minus-squareLeninOnAPrayer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-224 天前alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user. myrm() { trash-put "$@" } alias rm="myrm" This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png” Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin. The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.

minus-squareLeninOnAPrayer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·23 天前Exactly. Ctrl+C and hope ls isn’t completely empty.
minus-square_____@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·24 天前I’ve never ran into any issues from using rm but I like this idea and will be using it as I only see positives
minus-squareLeninOnAPrayer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·24 天前Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc. Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)

minus-squareMensh123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·24 天前Did you actually run it? In this case, I hope you had a backup. Boot a live system to see if there’s anything left. Back that up, then reinstall.
