output some better metadata.
