If you need the data, don't do anything and find someone to retrieve the contents. It's not something extremely difficult, but somehow I think you should better leave it to a pro.

Have you tried booting into a livecd to check whether data is still accessible? If it is, backup the contents before doing anything.

I wonder whether using chroot is necessary to edit UUIDs after cloning?

Use gsmartcontrol, select the drive settings and select a different setting for accessing the drive.

As I wrote in another similar thread:

I have a remark on the people making comments like "it's your fault". As mentioned already, there are similar complaints about other providers as well, and this probably has to do with the recent lockdowns preventing people from accessing their accounts safely. Perhaps those extraordinary circumstances should be considered before deleting accounts or at least provide a way to pay with cryptocurrencies?

There's nothing special about it other than the way it capitalizes on political sentiment. You can find many rock solid distros with nicer features.

You can always jump on more tor-friendly sites.

All you have to do is take a step outside and test the waters on other sites.

Google doesn't like Tor, use a different search engine.

I hope that OP gets his issue resolved, but I have a remark on the people making comments like "it's your fault". As mentioned already, there are similar complaints about other providers as well, and this probably has to do with the recent lockdowns preventing people from accessing their accounts safely.

Generally all email providers won't allow this.

It's not that it's easy to open an email account at tutanota these days either.

Anyway, cock.li owner is pretty upfront with everything and that means something.

If you value your data and can't afford the samsung, get a crucial or sandisk. Your problem here is not linux support but the unknown reliability of this drive.

You can encrypt windows using veracrypt, and then reinstall linux and choose encryption during the partitioning. Some distros make it easier than others.

For a common partition, use NTFS and encrypt it using librecrypt, so it will be compatible with linux as well. Veracrypt can do this as well.

Parrot Security is very good as a desktop OS, Debian-based and with many security tools.

Yes, it requires a live iso that supports "persistence". Only a few distros support configuring this straight from the live environment, but more support it through programs like unetbootin.

I think the Sapphire RX570 mini atx is the most powerful option.

Concerning the reddit situation, I have seen many people mentioning that www.reddit.com gives them all kinds of error messages lately and they have to use old.reddit.com instead.
