dd: disk destroyer
(lemmy.ca)
Doesn't dd pick sda by default?
Sounds like someone's not up to date with their backups.
ls /dev > /tmp/before
ls /dev > /tmp/after
diff /tmp/before /tmp/after
<sweating>worst case for me would be ereasing my ventoy drive.
cause i for sure wont be partitioning any of my nvme drives. so the only mistake i can make is like type sda instead of sdb which would just be another usb drive🤷
I want a immutible Linux that restricts access to critical components. I wouldn't mind running my desktop in a container.
NixOS store (app folder) is read only. You literally can't mess with it. It doesn't really need a container, most things are locked down already. Of course you could mess up your home folder, but that's on you then
Yeah once I forgot I had an external drive on one of the USB ports on my PC and created an Ubuntu drive with dd and just sent it do /dev/sdb ..lost all movies I had on it. After that I always check with df -h or fdisk -l
