It wasn’t too early, maybe 1997.

I was like 12 or so and I had just installed Linux.

I figured out, from the book I was working with, how to get my windows partition to automaticallyount at boot. Awesome!

I had not been able to figure out how to start “x” though.

So I rebooted into Windows, for on EFnet #linux, and asked around.

Got a command, wrote it down on a slip of paper, and rebooted into Linux.

I should mention, I also hadn’t figured out about privileges, or at least why you wouldn’t want to run around as root.

Anyway, I started typing in the command that I wrote down: rm -rf /.

I don’t have to tell you all, that is not the correct command. The correct command was startx.

After I figured it was taking way too long, I decided to look up what the command does, and then immediately shut down the system.

It was far too late.

Is this correlation and causation tho?

Like, a lot of people with ADHD take stimulant medication.

The bombs were only 80 years ago how are they already so buried? Does dirt pile up faster than I thought??

Damn England. 30 minutes on hold for the non-emergency line is a bit much.

But at least the homeowner didn’t get shot, so point for you.

RFK Jr (our Secretary of Health and Human Services, a cabinet position and #12 in presidential succession) tapped David Geier to lead a study links between vaccines and autism.

Geier isn’t a licensed physician, he barely passed a bachelor program. Didn’t stop him his dad from experimenting on autistic children and adults with a variety of potential “cures”, including puberty blockers and chemical castration.

Sounds a little too Menegelesque for my liking.

Idk about Tenable specifically, but a lot of the major security vendors have their own pool of security researchers who very frequently contribute to CVE. Mostly from finding vulns in their own product, but a lot of those vulns are due to upstream libraries.

Kudos to TreVeyon Henderson for low-key trolling the Republicans by being a black man in a tan suit.

Bathroom? Up the stairs, third reich.

Wrong thread, Here you go

Did he come in through the toilet??

This is what I don’t get. If there’s so many regular people getting free money from the state for no reason, why are you such a sucker and not getting some too?

Fidget spinner for scale.

There must at least be MFA somewhere on the path then.

Even just keys, I wouldn’t trust, unless they are stored on smartcards or some other physical “something I have”, require a PIN/passphrase. and centrally managed so they can be revoked and rotated. Too many people use unprotected SSH keys.

I love the powerglove. It’s so bad.

Oh, different wiz.

Can I put my dick in it?

Everything about this feels off.

It really depends on both the size of the fidget spinner and the will of the child.

Funny you should mention that.

My paternal grandparents were very religious, and my dad attended mass regularly as a kid and went to Catholic school.

However, I don’t think he’s willingly set foot into a church except for funerals since I was born.

My grandmother would drag me to church several times a week though.

Didn’t stop my dad from threatening to baptize my kid behind my back when my first kid was a baby. I think it was said in jest, or maybe to troll me…but my oldest is 8 now and neither of my kids have been around my parents unsupervised. Reap what you sow.

And the Church coveniently doesn’t recommend reading it.

That’s their own fault. Should’ve left it in Latin. Or Aramaic.
