To think that something i used to completely nuke my homeserver one time can be written in 112 lines of rust. thats the power of linux right there

Well, I’m not sure how many lines of C rm is written in but I think that rm being only around 4kb (iirc) is something to consider.

But still, storage probably matters least in this day and age. Oh, and…

something I used to completely nuke my home server
