I was trying to update some of my software, but instead of sudo apt-get upgrade I accidentally typed sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

How can I get all my stuff back? And hurry--that 3.2 TB of lolicon porn isn't gonna recover itself!

    I can help you get your data back ;) You just have to go to fbi.gov, and leave your home adress there so my friends know where to send your stuff ;) It's pretty epic, almost epic for the win :D

    run sudo undelete --find-anime-porn --try-harder overnight and hope for the best

    it may just give you a hard drive full of Rorschach prints, no one knows for sure

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

    I did accidentally do "rm -rf /lib" on a Linux box back in the day.

    Fortunately I noticed and recovered before rebooting it.
