Chais, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago)

Accidentally flashed a live image (PCBSD, IIRC) onto my 1TB external HDD instead of the thumb drive. Lost years of collected music and movies that night. I learned two things:

1. Don’t do this sort of thing in the middle of the night, when you’re tired and should be sleeping.
2. dd is nicknamed ‘disk destroyer’ for good reason.
