@mcc how many files did it delete? 100? 1000? 216?

@mcc We all make mistakes as kids, the trick is making them outside our home directories. /mates/good/forest was a personal favourite, surprisingly easy to revert a rm -rf * the next morning.

Did I ever tell you about that one time I needed to reinstall LinuxPPC, and I was going to wipe the drive anyway, so before I rebooted into the installer I tried running `rm -rf *` as root, just to see what would happen?
As I remember, it got as far as like /dev, and then it somehow deleted something that instantly made the system incapable of deleting files, and halted. After that I was able to cd around the system but VERY little worked
@mcc i don't think it's quite how it works, but it would be so fucking funny if it was the deletion of rm itself that caused rm to stop delete stuff

@mcc That reminds me of how, when EFI was first becoming widely used, people discovered the hard way that
rm -rf */could now not only break your install, but brick your entire computer:https://www.theregister.com/2016/02/02/delete_efivars_linux/
@rachelplusplus @mcc The github issue linked in the El Reg article didn't exactly cover systemd folks in glory.
Report:
"hey, systemd has an unsafe default that can cause bricking of certain [bad] hardware"Pottering [paraphrased]:
"don't care, I'm sad cuz some people got mad at systemd, fuck off" -

@mcc I did something similar but on Windows when I was about 15. It was a system I was going to reformat anyway (funnily enough to install Linux on it). Instead of deleting files I opened the registry editor and started deleting things randomly. Most things kept working, but eventually I managed to delete whatever associated exe files with the program loader. You couldn't start any programs anymore, whenever you tried you'd just get the "what program do you want to open this file with" dialog.

@frikinin i… honestly… you know what… i think that might have literally happened. that wouldn't happen on most linuces but early linuxppc was a weird creature

@mcc "this is not a post of honor. No highly esteemed ricing is commemorated here. [...] The danger is to the file system and it can brick."

@mcc My coworker at a former job once deleted our university PC lab's whole software collection using `rm -rf /` on a PC he wanted to reinstall... the software was mounted from a central server via NFS and writable by accident

@mcc I did this to a freebsd box I was getting ready to reinstall on. it was fun watching everything go away until it just, stopped.

@sparkit no, questo non lo conoscevo; sul tema solo qualche racconto.

Ho visto commenti (qui e nella discussione che ha ispirato il sondaggio) con posizioni tipo «eh ma il lavoro» «eh ma la noia» che penso meritino di essere considerati.
La questione della noia sinceramente non me la sarei mai posta. Ci sono talmente tante cose da studiare, da imparare, da fare che non sarei detto «e mo' che faccio» (relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/505/).
(Ovviamente il fatto che ci siano cose da fare non vuol dire che si facciano, vedi il mio nick.)

@oblomov pensavo lo conoscessi già. Mi ricordo di averne sentito parlare perché aveva avuto successo anche grazie alla diffusione via torrent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Earth#Publicity_through_filesharing

@sparkit questo me lo procuro anche perché voglio vedere come spiegano un uomo di 14K anni fa che sembra un uomo moderno ;-)
Comunque sí, il tema nella narrativa è stato toccato un po' di volte.
