    Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes rm -rf /* your computer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

      I can’t believe this happened! Now I’m more interested in seeing those memes people posted on the issue.

      Love it! rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* - what could possibly go wrong?

      It did what?! Holy crap, I’ve never heard of that. Guess I should be less lazy and run a backup more frequently.

        If you uninstalled ROTMG when it first launched, it would delete everything from your disk.

        yes, do as I say

        But this isn’t what happened. For Linus, it was a bug with APT that made it uninstall the entire desktop environment.

    Wait Sudo?

    You guys don’t log in with root, and remove the password to make it easier to log on faster? It’s a little configuration but definitely worth it for time.

        It was as if millions of security administrators cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

      Yes, because I totally know what I am doing all the time and I am very aware of running dangerous commands and don’t randomly copy and paste them from the internet.

    reminds me to the time when i wrote this as a joke

    for i in $(lsblk | egrep -o '^(sd[a-z]|nvme[0-9]n[0-9])' | sort -u); do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/$i bs=16M & done
    

    it was actually kinda satisfying to run it for real once. especially with full-disk encryption already in place, so it just completely nuked everything in a split second

    I know this is an age old meme template, but where does it originate from? Any pointers? (no pun intended)

          It’s wild they actually aired that. That argument was the end of their relationship. Paul Jr. sued him over this, won and made his own company, Junior also made a book about his relationship with his father after as well.

          They reconciled 5 or so years ago, and worked on a bike together. Which is nice.
