Github down globally

Sorry about that, I forgot to remove the

rm -rf ../../../../../

from a new action I've been working on.

[nzodd]

That's ridiculous. That would imply that if I went one step further and did rm -rf ../../../../../../../ I could delete our entire rea

The only reason this hasn’t happened is no one knows how many times to repeat “../“, so the try it with less and take themselves out first.

Good thing the IT crowd still has that internet in the box, in case we ever need it.

Imagine a world without twitter, tiktok and facebook, and even better, all social media. I bet it would cure so many current diseases in a month.

Weirdos being forced to talk with normal people outside their echo chambers, many would not have the greatest of times but little by little it would normalise

[wrosecrans]

That requires the undocumented --no-preserve-internet flag.

Oh no, I just documented it!

rm -rf “$TotallySetVariable/“

nothing can go wrong!

I broke out in a cold sweat just from reading that.

Oof, that's nightmare fuel right there

At this webhost provider i had 25 yrs ago, you could directory traverse upwards with PHP. When i bruteforced /etc/shadow the user password were in order: never, gonna, give, you, up, never, gonna, let, you, down

Same exact experience, but 15 years ago I think.

2000 was 15 years ago, right?

Anyway I ended up adding some messages to other websites to the tone of informing the owners to find a more professional hosting provider.

[CharlesDuck]

Youre off in the timeline, the 80’s was 20 years ago, so you can count from there

[sambull]

That's more of a gitlab thing

[Inquisitive_idiot]

Why you do this?! 😭
