I accidentally untarred archive intended to be extracted in root directory, which among others included some files for /etc directory.
I went on to rm -rv ~/etc, but I quickly typed rm -rv /etc instead, and hit enter, while using a root account.


So good to see that, even in 2026, Unix Haters’ Handbook’s part on rm is still valid. See page 59 of the pdf
The handbook has numbered pages, so why use “page X of the pdf”? I don’t see the page count in my mobile browser - you made me do math.
(I think it’s page number 22 btw, for anyone else wondering)
I dont know if you use firefox on your phone, but i do, and i fucking hate it that i cant jump to a page or see the page number im on.
Mjpdf is decent, while still zen.
