restoring the whatsapp chat history from its own backup worked every time i tried it.

Maybe the backup was created by an older version of whatsapp than the version you were trying to restore to?

A backup solution like “seedvault” which is built in to lineageOS might help. It includes settings like wifi passwords, app-data and the apk’s.

Since seedvault is integrated as a system app in lineageOS, it doesn’t require a rooted system like titanium.

There are some limitations though, for example some apps don’t allow backups and seedvault respects that setting.

A “database of fingerprints” would only contain checksums

that’s the case for fingerprint readers in phones/laptops

But does that also apply to prints collected for government ID cards?

you would need to have created a snapshot beforehand.

Then you could restore to the last snapshot. But you would need a live system to do that, if your installation is broken

Ich habe für ein ähnliches vorhaben eine PCI karte verwendet. Dan bräuchtest du noch einen alter PC mit PCI (nicht PCI express) und genug platz im gehäuse für die SCSI karte.

Als software habe ich tar unter linux verwendet. Das war aber schon 10 Jahre her und ich weiß nicht ob heutige linux distributionen das noch können.

GitLab also uses Ruby on Rails

i’ve used windows and linux on separate drives in the same desktop for ages and it’s been working fine.

I’m using windows mostly for games that aren’t available natively and don’t work via wine/proton

ich verwende MessagEase. Zum Frust und zur Verwirrung von allen, die mal kurz auf meinem Handy was tippen wollen.

Autokorrektur fand bisher immer eher hinderlich als hilfreich, da ich viele Abkürzungen tippe die dann zu anderen Wörtern “korrigiert” werden.
