Short answer: Nothing
Long answer: It is part of a command that deletes everything. The only thing missing is the argument specifying what to delete. Examples:
rm -rf * rm rf /some/directory
It’s somewhat (in)famous because it’ll do so without asking for confirmation. The only exception is
rm -rf /on a modern distro which will complain that you’re attempting to delete EVERYTHING on the system. In the olden days it’d just do it, but these days it tells you to add–no-preserve-rootas well if you really wish to do so. - Comment on I'm gonna ask the simplest complex question ever.

- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 week ago:
I haven’t got a fucking clue. I always hated normal jobs, but I do enjoy having both food and shelter (how decadent of me, I know), so I did what I could to scrape by. And what I “could” usually translated to “could find”.
Then my proper career started in 2008, and it was an offshore rotation. Give weeks offshore in various corners of the world, followed by five weeks at home. It paid well, and I got to see the world.
Then came 2011: The company wasn’t doing too well, and I had contracted a family. I wanted to spend more time at home, and while I wasn’t completely prepared to change careers just yet, I was mentally toying with the idea.
In spring 2012 I decided it was time to find a “normal” job, so I could spend more time with my family. M through F, 0800-1600, mostly at a technical workshop, sometimes at clients’ places, and once in a blue moon at an office.
It. Was. Miserable. But having a normal job was what I was supposed to do, right? Well, the money wasn’t bad per se, but it was nowhere near what I used to earn. Plus, when I got home from work I was so exhausted I rarely had energy left over. The family life I was aiming for was severely limited by my stamina.
In 2019 I concluded that nor.al jobs are for normal people, so I reached out to some old colleagues of mine, and suddenly I found myself in a job interview. Got back offshore, and never regretted my change of heart.
It’s worth noting that I don’t really go offshore any.ore, as I have since ended up in a supporting role, where 90% of my job is done via email or VPN, from home, saving up energy for when my kids (now plural) get home.

If I’d seen your username, given no context, you would’ve been vaguely familiar.
But since I track votes I give to users, I can add that you’re at +35, so you must’ve done something right.
- Comment on In Theory if celebs remember all their training for different films. Then would it be to say if you picked a fight with Keanu could he wipe the floor with you since he is both Neo and John Wick? 2 weeks ago:
Keanu could probably kick my ass without drawing on the training from those two characters. But if I was maybe 10 years younger I might stand a chance.
If he added John Wick, no. I would need to be even younger than that, and even then my chances would be slim at best.
And if he were to add Neo, well, that depends whether he truly believes, or not.

- Comment on I'm 600 elo on chess dot com, what should I do to improve now? 2 weeks ago:
600-700 is around when the basic beginner traps stop working. Fried liver attack, etc.
Reading theory is helpful, but I’d say that’s more important at 1000+ ELO. For now, I’d say learning the basics of evaluating any position (king safety, long diagonals, weak squares, etc). Also, knowing many openers is good and all, but I suggest picking one and get really good at that. “I fear not the man who has practiced a million openers once” -Bruce Dickinson, or something.
My personal choice for openers are Kings Indian attack (as white) or Pirc Defense (as black). These are very similar, so if you know those two well, it doesn’t really matter what color you start as - they tend to end up with similar mid-games.
Also, around 700 it becomes important to spot which tactics are available to you in various positions. The puzzles at chess.com are really helpful for learning this.
As for the lichess argument, yes, it’s good. But I find that the analysis engine on chess.com is slightly better. And on that note, if you have a subscription, analyze your games afterwards, as it helps you understand what went wrong or right (yes, don’t just analyze your victories). Also, keep in mind that chess.com and lichess have different ways of calculating ELOs.

- Comment on ECO 101 years ago, our teacher said while the markets were volatile that you cannot increase something i.e interest rates without feeling a neg somewhere else.? Is this true in today's market? 2 weeks ago:
While true, it’s important to keep in mind that the market can stay unrealistic longer than the ones betting against it can stay solvent. I don’t mean that as a prediction, but as a warning that “crashing any day now” can easily mean in ten days, ten years, or never.

I always keep mine back, except during meals and when it’s not allowed. It’s better for my back this way.
Some basic etiquette: Recline carefully - there are people with stuff behind you.
- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on where I am and what I’m doing. When on work travel, I VPN home. When I’m home I VPN to work. Outside of that, I don’t really use VPNs.

Sure, nothing wrong with running your own DNS. And quite useful in many cases. It is, however, more headache than it’s worth in many other cases.

Played it some with my kids, and yes, it cheesy as hell.
But what it does right is that the action aspect is well paced in that you don’t have to wait forever until everyone else finishes; if you’re after quick and easy action, it’ll serve you well. It reminds me of CoD:Modern Warfare 2 in this regard.
- Comment on Why do people hate the Kardashians? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s much genuine hate other than annoyance at the fact that they’re famous because they’re famous, and for that they seem to be inserted everywhere in popular culture by the corporate overlords. I for one can’t think of a single reason why I should like them. Yet I know their names somehow.
I’m tempted to claim that I don’t give a shit, but their marketing strategy seems to work, seeing as I’m writing this.
