I know this is an age old meme template, but where does it originate from? Any pointers? (no pun intended)
It’s from American Chopper , a reality TV show about a garage https://youtu.be/3y0bQYDA9Vw
Haha, nice. I had a laugh. Unfortunate that they censored this much though
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.
Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes
rm -rf /*your computer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671Love it!
rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"*- what could possibly go wrong?I never knew this existed. This is amazing and hilarious, thank you for sharing this!
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.
Remember when it happend to LTT?
yes, do as I sayBut this isn’t what happened. For Linus, it was a bug with APT that made it uninstall the entire desktop environment.
Uh, I didn’t know that actually.
I can’t believe this happened! Now I’m more interested in seeing those memes people posted on the issue.
It was mostly LTT memes since it happend to him on video
No that was a bug with the linux package manager when he was trying to install steam, steam wasn’t the issue
Are there tools like pusshift for Lemmy already or why can you see a comment I deleted directly after posting it?
Doesn’t look deleted on my instance
I’ve never seen so many comments on a gh issue before
You should see some threads linked on github-drama, there were >1000 comments when audacity tried to add telemetry.
Classic!
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 & doneit 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
amazing
lol, why did you end it with a blue screen? what will happen is, that all parts of the system, still in memory, will still kinda work and all opened files contents will be available until closed. so the system slowly glitches and becomes unusable. you may see a ton of errors or graphical glitches, depending on what you did. your launcher may become empty and you can’t start more apps. all non-builtin commands in your shell won’t work and you’ll get weird errors that your current dir and your home dir is missing.
I can confirm this is what happens. I only rm relative directories now.
But how do you turn that into an image?
Good Question. Maybe a job for AI… or Michael Bay 💥 😆
Print screen. Duhhhhhh. /s
Last time I tried this, I was faced empty terminal. I felt lonely and lost. Not one command would work. Not pwd, not ls, not even shutdown :(
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.
The morons… Why use a computer if you don’t have full power?
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.
i actually login to root automatically in my bashrc. saves heaps of
sudo !!It was as if millions of security administrators cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
