@terdon What it does rm i know is dangerous to use..
Serg

@Fabby yup, that works. I've added $(xdotool key space) to root's .bashrc . So that's a hackish way, and gonna work only if the user doesn't delete that space
Fabby

@MuditKapil We're all sorry... We should have stopped you...
@MuditKapil That's why it's always a good idea to have two users:
terdon
terdon
I'm the one who posted the command, the rest of you are blameless.
Mudit Kapil
Mudit Kapil
@Fabby Its OK :)
Fabby
Fabby
one that is just a normal user and one that can use sudo (admin)
I'm always running as a dumb user for all of my stuff, and I takes 2 kinds of back-ups:
system backups and data backups...

@terdon May I ask, what did I miss?

Backups? Every day via rsnapshot and NAS
terdon
terdon
@A.B. Well, Mudit asked how Linux can be cruel and I answered that it's easy, just run echo "rm r -rf ~/" >> ~/.bashrc and then open a new terminal. I assumed he would know what that command meant and wouldn't actually run it.
I also said "DO NOT DO THIS" right under it :(

Mudit Kapil
Mudit Kapil
so what are the losses for me
only files or OS files also
terdon
terdon
@MuditKapil Well, all folders and files in your home directory will have been removed.
Fabby
