this was #footiMac last night getting files for @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca rescued by a new-old iMac.
why sneakerNet with slow usb sticks when you can target disk mode with firewire800 like its 2016! 😂
I was unsure Debian would recognize the target disk, but it didn't skip a beat.
Took 12 hours to complete the 260GB copy of public/system.
Not sure if that was due to failing-SSD read or slow HDD write, but it finished!
spinning up soon once copy integrity confirmed.
@chris @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca I don't really understand, but I'm happy for you! :-D
