How do I even migrate??? I can't figure it out

How is this legal? Feels ridiculous to lose games I paid for just because I didn't migrate my account. Same with the Microsoft minecraft account migration. When I bought my CV1 there was the promise that I would not need a facebook account.

I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.

There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.

update: I managed to get it working, look at the edit

It recognised the disks in an ASR array, but the type is "unknown" and it fails to assemble with "Undefined RAID type (null)[1] on asr_". So I don't think that worked sadly.
EDIT: The RAID card I had supported RAID 5 and dmraid doesn't, that's probably why it's not working.

I could not find a --discover parameter, but I tried --assemble --scan and it couldn't find a super block.
It feels a bit frustrating to have all the data here but no way to access it, maybe a tool will pop up at some point if I hoard the disk images.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

There were a lot of “pointer hard” memes back r/programmerhumor. Probably a lot of beginner's over there.

I guess I cheated by already having an understanding of how the computer works before starting C.

Not sure about here but is was a hot take on reddit:
Pointers are not that hard and really useful
