I haven’t accidentally deleted a bunch of data yet (which, considering 99% of my interaction with Linux is when I’m SSH’d into a user’s server, I am very paranoid about not doing), but I have run fsck on a volume without mounting the read/write flashcache with dirty blocks on it first.
I never deleted my root system with rm but I did dd go sda instead of sdb and ended up losing my data.
Holy shit, me too. 6TiB poof
With great power comes great responsibility. Do check twice what you write.
Jokes aside, it has happened to almost everyone… and then you learn to QUADRUPLE CHECK dd commands.

Oops.
