Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.
Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.
This… OMG!
All started with a
docker run -v ...on sub folder on my home directory. The command changed the ownership of some files to root…In order to get my permissions back I
sudoand tried to runchown -R andrefsp:andrefsp ./*on the folder.Thing is… My stupid ass didn’t actually typed
./*but/*instead followed by an angry Enter… It was so fast… So quick… The whole thing was fucked beyond recognition…Wouldn’t it be nice if Linux always prompted for confirmation (with red text or something) if you were messing around with / since that’s not something someone does very often.
