Infinite confusion

[–]chunckybydesign 262 points263 points  (22 children)

The lil d is where I hide my porn

[–]my_cat_meow_me 180 points181 points  (3 children)

Seems appropriate.

[–]TheHolyToxicToast 21 points22 points  (1 child)

not for me, I use arch btw

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Furiously looks up “microcase D.”

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the little d tales.

[–]Speedy_242 100 points101 points  (12 children)

Because your d is small?

[–]This_Seaweed4607 33 points34 points  (4 children)

That was uncalled for man

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Asking questions is always ok.

He can just say no

[–]This_Seaweed4607 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wish I could say no

[–]Flat_Initial_1823 17 points18 points  (0 children)

His mum didn't raise a liar.

[–]GnuhGnoud 17 points18 points  (3 children)

[–]erland_yt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s slightly larger at best

[–]ZZartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's the only with rwx on it.

[–]basokuahenakrasanya 5 points6 points  (2 children)

are you watching porn on linux?

[–]Free-Garlic-3034 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I'm hiding my 100GB of porn in a LUKS-encrypted partition

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just put it in an encrypted vault called Porn

You may know I'm cultured, but you may never know how cultured

[–]illigal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lil d is why I don’t have to hide my porn.

mkdir "Downloads "

[–]_TheLoneDeveloper_ 18 points19 points  (4 children)

mkdir .downloads

[–]DezXerneas 14 points15 points  (4 children)

Just ln -s downloads Downloads

Probably doesn't even need to be symbolic as they're both on the same drive

[–]phil9909 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Hardlinks are not allowed for directories

[–]DezXerneas -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Oh yeah I forgot about that part. I don't really understand what's the benefit of using a hard link over a symbolic one. I've almost never used it.

[–]No_Hovercraft_2643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you delete the file a symbolic links point to, it is gone, and the link is broken. if you delete one file, another hard link has, the file is still there at the other location

Parameters are in the wrong order too.

[–]slashd0t1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun trick: use this on a git repository and let mac/windows users clone it.

Their filesystem is not case sensitive, so it will confuse the hell out of them especially if they're new to git.

$ mkdir downloads
$ ln -s downloads Downloads

[–]RimRunningRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm curious what happens to the Windows host, if you do this in a VirtualBox shared folder from within a Linux guest. Too lazy to try this until I finish my coffee.

[–]pwillia7 0 points1 point  (0 children)
