    i just deleted a month of notes by doing:

    find $(pwd) “*.tmp” -delete

    instead of:

    find $(pwd) -iname “*.tmp” -delete

    turns out the former throws an error on “*.tmp” but still deletes everything lol… PSA for everyone

        i changed it so that ppl on lemmy who may not be familiar with the syntax of find could read it easier? maybe it made it more confusing

      I think it’s your fault if you don’t have backups… but I legitimately think that we should restrict usage of classic Unix tools to scripts, and use safer tools ourselves… but I guess that’s just my opinion.

        yeah i didnt want to script removing the tmp files bc theyre sometimes useful… usually i do read;find -delete; as like a “confirm” for me…

        also, i do backup, but i guess only once a month… i was in the middle of a backup, the commands were: git add --all; git commit; find -delete; git push; and then confusion when i saw the .git folder was gone

        ive been doing this for over a decade and this is the second (third?) time something like this has happened.

        anyway, not trying to defend myself, maybe i should script the find and delete thing… but i just wanna hopefully prevent someone else’s data deletion.
