| 09:57.01 | morsing | How do I match a . in sed? |
| 10:03.39 | ChoHag | Woohoo! I finally get to sit at my desk. |
| 10:03.51 | ChoHag | morsing please tell me that's not a real question. |
| 10:07.22 | hali | morsing: call ibm |
| 10:09.53 | morsing | hali: *sigh* |
| 10:09.55 | morsing | ChoHag: Idiot |
| 10:38.41 | ChoHag | Your files are actually safer while stored in your Dropbox than on your computer in some cases. We use the same secure methods as banks. |
| 10:38.45 | ChoHag | Well that's reassuring. |
| 10:40.55 | hali | ah, they mean ssl and rsync? |
| 10:43.05 | morsing | LOL! New guy that started 10 days ago has run 'rm *' in / and not told anyone... We were quite puzzled why things stopped working on Friday! He must know what he's done?! |
| 10:43.54 | hali | rm * in / shouldn't do anything on a modern linux system |
| 10:44.00 | ChoHag | It does. |
| 10:44.04 | ChoHag | rm / doesn't, rm * does. |
| 10:44.12 | hali | what will rm * do? |
| 10:44.24 | ChoHag | Delete everything in $CWD which doesn't begin with a . |
| 10:44.30 | ChoHag | Whether $CWD is / or anything else. |
| 10:44.58 | hali | yes, and that should be fine |
| 10:45.19 | ChoHag | 11:43 < hali> rm * in / shouldn't do anything on a modern linux system |
| 10:45.31 | hali | as / on a modern linux system doesn't have any files in it |
| 10:45.40 | hali | only directories and rm * will not touch directories |
| 10:45.41 | ChoHag | Oh. No -r |
| 10:46.05 | ChoHag | I assumed the -r (and -f) was a given, otherwise morsing's friend's command would indeed have done nothing and morsing wouldn't be complaining. |
| 10:46.10 | ChoHag | Well - he wouldn't be complaining about that. |
| 10:57.49 | morsing | 1) Linux isn't modern |
| 10:58.03 | morsing | 2) I'm a professional and don't work with toy operating systems |
| 10:58.13 | ChoHag | The latest release of linux is, by definition, modern. |
| 10:58.50 | morsing | 3) The main issue was directory symlinks disapearing, such as the link to our script directory and /bin which broke running all our scheduled scripts |
| 10:59.10 | ChoHag | Mmmm. Directory symlinks in / |
| 10:59.27 | ChoHag | You know NTFS supports what are effectively hard links for directories? |
| 11:02.08 | hali | morsing: funny enough you hang around in toy operating system irc channels |

| 15:39.32 | z00dax | there were lots and lots of talks as well, but to be honest, none that were ground breaking in anyway ( that i could find ) |
