What?? No no.. Please no.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...

Sure. Just restore my proxmox vm backup. I got it running again in to time if needed.

I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.

@nobloat then it's most likely only a US & EU thing. Good to know, I can fake my origin.

Not even a second. I'm glad to first got rid of Facebook several years ago. Then Twitter. And recently also Reddit. No regrets.

Ps. I also don't have Instagram, TikTok or any of those non-sense.

we (humans) let this happen to us.

sanctuary_sanctuary, to RedditMigration

I decided to edit all of my comments to say that I left Reddit in protest and provide a link to the Fediverse. If I leave the comments up when I delete my account, can Reddit edit them back to what they originally were? Should I just delete them?

melroy,

@sanctuary_sanctuary Yes.. looking at the past history of Reddit actions. Reddit is constantly restoring threads and comments. Even deleted ones. Which is against various privacy protection acts.
