I very much want to actively support the ability of people to express themselves as they feel best. If I were to meet you, should I offer encouragement and support, or should I treat the situation as just like any other?
The evolution of software development over the past decade has been very frustrating. Little of it seems to makes sense, even to those of us who are right in the middle of it. My theory is fairly straightforward:...

We’re halfway through potting up all the plants we’ve overwintered, but are looking at temps below freezing for the next two nights.

Yes a back up is possible. Don’t back up partitions, back up the whole device. All 150+g at once.
Whenever you try to mount the device or the filesystems, make sure to mount it read-only so that no changes are written to the device.
Also, shrinking 84g of data into 32g is definitely not possible. Just changing the fdisk partition table doesn’t shrink or relocate the data. You need a filesystem-aware resizing tool to shrink the filesystem before shrinking the partition.
Hopefully you can just change the partition table back to the original values and get a clean fsck.

Yes, I have family members that I don’t talk to anymore because their posts showed me a bit about who they really are, or at least who they want to be.
I think the glass doors on the refrigerated coolers that were electronic displays that showed you an ideal image of the drink or whatever was supposed to be inside, but you couldn’t see through them to see if there were any actually on the shelf.
