Got to love when you accidentally DD an image to the wrong drive.
Linux swapped around my external hard drive and usb drive for some
unknown reason so what usually was sdc was now sdb and vice versa. That and I'm tired. Oh well, there goes my 1TB external drive full of stuff

Been there, done that, trashed the better part of 1TB of data with a 2GB image that was intended for a CF card. :/

Here's a thought: if you have a large drive, allocate the first
few gigabytes to swap space and save enough information that you
can recreate the partition data for the drive offline.
Then if you accidentally overwrite the beginning of the disk, you
don't lose any data. Use the information you saved offline to
recover the partition information, run fsck, and you should be
good to go.

involved writing code to do mass duplications of USB thumb drives. I ended up, for some time at least, with a bunch of powered USB hubs and drives with blinkenlights on them, and set up a massive RAID array
using them.
I entertained myself for some time copying various stuff onto it and
doing big compiles, etc.
There is someone on youtube that has a video or two about setting up a RAID using a usb hub and thumb drives. That was not you was it?
