What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

Mine falls along with the people who were distracted. Was doing two deployments for work on night and on one I need to clear a cache. As I was typing the cd command, I happened to glance at the instructions for the other deployment and for some reason my mind switched to the deployment folder. I then typed out rm -rf *, and as I hit return realized I wasn’t in the cache subdir. Blew away our prod environment and it took hours to get it all restored. The restore kept asking the guy to go pull tape . It was nerve wracking because depending on the tape, there was a chance it was moved offsite. Got it all restored and turned it back on, and then had to start back from the beginning since the backup was from the night before. The other people doing deployments weren’t too happy, but I owned up immediately and we ended up changing the procedure. First, the cache clearing was done via a script after that, and I won my argument about not having to do two deployments simultaneously!

At this point, the best outcome would be for Biden to self-sacrifice, and go on the ultra-offensive:


“Oh, SCOTUS is supporting the fact a President can commit insurrection, and is absolutely immune, or at least can’t be prosecuted while or after being President?

Fine. I have just signed Executive Order , dissolving the SCOTUS and unseating each of this handpicked list of State and Federal Judges, effective immediately, replacing them with this other (waves big sheet of papers) hand-picked list.

Also, I have just signed Executive Order , calling for the immediate arrest and indefinite detention of this handpicked list (waves the thid, EVEN LARGER pile in his other hand) of Enemies Of The Republic.

Furthermore, I am resigning as President of the United States immediately, please stand and sing Our National Anthem to welcome President Kamala Harris to the Oval Office as the new Executive In Chief. Thank You and Good Night.”


(Just in case there’s a way to veto these Executive Orders, he should send guards to discreetly lock Congress at nighttime so they can’t hold a vote just before he goes on TV.)


I think you’d see either some VERY quick backtracking by the entire SCOTUS, plus the GOP asking for an emergency meeting and a chance to make things right, or a short Civil War. Which is coming anyhow, by the looks of it, so might as well get it over with now.


He’s near the end of his life, so why not perform this selfless act for the good of the nation?

I had to clean our Deke's cock from all the cum that had built up in the shaft. I was using cheap, off-brand cum and it didn't work well. Now I'm having it clean out its own shaft and piss the cleaner out so I can get full pressure ejaculation again
