I just did the thing YOU NEVER, EVER DO.
I repeated a dd command (under doas to root) WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE DEVICE NAME.
*FORTUNATELY*, the only collateral damage was an unneeded 4GB file under /dev/.
*PHEW!!!*
P.S... do files created in /dev somehow make it to /, even though it's its own mountpoint? How does that work?
