You’ll have to forgive me, as I haven’t tested this personally on Linux yet, but this webcam is a USB 3 device and doesn’t have any special drivers. It should work plug-n-play.

The reason I bring it to your attention is that it has a nice physical lens for focusing, aperture, and zoom; all separate. It’s 4k 30 fps and I can confirm that the picture is really nice.

I don’t know off the top of my head. I think that Clonezilla can modify images in such a way as they can be booted on a different type of device. My knowledge of the black magic of boot sectors and partition stuff is lacking. Also, you’d have to make sure the motherboard/BIOS is properly configured for reading the device in the same way that the original device was read. UEFI/BIOS stuff can be a pain in the ass to get right.

So my short answer is probably, but I wouldn’t be able to walk you through something like that. Wish I could be more helpful.

Would this work

Yes.

or would I have problems

Also yes.

I used to do this backing up my “servers”. By that I mean some Raspberry Pis and random old PCs running Debian. I even did so successfully when needing to restore the images. But it was fragile and also failed at times, sometimes to great inconvenience when it was a machine serving something important.

I’ve since moved to a different backup strategy for servers, but if I were to do this with a bare-metal machine I want to preserve, I’d use something like Clonezilla. The maintainers of that project know a whole heck of a lot more than I do of the ins and outs of disk management, backup, and restoration than I do with my simple dd commands. If it is something you’re just wanting to do for fun and experience, dd can work. If you’re concerned with the security of your data/image, I’d use Clonezilla.

Just recommended the audio book to my library. Thanks.

The Fast Fourier Transform.

Probably, but that assumes that the transcribers went from video to video following the algorithm. I’d suspect that they would randomize the videos they chose somehow figured out some other distribution.

But that is just a guess, you could be right.

Right here. He’s the head of the administration giving them access to the weapons to carry the genocide out. At best he is abetting a genocide. At worst a willing participant.

As always, there is an XKCD for that.
