$ diff /tmp/list.txt ~/Desktop/list.txt
$ rm !!;1
rm: cannot remove `diff': No such file or directory
bash: 1: command not found
The semi-colon should’ve been a colon, which selects just word 1 from the previous line. Instead, I deleted everything. Of course that’s what I intended to do, you piece of crap.
I usually use trash-cli and don’t bother deleting most files in /tmp
. duplicity helped me get my files back, thankfully.
While on this: freedesktop.org’s trash specification leaves a few things to be desired:
- Consistent support for trashing on mounts besides the one containing your home directory.
- Automatic erasing of old files on space depletion.
