Accidentally rm -rf'd part of my network shares but I managed to bring them back using extundelete.
>>51793199
sudoniggers, gentlemen.
Remember to set up a root password always.
So? Just get a live USB and transfer the files and reinstall the system
>>51793199
today i attached a parent vmdk rather than the newest child snapshot to a new vm to test something. this obviously then invalidated all the snapshots.
>>51793199
so? you su root and fix it.
I tried to do the oven trick on a z97 mobo my friend was about to throw out.
Forgot to take the battery out and it went boom, I'll never know if it would have worked or not ;_;

>not encrypting your files
>>51793199
Isn't this as simple as booting with a live CD, and messing with /etc/passwd?
Hence the saying "if they have physical access, you have no security"?
I didn't respect rsyncs delete functionality enough. Also one time I rm -rf'd my home folder.
>>51793274
>and transfer the files and reinstall the system
Or just edit the sudoers file
>>51793199
why is this that big of a deal?
Cant you login as root and add yours to the wheel and allow the wheel to run sudoers?
>>51793428
I encrypt my laptop NP.
Youd have to be retarded to encrypt drives with more than 500GB on it.
>>51793730
true, never tried it though
It was my last day at work (IT) and I wanted to wipe my Linux portion and leave the Windows. Log into Windows, go into partition manager, delete Linux partitions.
>Grub is gone
Fuck I was about to walk out the door once this was done.
I accidentally deleted the contents of my Videos folder when I was trying to sync it up with my OwnCloud. They were both named "Videos" so I figured I would be deleting the empty folder on the server. Nope.
Now I just give the server folder a different name so I know which one is which.
>>51793271
Eh, just liveboot it and chroot into your partition. Or boot another distro if you have more installed, even easier.
>>51793434
Yes,I did that and edited /etc/groups actually. Still pissed me off. A lot.
I tried to dereference a null pointer like a nub
Otherwise I am perfection
>>51793199

don't know your root password?
just su and add your user to sudo group again.

My mistake was using proprietary software.
>>51794918
does /g/ like c#? there is mono so how do you guys feel?
>>51794992
C# is garbage as just a language, and worse with the runtimes surrounding it.
>>51794992
I enjoy it, but never have a chance to use it.
What you think of this?
>>51793199
Accidentally dd my harddrive instead of my flashdrive.

>>51793199

Why is this a problem? Do you not have a root user set up?
>>51798087
Literally just off yourself, your life is fucking over.
>>51793199
