I typed "rm /tmp/ *"

And the Unix filth did it. Without moving files to trash can. And there is no way to get anything back, because WORSE IS BETTER and the the shitty Unix unlinks everything even when filesystem has enough free space. Why? Why Unix cant die and be replaced with a good OS?

There is an undelete(char *path) syscall, but it wont work. Because Unix is fucking shit.

So you just did something and now you're complaining about it? You make me want to commit a hate crime.

Nope. I didnt invented Unix.


Why there is no way to bury Unix,Linux and C/C++? The world will become so much better without them. Killing Unix is like extermination all the Jewish parasites or finding a cure for cancer - it will a major success for humanity.

It's funny because since I first linked Xah Lee on here, some /prog/riders keep bashing UNIX and Worse is Better. But yeah, UNIX is shit and GNU and Windows are only barely less evil.

The problem with flame posts such as yours is that they don't actually try to say anything interesting but usually reflect their own ineptitude. The message that I read goes along these lines:
I have a problem and I am too inept to express why this problem is worth your time. Instead I'll just be vague, you're smart enough to know what the problem is.

Well, Windows too has unlink function and it will delete immediately, because it was written by the same worse-is-better faggots, who hate users and want everyone to suffer.

if you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot, then don't kill weeds using a shot gun. Use weed spray instead. But if by chance a wolf surprises you, you may have trouble fending it off with weed spray.


#!/bin/sh

TRASH=~/.trash
TIME_STATE_FORMAT=%s
TIME_STAMP=`date +$TIME_STATE_FORMAT`

while [ -n "$1" ]; do
  # todo, test for ability to move file, $1, and emit error message if unable.
  mv $1 $TRASH/$1.$TIME_STAMP
  shift
done

That's a red herring to the point which is: you are complaining that the system actually followed your command.

The problem is that you rewrite `rm` with a safe version only when you already shot yourself. I.e. your foot is already lost.

>>14
Nope. Computer does what Unix designers requested it to do. While user requests everything to be done in a correct and safe way.

Alas Unix just doesn't know terms "correct" and "safe". Even things as simple as function rand() will shot your in the foot (see http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/random.html)

I added an alias for rm into a command that moves stuff to /tmp/trash when I learnt about it and before I deleted anything important, both feet are still present.

Unix is a computer virus with a user interface.
Unix is a toy OS, created to run a game in a few KB memory. It was a gimped single-user Multics. Any real OS moves the deleted files to a temporary area or has a way to restore deleted files. Even MS-DOS has better file recovery (UNDELETE). Windows NT has good parts, from VMS, and bad parts, from Unix.

Yeah, wasting several terabytes of disk space with stuff that I wanted to delete is a sensible thing to do.

There's also a way to permanently delete (purge) files. Only a shitty file system (sync; sync; sync) uses the first available space to store files.

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-28 15:06

Can you believe that there's no real OS that saves memory from RAM that was free'd by program, rather than putting it into a trash can for me to examine before, finally, being deleted to the OS trash can to undergo final examinations and then deleted if deemed necessary?

Modern flash storage devices will benefit from the circular first deleted - first overwritten scheme. Because there is a limited number of times one can write on a flash.

And, BTW, keeping alive filenames for deleted files will also extend SSD's live. So basically Unix killed my files and raped my SSD with needless writes.

The other day I put gas in my car so I can drive it. Then I began driving and my car started burning the gas. Whoever invented cars was an idiot. The gas should just stay in the tank so you can drive forever.

Same thing with hard drives. The OS should never write to the hard drive, because the number of writes are limited. That's why I don't eat food, because there's only a limited number of bites I can take before the food is gone. Eating food is a waste.

Like everything in the Unix World, unlink() works in the worst possible way.

As a rule of thumb: never ever invoke `rm` directly. Especially in your home directory.

You're an idiot. I can rm -rf ~ and I'll be in perfect shape because I have backups. In fact, my home directory is synced across my Thinkpad, my EEEPC, my Mac, my headless in the garage, and partially to my EC2 server/seedbox and my account on my school's network.

Some of us actually know how to use our tools, kid. Go back to /g/ and show everybody your OMG customized Windows desktop.

Yep! When dealing with Unix you ought to do backups. A lot of backups.

Yes, because as you observed, hard drives fail after a finite number of writes. So what's your excused for not backing up? You think that AVD malware that keeps popping up and promising to protect you is going to shelter your from the harsh reality of hardware failures just like your mommy and daddy do from the ``real world''?

You really are an idiot.
