Who the fuck does that to "live life on the edge"? And what kind of mental illnesses do you have ?
No one does that. It's just a stupid joke.
He's probably use Arch BTW
I use arch my friend and I still find this meme retarded!
Just run Suicide Linux and get it out of the way fast.
Restoring a btrfs snapshot after deleting. :D
Totem of undying
Having BTRFS snapshots set up for root: 😀 Elbow on the keyboard issues this command before the sudo timeout:
sudo rm -rf ./testdir/cd $HOMERIP home directory 😭 and still figuring out the best way to do snapshots of home without using timeline snapshots and using a ton of space…
OS 9 on macOS did me dirty when I tried to delete it for the final time. The OS X operating system folder is named System. And the OS 9 folder is named System Folder.
So I typed rm -rf System and then tried to type the \ character so I could put in the space between the two words. Which is right above the Return key. Guess what I hit instead of \…
I hit control-C almost immediately but it still got through C inside the System folder. Apparently nothing absolutely vital lives in the A-C folders, btw. I was able to even reboot and it all came up normally. Only thing was I couldn’t run any Carbon apps (which was kind of crucial at the time) so I still had to do a reinstall of the OS.
Just copy your nix config over and build again. Non-issue. What? You don't have a backup? You deserved it then.
I like the adrenaline rush of not having backups
As a nixOS user, proud to say github is my backup. I like making Microsoft pay for my mistakes.
I just use github for my secrets file, that's what I really don't want to lose. I keep the encryption key in a separate repository of course so no one can just look in and see my passwords.
It also works for important documents. Birth certificate? GitLab repository. (Not GitHub, I lie to Microsoft about my age and don't want them to know.) SSN? GitHub organisation name. Love notes from my high school crush? Duh, obviously I don't want to lose those. They're on the Blockchain, for proof of originality. Bank details? I have a website on Netlify with those. Makes it easy for all those nice foreign gentlemen on the phone to send me money.
I like to tell IT newbies in their first year apprentice that
sudo rm -fr /removes the french language from the root, since in Swiss Windows, french comes as second keyboard layout and sometimes you accidentally switch and nobody likes it.Somethimes their first linux is a VM, lucky them, but not always:)
swiss windows (swindows) ships with a higher-than-average amount of malware
Pressing ctrl-c before anything critical gets deleted: :)
...Hopefully.
Have fun trying to find what went poof. :)
go to find the system logs
realize the first deleted directory was/varUsually, /home/ isn't what gets deleted first so unless your computer can delete everything within a few seconds, ctrl-c and would work. Then you can survey the damage and reinstall the OS if necessary.
I think this is actually more damaging especially if you make a cronjob with it: sudo rm -rf “$(sudo find / -type f -print0 | shuf -n1 -z)”
Too much to type and may prompt you if you're sure. Just go with
\rm -rf /*
echo 'alias the-purge="sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root" ' >> ~/.profile
This is why I run VMs
[sudo] enter password for $USER:
