I JUST FATFINGERED A "rm -rf /"*.................

I `ctrl+C`ed it fairly fast and I don't see anything missing (wasn't sudo), but OMG am I dumb as bricks. I thought you had to do --no-preserve-root for that to work??

Goddamn!!

Edit: I hit it because I was going for the asterisk on the numpad, who has a `/` just one key to the left. RIP

PSA: The rm utility accepts flags AFTER the file path

For some reason, every example of `rm` I see posted on the internet puts flags first, e.g. the form `rm -r /path/to/dir`, yet the syntax `rm /path/to/dir -r` is just as valid (at least for the GNU Coreutils). I think the latter syntax should be preferred for most human users.

Putting dangerous flags such as `-r` and `-f` after the path has the following advantages:

* The flag won't be there if you slip your finger and accidentally press enter early; for example, if you want to type `rm /path/to/dir -r` but accidentally press enter after typing `rm /path/to`, the `-r` flag will not be present, preventing destructive damage;
* You get a chance to double-check the path you entered. If you type `rm -r /path/to/dir` you may be instinctively tempted to press the enter key as soon as you type the last character, whereas if you aim for `rm /path/to/dir -r`, you can take a calm moment to make sure the path you entered is correct before adding the destructive `-r` flag.

This post has been inspired by the recent [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/c6c5sy/i_just_fatfingered_a_rm_rf/) where somebody messed up their `rm` command once again. This isn't the first post of its kind, and the comments show that the OP is far from the only one who makes an `rm` mistake in their lifetime.

I personally think it should be considered a good practice to always put destructive flags like `-r` and `-f` last, and have gotten into this habit myself. I think it is kind of a pity that every example `rm` command people post online puts them first, which gives many the impression that the flags have to come first.

Hostapd performance factors for wifi access point

What was the highest bandwidth you coud achieve with hostapd on a wlan usb3 stick or integrated wifi (dual channel 5Ghz/2.4Ghz).

Are the performance factors here only the USB 3 bandwidth (which should be more than enough) and the routing done by the cpu?

​

I am trying to setup a home router on an atom Z8350 mini pc (ACEPC T8) with gigabit ethernet connected to my gigabit internet modem where the internet connection is shared by a hotspot setup using hostapd on the integrated wifi chip. I am currently seeing around 60 Mbits with Iperf3, I would be satisfied with 200 Mbits. Is there any other factors I should consider apart possible interference on used channels from neighboring wifis (I live in an apartment, I can see more than 10 SSIDs always) ?

Can you recomment a usb wifi adapter as I am trying to create multiple wlan access pointS?

Setup RH 6 to relay smtp?

I need some starter guidance here. I’m in corporate end which blocks SMTP that doesn’t come from the data centers.

I have a Linux box in the data center but I want to send email from my desktop. It seems like I should be able to set up my Linux box to receive SMTP and forward it out.

Any guidance on that? I already have dovecot running but i don’t see an open 25 port in netstat.
