I wouldn't be willing to use this program in any case, but yeah as the comment you responded to said - don't give it root.
- isp 4y ago"rm -rf ~" doesn't require root, and would do significant harm. Neat tech demo to run on a sandboxed VM, but I would strongly recommend against running this on a box you care about.
- cwillu 4y agoIndeed, nearly all of the harm that rm -rf / would do to me, is due to / including ~
- corobo 4y agoWhen you're right you're right. I got nothing in retort - I missed the forest for the trees there. Good point, well made.
- rvz 4y agoYeah, I bet than no-one would trust this thing to simply: 'Cleanup the home directory' and it just goes and does 'rm -rf ~/' silently. I don't see the use-case in something that have a very low trustworthiness and is in fact a solution looking for a problem but creates more problems than it solves.
- notpachet 4y ago> I don't see the use-case in something that have a very low trustworthiness and is in fact a solution looking for a problem but creates more problems than it solves. You just described the majority of tech projects.
- oefrha 4y agoAbout everything on my system that’s root:wheel is reproducible. It’s the ones not owned by root that I care about.
- usrbinbash 4y ago`rm -rf` can cause more than enough damage without touching anything that requires root permissions to delete
