dd and bit rot

I was thinking about dd, bit rot and mechanical HDD's.

If I run from a live environment
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda

Will it rewrite the HDD with exactly the same data?
If so, will it prevent bit rot?

Anyone knows where to get the libssl1.0.0 package?

I'm trying to install Viber on my Debian 10 Buster. However the .deb file of viber is dependent on libssl1.0.0 which is no longer avaiable for download in Debian 10.

So I went to : [https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download)

To download the .deb package to install it but it throws at me page not found and every forum links to \^ that link. I couldn't find it anywhere then. Anyone knows where to install the libssl1.0.0 package on Debian 10?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Error splicing files

I am running Linux mint and I’m trying to get mac OS X snow leopard on a 2tb usb drive, but halfway through the copy paste process I get an error saying “error splicing files”, and only some of the file gets pasted. Any way to fix this?
