What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

Lightfire228,

I recently broke the networking stack by uninstalling ca-certificates

I was using a slightly risky command to delete unneeded packages, and for some reason ca-certificates was on the list

At least the fix was simple. Boot the rescue iso and reinstall them

Lightfire228,

If you could actually do everything in the settings app that you could do in the control panel after 3 versions of windows I don’t think it would be so universally disliked

This was my biggest gripe with the settings app when I still used Windows

I use linux now, and for someone like me who likes to tinker and script, it has been amazing

Lightfire228,

As a 27yo, I’m still trying to figure out how to better organize myself. I was one of those kids that never had to take notes in school

And now that’s coming back to bite me, because I’m completely new to note-taking, but am working on large 20yo code bases with tons of tech-debt and spaghetti madness. Along with tons of technical jargon in a completely different field. I just can’t keep all that in my head anymore

The point is, i feel like an adult in certain aspects, and a child in others

This comment chain caused me to start reading Elantris

I’m gonna read all of the Cosmere in publication order (I’ve only read Stormlight Archive so far)

Some people have slower digestive systems than others

It’s not uncommon for me to go several days without a BM, no matter how healthily or unhealthily I’ve been eating

Lightfire228,

You have to choose because they want that data, so they’re gonna make “accept all” the default and “reject all” as hard as legally possible

Boost by default loads a lower resolution image (even while viewing the image). If you tap on an image to “full screen” it, there should be a button in the top right corner labeled “HD”. Tapping it should load the full resolution image

Alternatively, go to “Settings > Advanced > Media Viewer > Load HQ images” to always load full resolution images

I like the implication that this has happened often enough that the wife knew immediately what set him off
