I just moved my EXT4 home folder off of my old Cachy install onto my new NixOS install on a different drive before deciding to stick with just installing a fresh CachyOS on that same drive meaning a reformatting. I had meant to just copy the files so now I basically just nuked all my data :(

Mad at myself right now as I'm seeing if i can save any data using ddrescue and DMDE

    I didn't know you couldn't just move an encrypted partition a bit to the left. Ended up wiping out the headers without backing them up.

    All my data is technically still there, I guess. Β―\(ツ)/Β―

    See if the headers are duplicated somewhere else on the partition (at the end or somesuch).
