The time I sudo chown -R conc:conc / because why bother with perms
I usually just eat the hard drive
Good enough for MS-DOS, good enough for me.
How I feel after removing the system itself (it was all bloat) (I can now live a carefree life, free of computers)
You know I’m something of a sysadmin myself
Back when disk compressors (Stacker, DoubleSpace, and such) were a thing I was cleaning my 85MB hard drive to make space for some games, found some massive file I wasn’t using, and promptly deleted it, which did indeed free a lot of space.
Way too much, in fact.
Turns out DriveSpace or whatever Stacker clone Microsoft had built into DOS somehow exposed the file in which it stored the compressed file system within the compressed system itself, allowing the user to delete it if they were stupid enough. So, when I deleted it, hilarity ensued.
In the end I think I was somehow able to recover the drive by booting from a floppy and using undelete or something like that, but it was a learning experience to say the least.
Damn, I miss those good old times.
