Study programmes with data recovery related lectures? (szmer.info)

Are there any universities that offer data recovery related lectures, e.g. in computer science or engineering related study programmes? It seems like there would be much potential in researching different techniques, yet I can't seem to find that topic in universities. Is all that knowledge hidden in privately owned companies?

FOSS Alternative to Forest (lemmy.ml)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/191444

Forest is an Android and iOS app (and web addon) that lets you track the amount of time you have spent studying.

I just it to track how much time I've spent studying from month-to-month and from subject-to-subject (through using tags). I don't know that there is an open-source alternative but if there is, that would be amazing. I am about to be finished with college for the summer and so will have time to potentially develop an app if there isn't already one.

Requirements:

  • timer option
  • countdown option
  • tags (for specific subjects or activities)
  • statistics page with weekly, monthly, and annual views

Nice Features to Have:

  • study together option
  • number of people currently studying
