The other day at work I was doing something and accidentally made a folder named tilde.
ls
~ bin lib spec
Oops, well I guess I should remove that.
$ rm -r ~
rm: remove write-protected regular file .ssh/config?
Wait… what?! Oh crap, did that just delete my home directory?
$ ls ~

Lucky I have rdiff-backup run weekly. I changed that to daily.
Note to self, run rm -r ./~ next time.
Man what a day.

This made me laugh so hard, and also reminisce about the time I accedentaly created a
/file 🤣....so today I was finally convinced to make backups
Man, this is so true... I almost felt my self running the commands as a sort of deja vu.
