The tilde refers to your homespace. So, for whoever's logged on, a

Well, if you're logged in as the user that you're modifying, you don't
even need to know. Writing a ~/file puts the "file" where it needs to
be. *That* user's home space.
When you are at the "dracut:/#" prompt, you are still running from the
initramfs, probably without even the normal root filesystem mounted, and
"~" resolves to the root directory in the initramfs. Storing anything
there would be pointless. The only clue as to what went wrong is in the
message that preceded the "dracut:/#" prompt.
