      You know that Linux has protection against rm -rf / since a few years ?

      Guess it’s a sign that Linus got milder on the way, growing old :-) And the terrible BOFH joke of this grew old and boring as well. Gotta take care about new Linux users.

        Actually that’s RMS getting older. Afaik only GNU rm protects the root.

        They said ~/

        I don’t think there’s any protection for the current user’s home directory

      What do you mean that’s not the name of your cat and I shouldn’t type it in my terminal?
