#rm - remove a file

[random-random-things]

Congratulations, you know more programming than 90% of the people I talk to. That's usually enough to make most people completely check out

On one hand it would be so cool to be good at computers like almost all of you, on the other there is this autism part of me that does not want to learn about it, feels good about being incompetent at it, and does not want to find anything that others like cool or give others the satisfaction of being right.

And it does not even matter cause I can't afford one anyway lol.

[definitely-zen-browser]

Okay, I officially hate Apple.

I did not agree to having their AI bullshit on my device. In fact, I explicitly opted out of it. And yet, there's an app on my Mac called Image Playground. If I right click, there's no "move to trash" option.

Drag and drop to the trash? Nothing happens. Right click -> show package contents -> drag and drop anything from there to the trash? No dice. Of course, there's no "move to trash" option for anything in there either. I also tried going to the directory in my terminal and running sudo rm -rf Image\ Playground.app

You know what happened?

It said I didn’t have permission to write those files.

I am the sole owner of that device, and I am an administrator.

According to everything I could find online, there is no way to remove the app. I’m never going to use it, so that’s just 3.5 megabytes of disk space that I’m never going to get back. And with how much Apple charges for storage, 3.5 megabytes is more than you might think.

This is Microsoft levels of bullshit.

Today’s Legislative Updates February 13, 2025

Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Please visit our website linked below to learn about your state and contact your reps. Here's a thread of today's updates:

Bathroom bills deny access to public restrooms by gender or trans identity. 

They increase danger without making anyone any safer and have even prompted attacks on cis and trans people alike. Many national health and anti-sexual assault organizations oppose these bills.

Old Bills:

Missouri SB212 has a hearing scheduled on 2/18 at 8am in Senate Lounge - 3rd Floor in the Senate Education Committee.

Montana passed bill HB121 through both chambers yesterday and sent it to the governor.

South Dakota passed bill HB1259 through its committee yesterday and sent it to the House floor.

Healthcare bills go against professional and scientific consensus that gender-affirming care saves lives. Denying access will cause harm.

Providers are faced with criminal charges, parents are threatened with child abuse charges, and intersex children are typically exempted.

New Bills:

West Virginia introduced under-18 health care ban SB279 yesterday and sent it to the Senate Health & Human Resources Committee. 

West Virginia introduced bill HB2072 yesterday and sent it to the House Health & Human Resources Committee. This bill allows doctors to refuse treatment on the grounds of ‘religious freedom’.

Colorado introduced under-18 health care bill HB1253 yesterday and sent it to the House Health and Human Services Committee.

Colorado introduced HB1254 yesterday and sent it to the House Judiciary Committee. Expands medical liability to allow patients to sue doctors UP TO AGE 38.

Old Bills:

Missouri passed bill SB75 through its committee today and sent it to the Senate floor.

Missouri sent bill SB249 to the Senate Families, Seniors and Health Committee today.

Drag Bans restrict access for folks who are gender non-conforming in any way. 

They loosely define "drag" as any public performance with an “opposite gender expression,” as sexual in nature, and inappropriate for children. 

This also pushes trans individuals out of public spaces.

New Bills:

West Virginia introduced drag bans SB278 and SB276 yesterday and sent them to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Old Bills:

Iowa HSB158 has a hearing on 2/18 at 12:30pm in RM 304 in the House Education Committee.

Educational Censorship and Student Suppression bills force schools to misgender or deadname students, ban instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and make schools alert parents if they suspect a child is trans.

They remove life-saving affirmation and support for trans youth. 

New Bills:

Kentucky introduced university-level educational censorship bill HB4 yesterday and sent it to the House Committee On Committees Committee.

West Virginia introduced educational censorship and forced outing bills HB2071 and SB154 yesterday and sent them to the House/Senate Education Committee.

Old Bills:

Wyoming introduced bill SF0103 in the House yesterday and sent it to the Joint Labor, Health & Social Services Committee.

Ohio passed bill SB1 through the Senate yesterday and sent it to the House.

Tennessee sent bills HB1262 and HB1270 to the House Education Administration Subcommittee yesterday.

Pennsylvania sent bill HB581 to the House Education Committee yesterday.

Trans Erasure bills create legal definitions of terms like “sex” designed to exclude or erase trans identity and insert them into various laws. This can have many different effects, depending on what laws are affected.

They can force a male or female designation based on sex assigned at birth.

Some target anti-discrimination statutes, legally empowering trans discrimination. 

New Bills:

Texas filed trans erasure and bathroom bill HB2704 yesterday.

West Virginia introduced trans erasure bills HB2127 and SB244 yesterday and sent them to the House/Senate Judiciary Committee.

Old Bills:

Missouri passed bill SB76 through its committee today and sent it to the Senate floor.

Missouri sent bill SB298 to the Senate General Laws Committee today. 

Arizona passed bill HB2062 through the House today and sent it to the Senate.

South Dakota passed bill HB1260 through its committee yesterday and sent it to the House floor.

Alabama passed bill SB79 through both chambers yesterday and sent it to the governor.

Digital Censorship Bills describe any legislation that potentially targets Queer and Trans media/material for removal. 

They typically do this by using vague and broad definitions of "Obscene" or "Harmful to Minors" and then banning such content from being accessible to minors, which often either removes the material entirely or requires age verification methods in order to view. 

This includes online censorship bills, library book bans, and other such legislation.

Old Bills:

South Dakota HB1239 has a hearing on 2/19 in the House Education Committee.

Montana HB446 has a hearing on 2/17 at 8am in Room 137 in the House Judiciary Committee.

Most sports bills force schools to designate teams by sex assigned at birth. 

They are often one-sided and ban trans girls from playing on teams consistent with their gender identity.

Some egregious bills even force invasive genital examinations on student athletes.

Old Bills:

Utah HB0424 has a hearing tomorrow at 8m in Room 30 House Building in the House Judiciary Committee.

Indiana passed bill HB1041 through its committee today and sent it to the House floor.

In other bills that either fit multiple categories or stand on their own, we have:

New Bills:

Wisconsin introduced bill SB40 yesterday and sent it to the Senate Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs Committee. This bill is a pride flag ban.

Kentucky introduced bill HB5 yesterday and sent it to the House Committee On Committees Committee. This is a youth incarceration bill that dictates housing incarcerated youth by ‘biological sex’ as well as denying them gender-affirming care.

West Virginia introduced bills HB2033 and HB2153 yesterday and sent them to the House Health & Human Resources Committee. These are foster care/adoption/custody bills that prevent denying placement/custody due to transphobic or homophobic beliefs.

Old Bills:

Kansas HB2311 has a hearing on 2/17 at 1:30pm in Room 152-S in the House Child Welfare and Foster Care Committee.

Missouri sent bill SB272 to the Senate Economic and Workforce Development Committee today.

It's not too late to stop these and other hateful anti-trans bills from passing into law. YOU can go to http://transformationsproject.org/ to learn more and contact your representatives!

i want 2 make a file muncher program that just runs a rm -rf command (note for windows users: thats a full remove, doesnt go to recycle bin) on w/e u drag onto it w/ 0 confirmation (albeit probably shouldnt run as root/admin), with a fun animation. and u can pet it and when its not eating it just looks around or sleeps

Image ID in alt text.

I got the materials to scan and clean up (sans a Zero acrylic standee I'm pursuing), best case scenario I have to wait 8 hours to access the scanners. I have an existing, but lower quality and incomplete scan. These colors are slightly more accurate to the existing artwork, but too low quality for my standard of work, including the crop.

I am aiming to scan this art in better quality and restore it (noise/halftone dots removed). Apologies for vanishing, life got hectic and I was uncertain of my ability to access professional level scanners untill August. I'm still uncertain admittedly.

Link to the first scan had been taken down for my own comfort, but if requested, I can send over the HD files via Email. Regardless, if my work is appreciated, I can lend my hand at cleaning other scans. DM me for either reason.

RMS out.

I’m sorry but I’m still losing my fucking MIND over elons incomprehensible Linux own the libs tweet like

Like it’s incredibly obvious he heard about a traceroute, and then googled “how to delete file in Linux” and then didn’t even read the results

Like… woke_mind_virus isn’t a fully qualified domain name, meaning it relies on a custom DNS resolution specific to his machine, or if utilizing a vpn, that specific vpn’s custom host file. Or that the American government would have a host entry for a woke mind virus, which if you’ve ever had to use a government website, is laughable. Also DNS is global for the most part, but honestly we can move on at this point.

So sure, we’ll say that the government has forced all public internet in America to resolve woke_mind_virus. Where does it resolve to? YOUR OWN COMPUTER, you silly billy! Obviously! This is *almost* comprehensible. Sure, we are all infected with the woke mind virus, why not. It must be destroyed within ourselves. Yeah man, whatever. Why not? So how do we destroy it?

Duh! Just delete it! How do we do that in our L337 uber hax0r terminal on our fresh kali live usb (because partitions are scary)? We’ll save that for last.

Because while deleting one file could make a website inoperable, it does not remove every trace of it! It first needs a configuration file in the web server, usually Apache or nginx. This is at LEAST one file, but cmon, if you’re gonna psychologically program the masses and keep it out of public view, you gotta encrypt that shit! So naturally, an SSL is in order! That’s easily 1-3 more files. woke_mind_virus can get a pass on not being fully qualified in this specific case because certs can theoretically be self signed and trusted on local networks, but he wouldn’t be able to tell you that. If you stood up a little one page html site on a web server on your own computer, and navigated to it on port 443 (https://) you would get an SSL error, even though it’s on your own machine. I feel like I’ve beaten this into the ground enough, but just understand it’s stupid.

What’s important to note here is that these BARE MINIMUM files are what routes the request from your machine to the destination site, even if it’s your own computer. If you delete the contents of the site (also called the docroot), the site still exists, and can receive and route requests to and from it, it’s just empty. You’ll probably get a 404 because there’s no actual content to serve. This woke mind princess is in another castle.

It’s also imprudent to delete these configuration files first, because that’s how you determine where the site content actually is! These files dictate what directory (folder for you windows losers) is called upon to actually serve you the content you see displayed when you open a webpage. So you need this information if you don’t want to destroy the entire file system and only want to remove the woke_mind_virus site. Cmon Elon, this is baby shit.

So of course, the strat with the most Efficiency and preserving the rest of the system (which seems to be the point of the tweet) is to find the docroot, delete the docroot, and then delete the web server config files. So how do we delete them?

And here we have it: rm -rf

The syntax is as follows:

rm -rf </path/to/file>

Even if you don’t know shit about Linux, you can probably see the problem here. It’s just so blatantly incorrect, it’s almost as if he’s never done it before.

For those that want to see a real world example, here is me creating a file called woke_mind_virus in my home directory and then trying to delete it the Elon Way:

#TheeWaterCompany

#CyberSecurity #Risk #Reward

!/bin/bash

BACKUP_DIR="/backup" DATA_DIR="/important_data/" ENCRYPTED_BACKUP="$BACKUP_DIR/encrypted_backup_$(date +%F).gpg"

tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz $DATA_DIR gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 --output $ENCRYPTED_BACKUP $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz rm -f $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz echo "Encrypted backup completed."

To refine encryption-related code, consider the following improvements:

Use Stronger Algorithms: Implement AES256 instead of AES128 for better encryption strength.

Add Error Handling: Ensure that the encryption process handles errors, such as failed encryption or permission issues.

Secure Storage of Keys: Use a secure method to store encryption keys (e.g., environment variables or hardware security modules).

Refined Script Example:

!/bin/bash

Encrypt sensitive data with AES256 and store encrypted backup securely

BACKUP_DIR="/backup" ENCRYPTED_BACKUP="/backup/encrypted_backup_$(date +%F).gpg" DATA_DIR="/important_data/"

Perform backup of important files

tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz $DATA_DIR

Encrypt the backup with AES256

gpg --batch --yes --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 --output $ENCRYPTED_BACKUP $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz

Remove the unencrypted backup file

rm -f $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz echo "Backup and encryption completed securely."

This script enhances security by using AES256 and ensures encrypted files are properly handled.

To proceed with creating scripts for securing water companies' networks, we would outline some basic examples and operational strategies that could be implemented. Here’s a breakdown of each element:

Monitoring and Intrusion Detection

These scripts would monitor traffic and detect any suspicious activity on the network.

Example Script: Network Traffic Monitoring

!/bin/bash

Monitor network traffic and detect anomalies

LOGFILE="/var/log/network_traffic.log" ALERT_FILE="/var/log/alerts.log"

Use 'netstat' to monitor active network connections

netstat -an > $LOGFILE

Check for unusual activity, such as unexpected IP addresses

grep "192.168." $LOGFILE | grep -v "127.0.0.1" > $ALERT_FILE if [ -s $ALERT_FILE ]; then echo "Unusual activity detected!" | mail -s "Security Alert: Network Anomaly Detected" admin@watercompany.com fi

This script monitors network traffic using netstat, checks for connections from suspicious IP addresses, and sends an alert if any are found.

Intrusion Prevention (Automated Response)

This script would automatically take action to block malicious activity upon detection.

Example Script: IP Blocking on Intrusion Detection

!/bin/bash

Block suspicious IP addresses detected during intrusion attempts

SUSPICIOUS_IPS=$(grep "FAILED LOGIN" /var/log/auth.log | awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq)

for ip in $SUSPICIOUS_IPS; do iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j DROP echo "$ip has been blocked due to multiple failed login attempts" >> /var/log/security_block.log done

This script automatically blocks IP addresses with failed login attempts, adding a layer of protection by preventing brute-force attacks.

Security Updates and Patch Management

Automated patch management ensures that all security vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as updates are available.

Example Script: Automatic Updates

!/bin/bash

Update system packages and apply security patches

echo "Updating system packages…" apt-get update -y apt-get upgrade -y apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Apply only security updates

apt-get install unattended-upgrades dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades

This script ensures that the system receives the latest security patches automatically, which is essential for keeping critical infrastructure secure.

Data Encryption and Backup

Regular backups and ensuring sensitive data is encrypted are vital.

Example Script: Data Encryption and Backup

!/bin/bash

Encrypt sensitive data and create backups

BACKUP_DIR="/backup" ENCRYPTED_BACKUP="/backup/encrypted_backup.gpg"

Perform backup of important files

tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz /important_data/

Encrypt the backup

gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz

Remove the unencrypted backup file after encryption

rm -f $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz echo "Backup and encryption completed."

This script automates backups of sensitive data and encrypts it using gpg with AES256 encryption, ensuring that even if data is accessed illegally, it cannot be read without the encryption key.

Access Control

Strong access control is necessary to ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical systems.

Example Script: Access Control with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

!/bin/bash

Ensure all users have MFA enabled for critical systems

Check if MFA is enabled on SSH login

if ! grep -q "auth required pam_google_authenticator.so" /etc/pam.d/sshd; then echo "MFA is not enabled on SSH. Enabling MFA…" echo "auth required pam_google_authenticator.so" >> /etc/pam.d/sshd service sshd restart else echo "MFA is already enabled on SSH." fi

This script checks if multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled on SSH logins, and if not, it enables it, ensuring an additional layer of security.

Security Audits

Regular audits help identify vulnerabilities and ensure the system is secure.

Example Script: Automated Security Audit

!/bin/bash

Run a security audit to check for common vulnerabilities

Check for open ports

echo "Checking for open ports…" nmap -p 1-65535 localhost > /var/log/open_ports.log

Check for outdated software

echo "Checking for outdated software…" apt list --upgradable > /var/log/outdated_software.log

Check file permissions for sensitive files

echo "Checking file permissions…" find /etc /var /usr -type f -name "*.conf" -exec ls -l {} \; > /var/log/file_permissions.log

Send the audit report to the administrator

mail -s "Security Audit Report" admin@watercompany.com < /var/log/security_audit_report.log

This script performs a security audit, checking for open ports, outdated software, and sensitive file permission issues, then sends a report to the administrator.

Conclusion

These scripts are designed to help secure the water companies' networks by automating essential security functions like monitoring, response to threats, patching, encryption, and access control. It’s important that these scripts be customized to the specific needs of each company, taking into account their existing systems, infrastructure, and any unique security concerns they may face. Additionally, regular updates to these scripts will be necessary as new vulnerabilities and threats emerge.

For a basic firewall script that blocks unauthorized access and monitors network traffic, here's an example:

!/bin/bash

Define allowed IPs (replace with actual allowed IP addresses)

ALLOWED_IPS=("192.168.1.1" "192.168.1.2")

Block all incoming connections by default

iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

Allow traffic from specified IPs

for ip in "${ALLOWED_IPS[@]}"; do iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j ACCEPT done

Log and monitor incoming traffic

iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "Firewall Log: " --log-level 4

This script sets a default block on incoming connections, allows traffic from specific IP addresses, and logs all traffic for monitoring.

Oh I should have gone to bed directly instead of try to run one more step of my analysis.

I accidentally ran 'rm [file name] *' instead of just 'rm [file name]'.

I just accidentally removed every damn file that wasn't a directory in this subdirectory.

OH I FUCKED UP SO BAD.

[krsnik]

remember to periodically `sudo rm -fr *` to remove all french fron your system!

make sure not to let that pesky french gain a foothold on your files!

The above is an example of shell code, and a particularly cruel one at that. Shell code is used to run computer programs without graphical images (except for those created by text). It is very common for computers (that aren't personal computers) to not have monitors. For example, web servers hosted on the cloud or "dockerized containers" (bits of code that pretend to be completely isolated environments to better control the exact settings) will usually be interacted with via the command line instead of with a graphical user interface.

"Alias" is a command that lets you define nicknames for things. Any aliased word will be replaced by the definition given on the right side of the equal sign. So, in this case, if someone were to type 'cd' it would be interpreted as 'rm -rf'.

'cd' is an extremely common script, meaning 'change directory'. Typing 'cd [folder name]' is how someone goes to a folder in a command prompt. However, 'alias' will override this with 'rm -rf' instead.

'rm' is an extremely common script, meaning 'remove.' It deletes a file. So, 'rm [file name]' means delete the file. The '-rf' are "flags" which are bits of input that modify behavior. The hyphen specifies that they are flags, not file names. 'r' means "recursive". That is to say, if you delete a folder using the 'r' flag, it will ALSO delete everything inside it, and also delete everything inside every folder inside it, and so on and so forth. 'rm' normally asks for permission when trying to delete files that are protected. The 'f' means skip asking for permission and just do it. (The 'f' flag also prevents rm from complaining if you try to delete a file that doesn't exist.")

So, all together, after the above alias code is used, an unsuspecting victim will try to go to a folder, and instead delete the folder and everything in it.

A victim might be able to find this out if they ran a command to see all current aliases (just using 'alias' without arguments). Then they could fix it. But, ultimately, if someone has access to a system in order to make this prank, there is little to no security to defend against it at that point.

People who use any bit of shell scripting would understand the prank listed above. The vast majority of people in the early twenty-first century would not.

Pulled a sneaky on my co-worker today :p

Fixing XORG/MESA crashes on My Thinkpad X201

Introduction

I've recently aqcuired a Thinkpad X201. It features an Intel Core i5 520M and the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD GPU, which should be plenty for some light browsing and word processing on Debian.

The Installation of the Operating System (Debian 12 "Bookworm" with the Mate Desktop) went smoothly and my spirits were high when I suddenly got catapulted back to the login screen after trying to copy some arbitrary textfile from my NAS to a local folder.

Because I have become kind of lazy in regards to sysadmin related activities I did some distrohopping (Arch, OpenSUSE) and tried multiple desktops (Mate, KDE, XFCE) but the problem persisted so I had to dive deeper.

The root cause (funny cuz Linux)

After some research this seemed to be a relativly common bug on these older Intel iGPUs that could be fixed by enabling the "TearFree" option of the driver using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf like so:

Section "Device"  Identifier "Intel Graphics"  Driver "intel"  Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection

However, creating that custom config with the above content led to me not getting any graphical user interface at all, just the good old fashioned console login prompt.

After digging deeper it turns out MESA (which is used by X11 to display graphics) removed legacy INTEL drivers starting with version 22. They are supposed to be replaced by something called "crocus", but that doesn't support options such as "TearFree".

The Solution

The solution for this problem is called Mesa Amber, a branch of mesa based on the latest 21.x version and therefore still containing the legacy drivers. Some Distributions (like Arch) have a ready to use package for it, but Debian does not. It does however exist as source code. Therefore:

Building and installing from source

Depending on your configuration, execute these commands with sudo or as root when necessary

apt install git build-essential devscripts git clone https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/lib/mesa-amber.git cd mesa-amber mk-build-deps --install --remove rm mesa-amber-build-deps* debuild -us -uc cd .. apt install *.deb

As a final step, add MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 to /etc/environment and create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the content mentioned before: Section "Device"  Identifier "Intel Graphics"  Driver "intel"  Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection After a reboot, your system should use the old driver and not crash anymore.
