Why my cpu making so much noise?
it’s a regex loop
Extra room heater, how thoughtful of you
I don’t know what that is, but it feels to me like it might be a fork bomb.
Edit: Yep, fork bomb.
Shouldn’t this run into the ulimit and stop?
It will… do that…

Only if it’s installed
In 20+ years of linuxing, I’ve never thought about putting the f first until now.
I always put the f last, as in first the whole command, then go back and write the -rf, just because if I accidentally press enter I don’t want an uncompleted path to be destroyed.

The French 🤢🤮
Ah, the French
This is
Sudo - Super user do; or root < admin
RM - Remove
F - forced, it won’t warn you that you are deleting your system
R - Recursively, it will delete every directory hereafter
/ - the start of your system…so everything but it not being there would do this as well
Never rm -rf if you actually need to do it for something then you know well enough that it is necessary
Ah the linux version of delete system32 or charge your phone in the microwave.
It’s more like delete C:/
System32 and everything else.
Thank you for the breakdown. Always wondered what those commands meant
Imagine the typo sudo rm -rf /
What do you think this means?
force delete recursive
I just don’t understand where a typo comes into play. OP achieves the same result.
Is this, like, the delete system 32 of Linux?
