That’d probably rattle some managers’ cages, yes.

Alternatively, a combination of find /, rand, xarg, and rm could also be fun; delete something random, and pray it was just a readme file

It won’t delete anything at all

This is actually safe to run, as --no-preserve-root is missing

A rough estimate tells me that’s their equivalent of us fucking for 40 days straight.

EDIT: Actually, I think it’s closer to a year.

My home servers have generally a lot smaller attack surface, as only a few ports are actually routed to them, so in theoey I could get away with a more relaxed approach. But I’m also a big believer in defense-in-depth, so I follow the same rules of thumb:

• iptables (or equivalent) that drops anything incoming that isn’t wanted. It also rejects anything going out that isn’t planned for.
• any public facing service (except ssh) gets its own user
• disable root login via ssh
• ssh login with key only on any user in sudoers

If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you

Well, there’s a footnote on my end: Me taking the drives home is a bit of a grey area, as the procedures say that the drives are to be mechanically destroyed when no longer needed. It doesn’t specify needed by whom. And I do attack them with my angle grinder, so it’s in accordance with company policy.

And yes, my employer knows and is OK with it. We go through a ridiculous amount of drives due to large storage needs, so pragmatism tends to trump bureaucracy.

I usually scavenge old drives from work. On one hand they’re a bit smaller than I’d like them to be, but on the other hand they’re free except from the minor work and documentation involved in ensuring that no company related data remain.

Thanks for this, as it explains a lot.

Also, wouldn’t Qhadafia be better explained through Rhodesia?

No Pornhub option?

Yup, there’s no kinkshaming here

“Task failed successfully” was actually uttered numerous times earlier this week at work; we were testing this robotics and automation system and trying to detect various failure modes, and this was declared every time we managed to produce a new fault. This was so that we could write procedures on what the operators should do under various circumstances.

He’s missing the wedding ring

It’d probably work if they started killing the topmost million

Which filesystem are you using? Some filesystems are better at handling power failure than others, and some write a backup partition table to the disk in other locations. It could be that you were just really really unlucky, but the partition table just needs to be restored. Hard to say for sure without examining your filesystem.

Nice coc bro

Let’s see…

Factorio: 7526 hours
Dwarf Fortress: Untracked, as I bought it on steam only to support the devs. When I worked on a ship, Dwarf Fortress was my go-to when I was off shift, as it was a great way to unwind, but it must be well over a thousand.

I actually only have 100h in Dyson, and maybe 3 in satisfactory.

Other noteworthy titles:
Kerbal Space Program: 1582
Rimworld: 1048
HoI IV: 1200
War Thunder: 1768

And you seem like the kind of person who were actually invited to said house, and tells the HOA-wannabe who showed up just to complain about the lawn to sod off.

In other words: You’re a hoopy frood

You seem like the kind of person that goes to other people’s houses uninvited just to complain about their lawn being unkempt.
