next step: the system asks for the sudo passwort to confirm 😅

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

real men use root accounts.

This is the reason real men cry.

[-] hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Why do real men using root type sudo, though?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Because. we can. and Linux doesn't ask questions.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

i log into my desktop environment as root.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Security? What security?

[-] Gakomi@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Who the fuck does that to "live life on the edge"? And what kind of mental illnesses do you have ?

[-] lud@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

No one does that. It's just a stupid joke.

[-] Waffelson@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He's probably use Arch BTW

[-] Gakomi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use arch my friend and I still find this meme retarded!

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

Just run Suicide Linux and get it out of the way fast.

Restoring a btrfs snapshot after deleting. :D

[-] DeaDvey@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago

Totem of undying

[-] ashaman2007@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Having BTRFS snapshots set up for root: 😀 Elbow on the keyboard issues this command before the sudo timeout: sudo rm -rf ./testdir/cd $HOME RIP 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.

[-] vampire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just copy your nix config over and build again. Non-issue. What? You don't have a backup? You deserved it then.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I like the adrenaline rush of not having backups

[-] MaliciousKebab@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

As a nixOS user, proud to say github is my backup. I like making Microsoft pay for my mistakes.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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:)

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

swiss windows (swindows) ships with a higher-than-average amount of malware

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Pressing ctrl-c before anything critical gets deleted: :)

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago

...Hopefully.

Have fun trying to find what went poof. :)

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

go to find the system logs
realize the first deleted directory was /var

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Usually, /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.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Too much to type and may prompt you if you're sure. Just go with

\rm -rf /*

[-] Gakomi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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)”

[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

echo 'alias the-purge="sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root" ' >> ~/.profile

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

This is why I run VMs

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

is it save to do this on a virtual machine though?

[-] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, why not. If you don't have anything important on the VM you can do whatever the fuck you want.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

so it will simply stop working until you reinstall the VM?

[-] ordellrb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Depending on the system it will not even have a promt or have it but /bin is gone and no command works

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The VM will stop working yes. You could use snapshots before though.
