For me it is not recording credentials with the assumption I would simply remember them later, while having every opportunity to archive them before eventually forgetting. Also, not keeping detailed enough notes & photos of exactly how my hardware is attached.
dd if=fedora.iso of=my ssd instead of flash drive :’(
Now you know why it’s called the Disk Destroyer.
Before using dd, I prefer to run lsblk first so that I can see what each disk is called. Before pressing enter, I also double check the names with the lsblk output.
TIL about using
lsblkinstead of just reading through the output ofjournalctlto find the disk and partitions. Thanks!Glad I could help! This command is just so much nicer.
i love the raspberry pi imager for that reason. i don’t want no balena etcher stealing my data, but a gui is very convenient for flashing isos, so raspi imager it is! (works for any iso you want)
Always triple check dd
