| trijntje | hi all, I noticed that ubottu doesnt have a factoid for !dd like it has for !rm, what is the best way to add a factoid? | 11:26 |
|---|---|---|
| IdleOne | trijntje: you can tell ubottu in PM. !dd is <reply> What you want the output of !dd to be. | 11:34 |
| IdleOne | that will get sent to the ops team who will review the factoid and apply it or not | 11:35 |
| IdleOne | trijntje: that warning could apply to almost all commands really :) | 11:36 |
| IdleOne | trijntje: maybe add a link to a wiki page for instructions at the end | 11:37 |
| trijntje | IdleOne: well, sure, but rm has a similar warning. And like rm, there aren't a lot of uses of dd that aren't potentially dangerous | 11:37 |
| trijntje | I mean you can cat stuf to /dev/sda as root, but you'll mostly use it to view files | 11:38 |
| IdleOne | trijntje: if you can also add a link to a good wiki page with examples/instructions on using dd I will gladly add the factoid :) | 11:41 |
| trijntje | my google-fu is weak today, I cant really find any usefull pages about dd. | 11:41 |
| trijntje | debian has http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm, but thats rather light on warnings ;) | 11:42 |
| IdleOne | yeah, I can't seem to find anything either | 11:42 |
| IdleOne | I vaguely remember seeing something on wiki.ubuntu.com once, maybe it was on help.ubuntu.com | 11:43 |
| cprofitt | morning all | 11:44 |
| IdleOne | morning cprofitt | 11:45 |
| trijntje | IdleOne: I cant find a wiki/docs page for dd, sorry. Its not that critical to add a factoid for dd, I don't think I've ever seen a user paste a dangerous dd command in the chat | 11:47 |
| IdleOne | if it does ever happen there is !danger | 11:47 |
| trijntje | I didn't know that, thats also nice | 11:55 |
