I'm not very good at bash at all. I was hoping someone would explain what he's trying to say to me.
I feel that "found at" wouldn't be a terminal printout followed by the home reference, but he's saying the woke mond virus is on the device?
Is he saying it's a program that "deleted" the ability to "rm -rf"? Why would removing files (recursively and forced) be something it would do? Why would the options -rf be there? Wouldn't it be enough to delete the rm binary?
Traceroute woke mind virus, is woke mind virus an IP address or something? I thought it was a program based on the above lines. He's expecting to find the route to the woke mind virus IP address with this command?
What is Elon saying?
βHow do you do, fellow Linux users?β
Traceroute traces packets by IP address so he's "finding" the IP of the virus and then deleting that location which makes no sense because you can't really delete an IP address.
AND heβs trying to delete localhost which isβ¦ extra dumb.
I mean if he could delete his wormy brain id be a-ok with that.
Looks like he ran a trace route for a little over 3 years and it found that the 'woke mind virus' was coming from inside the host! He then deleted the file/DNS..? Last part is unclear given the context.
Ah thank you, seems like he knows as much bash as me!
He's saying he found the virus in himself and overcame it. It's a call for introspection. Then he's trying to trace it back to it's origins.
"I woke up and fixed myself! Now, where did these dastardly ideas come from?"
Probably thought it was profound on a drug trip of some sort. "Hey man! What if we could get all the nerds on our side? I'll show them I'm cool too!"
Y'all are way over analyzing this shit.
I think youβre overthinking it, also the tweets are in the wrong order chronologically in your story. The smaller tweet happened first
Fine. He found it in himself and deleted it. My comment still stands.
