--no-preserve-rootor it won’t do anything.Me when I accidentally type in
sudo rm -rf /: how the fuck did I accidentally type that in?trying to remove the French language pack is what I’ve heard.
Immutable doesn’t mean unbreakable though.
There is no such thing as immutable or uncorruptable OS. My late father would always find a way to fuck up the laptop I setup for him. He would even come back with errors that I’ve seen for the first time and our conversation would go like this:
Me: How did this happen? My Father: how should know? It was like this when I turned it on. Me: what did you do before you turned it off last time? My Father: I was on Facebook, played some backgammon and watched some YouTube. Me: …
I miss him and I would gladly give everything to have him bother me with his laptop problems one more time. I hope that he is getting some good support where ever he is.
He would even come back with errors that I’ve seen for the first time
My father does this as well. And it’s always the computer because it’s old and it plays tricks on him. He’s never done anything wrong!
He never blamed the computer directly because he knew I bought a new laptop for him. But he would say it happened on it’s own so…
I believe the saying goes.
If you make something idiot proof, the universe will produce a more advanced idiot.
(Not to belittle your late father’s intellect)
No offence taken. He was not a tech savvy person.
For true immutability, burn something like tails on a read-only CD.
Pretty sure this is the command my dad used to test disaster recovery systems.
you know. to simulate the entire cluster going poof. He spoke of having to get somebody else to actually send it, because it just felt that wrong.
(pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Pretty sure when he was asked to test their disaster recovery for his org… his first thought was probably “i’ve never nuked an entire network before”)
