It should have done sudo rm -rf /*
wrote on last edited by [email protected]So. Funny story. Back when I was incredibly new to Linux, I was trying to move everything from my downloads folder to somewhere else. So I navigated into the downloads directory on the command line and sent something like
"sudo mv /* ~/misc"
when I meant to type
"sudo mv ./* ~/misc"
Yea... That was a fun learning experience and hilarious way to utterly fuck everything on that machine. Luckily it was just an old laptop I'd installed Linux on to mess around and learn, no real damage done

Same, I didn't realize the directory I was deleting had a symlink to some root directory, at least until my mouse stopped working....

I imagine plenty of people had tons of fun with that. But you need to modify

Reminds me of the time when I bind mounted my home dir in a chroot, then
rm -rfed the chroot when I no longer needed it...Wanted to reorganize my /mnt once and did an rm -r ... without unmounting the network share of production.
We have backups now. -

You can definitely do this redirecting output. I did this to myself and sighed about 2 seconds into it after realizing what I had done.

AI will create the most cursed entry jobs humans have yet to see.
First job in the old days doing WordPress, managing someone's vomit inducing PHP? Gone.
Jobs with jQuery spaghetti calling dozens of asp APIs like a rat's nest no rat can traverse? Gone.
Welcome to the future: Fixing some "business" guy's vibe coded personal hell made just for you.

I often use the phrase "that's definitely an oopsie. Maybe even an oopsie daisy" at work

Creating a ~ folder isn't the tricky part. Removing it is.

Asking AI to make my website in C.
Who's going to fix that "business" for me?
BTW, the AI says, it's 95% done and only needs some debugging, so you'll be paid accordingly. -
rm -rf "~" may work?
No, but single quotes will.

rm -rf "~" may work?
In case you are just testing it out, don't use
-rf
Your~directory is most probably empty, so userm -dinstead, to prevent all footguns in case you put the wrong character in the end.-d, --dir remove empty directoriesI feel safe doing
rm -d /.
I feel safe doingsudo rm -d /.Because it won't delete anything that has a file in it.
