The Unclear Impact

so i just issued the command rm -rf ~ instead of rm -rf '~'

good thing i have btrfs snapshots

@kristof Ah yes btrfs snapshots, the things I've said I'd setup

@robby i accidentally rsynced something to my server into the directory named '~' instead of into my home directory, and i tried to get rid of it

(a very poor man’s deployment solution when i work on the app at https://refinery.services – rsync the jar into my home directory, then sudo mv into /var/lib where it should live and restart the corresponding systemd service. the funny thing is that this project is sponsored by amazon science, but we have our AWS guy on vacation, and debugging research software on my own VPS is much easier)
