I thought - - no-preserve root also needed to be added as an argument for self destruct to completely work.

Yes, though you could also do rm -rf /* afaik to not need --no-preserve-root

Edit: I just realized that the * is already in the meme. So this should already work as is. Alternatively you could always use the good old way of "act now and remove all French roots of your system: rm -fr / --no-preserve-root"

i dont get why you can't just do sudo rm -fr /

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

because it won't let you do that:

elvith@testvm:~$ sudo rm -fr /

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'

rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
