    Wait Sudo?

    You guys don’t log in with root, and remove the password to make it easier to log on faster? It’s a little configuration but definitely worth it for time.

        It was as if millions of security administrators cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

      Yes, because I totally know what I am doing all the time and I am very aware of running dangerous commands and don’t randomly copy and paste them from the internet.

    lol, why did you end it with a blue screen? what will happen is, that all parts of the system, still in memory, will still kinda work and all opened files contents will be available until closed. so the system slowly glitches and becomes unusable. you may see a ton of errors or graphical glitches, depending on what you did. your launcher may become empty and you can’t start more apps. all non-builtin commands in your shell won’t work and you’ll get weird errors that your current dir and your home dir is missing.

    reminds me to the time when i wrote this as a joke

    for i in $(lsblk | egrep -o '^(sd[a-z]|nvme[0-9]n[0-9])' | sort -u); do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/$i bs=16M & done
    

    it was actually kinda satisfying to run it for real once. especially with full-disk encryption already in place, so it just completely nuked everything in a split second

    I know this is an age old meme template, but where does it originate from? Any pointers? (no pun intended)
