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...

I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .

When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.

I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.

It was a joke though.

No harm done. It’s just Lemmy.

I challenge you to a quaff-off!

18+ What's your favorite episode of MST3k? (lemmy.world)

I remember one day hearing my father downstairs laughing his ass off. Went down to see what was so funny to find he had just discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was losing it watching The Giant Gila Monster. I sat down to watch. I didn’t really get it then, but I’ve been a fan ever since.

There are some really great ones but Time Chasers does it for me.

If those are right, my steaks are very underdone.

Yeah buddy, that’s his own hair.

The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I’m with hasn’t seen.

Of course I used to watch the same movie about every month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.

I hold hope for you that someone makes you that perfect burger.

Back when I worked at Burger King in high school, there was me and a stoner running the late shift. I’m running the drive through and the guy wants a Whopper, plain but heavy, heavy, heavy, […], heavy, heavy pickles. I push the “heavy pickles” button about 7 times. He probably said it 15-20. The stoner starts giggling and says “I’LL GIVE THIS FUCKER JUST WHAT HE ASKED FOR.” He proceeds to put, easily, 100 pickle slices on the sandwich. At this point it’s a pickle burger with a little meat. It goes out the window and we go about our day.

Manager gets a call about 15 minutes later. Guy calls in and asks to talk to the person who made his sandwich. Manager says “sigh, what did he do this time?” Guy says he’s been eating at Burger King for 15 years and this was the first person to make his Whopper the way he wanted.

Yeah, that’s fine. I haven’t been pirating recently, but some more obscure stuff that’s at the library might not be available on the high seas.

stinerman,

Your local library also has a lot of stuff that’s not on any streaming service. I’ve watched a lot of movies that way.

Normie here.

Yes. A lot of the people who drive trucks do so because “I’m a big boy! Listen to me make lots of noise in my big lifted truck! Vroom Vroom!!”

If people are actually using it for a small business or whatever, sure, I’ll live, but most of the people who buy them are just buying them because they want people to know their dicks are small.

The old joke is that “Ubuntu” is a Bantu word meaning “can’t install Debian.”

Read that as “TV for Kansans” and it still fits.

Where’s your shell?

stinerman,
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

Yeah I think Arch is fine, but I’d never recommend it to a new Linux user.

stinerman,
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

This is definitely a dril subtweet.

I run Debian as my daily driver on 10-year old hardware. This tracks.
