I love the nvme partition naming. Looking at you nvme1n1p3
/dev/nvme1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p²
That might make it even more dangerous, because you get used to flash to usb sticks on "/dev/sda". And when you then use a device with a built-in sata drive, you might forget checking in a hurry.
Happened to me a once or twice. I am now only using bmap tools for this.
I realized I was long overdue for a hardware refresh when I learned that nvme drives are /dev/nvme and not /dev/sd[x] and I realized every single computer I interacted with was pre-nvme
An unintended benefit of using Qubes is that everything is a virtual machine and physical disks have to be manually attached to a vm before doing operations like dd. I haven't had to worry about accidentally nuking my main partition for a while.
Huh, yeah I suppose that's true. Qubes is an interesting project but I'm not sure it's for me. I selectively isolate apps I worry about using containers, I actually should give flatpak a try as it basically does that for me but I haven't seriously tried it yet.
I am immune to /dev/sda for I only have nvme
