I haven't dealt with that myself. I would probably treat it the same way as if it was accidentally deleted if I was in your shoes. If the size was roughly the same I was going to suggest trying something like this stackoverflow.com/questions/23...

I have an MP4 video that I took with a Flip camera. The camera froze up while I was stopping the recorder and now the video appears corrupt. I can still download it off the camera, but it won’t pla...

Are the corrupted files the same size they were before?

Ah in that case I am not sure. If they're important I would still recommend making a full backup using DD or similar before trying further recovery though. Theres not really a downside other than you need as much space on the backup drive as the size of the SD card.

It is probably the case that your files weren't actually corrupted, but your computer was expecting a certain type of drive when it turned on and your SD card used a different format.

I am not 100% certain but afaik flash storage only overwrites deleted data if there's no empty space to use instead. If it's an SD card you should move the little switch to locked and then make a bit-for-bit disk image first so you can keep trying over if needed www.ourpcb.com/create-image...

There's one claiming that an aerial photo of a crowd in Boston was some unrelated gathering in 2017 too. Which, if you're going to go that way why not actually use a photo from 2017?

Deleted this earlier but I'm like 95% sure I did it right this time, except total numbers might be off because I was hitting API rate limits (woops) But it seems to hold true across a bunch of partial tests:

The majority of accounts liking or re-posting federal agencies were made in last two days.

Here's The White House. A little bit older crowd but still p. close to half are recent accounts.

5,018 unique accounts have liked or reposted at least once. The most liked post is currently at like 3.5k so that seems plausible to me.
pie chart shows that out of 4,232 unique users who have engaged with the white house on bsky, 1915 are accounts created more recently than Oct. 16, 2025

He's not a bum T. the trope of the hobo-tramp is informed by Depression-era anxieties and calls into question the myths of America. It's an anti modernist work within the modernist aesthetic mode. gabagool.

Last one tonight. Prior to this week, the last time the The Department of Labor posted was in praise of MLK Jr.'s labor organizing... nine months ago. In addition to seeing much more engagement from more-established accounts, it's also verified through its .gov tld @dol .gov
Out of 8,046 unique accounts I engaging with @dol.gov, only about 25% are created since Oct. 16

Only was able to get account ages for ~83% of those. Unclear why. Could be a bug, but it looks like lots of newbs are getting banned p. quick too. Some of these are definitely bots just posting the same thing, and the rest, charitably, just suck at posting. (Cancel culture at it again smh )
shows 6 bluesky accounts with snippets of most recent posts that are just too boring to re-type here

Bobby Garcia of Killingworth CT is a neo-Nazi organizer, highly likely to be responsible for violence at the Red Ink Library during 02/2022 as NSC-131 member "Phillip Roberts," and is the owner of the "New England National Party" LLC registered in his home state.
A triptych of images that are allegedly of Bobby Garcia, a tall white man with a stocky build, graying hair, and a bulbous nose, at various recent points in his life. The first is allegedly of Garcia at the 2022 Saint Patrick's Day parade in Boston MA. He is clad in a pair of sunglasses with somewhat of a resemblance to Oakley Jawbreakers, a black baseball cap, a black half-face gaiter with the numbers "131" emblazoned upon it in white, and a green long-sleeve shirt with a black logo of the Nazi totenkopf between a set of laurels and the words "Gott mit uns." He is gesturing toward the camera, right palm outward and fist mostly closed except for a raised index finger. This is usually recognized in radical right-wing research circles as the "America First" handsign. The second is allegedly of Garcia during March 2023 in Rockingham NH Superior Court, providing court support for Chris Hood and Leo Cullinan (deceased) at the time. He is wearing a black N95 earlook mask and a black overshell jacket. His eyes are plainly visible, and he gestures toward the camera with his right hand closed in a fist, except for a raised index finger, palm toward himself. This is part of a three-part gesture where he flashes one finger, then three, then one, to represent the "131" in "NSC-131". The third is of Garcia during May 2025, attending a legislative session concerning homeschooling at the Connecticut State Capitol building. He wears a light blue button-up shirt, with a white t-shirt underneath. He holds a piece of "New England National Party" propaganda to his chest. His face is plainly visible.

This is the Department of War's account which has less posts and followers than others so it was quicker to run the analysis on. I'm kinda winging it here so if anyone has feedback on how to best do this please hmu
