Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.

Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=1 bs=4M; fdisk -l /dev/hdb

    I ran that line a few times before I realized what I had done, and couldn’t remember the exact sizes of the old partitions…
