JanC | PriceChild: at least Ubuntu adds » alias rm='rm -i --preserve-root' « to .bashrc by default now, so the classic version for that "joke" would hopefully cause no harm to newbies... | 01:06 |
---|---|---|
gnomefreak | rm -rf doesnt obey that alias iirc | 01:08 |
gnomefreak | and to remove root dir you need -rf and sudo | 01:08 |
PriceChild | JanC, people were caught out | 01:08 |
JanC | it only works for "/", so if they say to do that on /home that guard wouldn't work indeed | 01:11 |
* Hobbsee didn't know about -i --preserve-root | 01:11 | |
JanC | -i = interactive | 01:12 |
JanC | --preserve-root forbids rm -rf on "/" | 01:12 |
JanC | it's invented because of the common / path/to/ error I guess | 01:13 |

LjL | snake, it would have been easier, at least for me, if you had joined with the "asaup" nickname | 15:50 |
LjL | now you've made me wonder who i was looking at | 15:50 |
Pici | I'm confused. | 15:51 |
LjL | snake, yesterday i told you the following: | 15:51 |
LjL | [Tue Nov 13 2007] [18:53:21] <LjL> hm, asaup, you realize that responding to insults with insults is worse than insulting in the first place? channels have trolls. they're idiots. making you reach their level is what they want. | 15:51 |
Pici | But dont mind me, I'm always confused. | 15:51 |
LjL | [Tue Nov 13 2007] [18:57:36] <LjL> also, asaup, changing your nickname and all the various identifying information doesn't testify in your favor - at all | 15:51 |
LjL | then you went away | 15:51 |
snake | LjL: sorry | 15:52 |
snake | that is my registered | 15:52 |
snake | nick | 15:52 |
snake | i use this nick not here | 15:52 |
snake | but konversation has remembered my nick | 15:52 |
snake | its always me | 15:52 |
LjL | snake, when banned people change their identifying information, we usually suspect (and with good reason) that they're trying to dodge the ban. | 15:53 |
LjL | i'll make an exception and assume you aren't doing that | 15:53 |
LjL | just please make sure you abide by the guidelines and everything in « /msg ubotu etiquette » | 15:53 |
snake | LjL: no | 15:54 |
snake | i do not want that | 15:55 |
snake | plese take | 15:55 |
snake | as much time | 15:55 |
snake | as you want | 15:55 |
LjL | want what? | 15:55 |
snake | to consider if i am doing | 15:55 |
snake | something wrong | 15:55 |
snake | what i mean is that | 15:55 |
snake | i will never | 15:55 |
snake | wanted to do something out the rules | 15:56 |
LjL | snake, i've considered, and i've decided that time will tell us if you deserve other bans. right now though, you are free to join. | 15:56 |
snake | sorry for that | 15:56 |
snake | you can see other logs if you want so please see any log with snake or asaup | 15:56 |
snake | they are mine | 15:56 |
snake | you will see that this is the first time | 15:57 |
LjL | snake: remember, trolls should not be fed. if someone is trolling heavily, come here and tell us - don't insult them back | 15:57 |
snake | from the beggining | 15:57 |
LjL | snake: yup, i can see that. i'm confident it will be the only time too | 15:57 |
LjL | so, join and enojy | 15:57 |

snake | because i have always passed a fantastic time | 15:58 |
snake | here | 15:58 |

nalioth | jdong: i see | 19:09 |
nalioth | as it doesn't break the system, i have to wonder why we are making such a deal on it (this is not the first time a package has been held in such a manner) | 19:10 |
jdong | nalioth: that's a relative term. If my system is a Samba server then it breaks everything about it | 19:10 |
Pici | I've seen a large number of people with production systems not doing adequate upgrade testing. | 19:11 |
nalioth | jdong: if i'm not mistaken, folks running a server shouldn't be affected until they reboot. do samba server users think like windows users and reboot with each upgrade? | 19:12 |
jdong | nalioth: AFAIK it's affected as soon as the Samba server is restarted | 19:13 |
jdong | and Samba server admins better be doing whatever is necessary to effect a security update, when it is applied | 19:13 |
Pici | Dont most packages restart their daemons as soon in the post-install steps? | 19:13 |
jdong | yes | 19:13 |
jdong | I don't have a Dapper box to test this out on (my Dapper server is actually a Samba PDC) | 19:14 |
nalioth | jdong: so if it didn't install, there should be no postinstall script? | 19:14 |
jdong | and if I applied this update, my home network will be completely knocked out | 19:14 |
jdong | nalioth: assuming the user didn't get the faulty update, they are unaffected | 19:14 |
