Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I'd try
mysterytool -H
-H for Hard drive to delete, -h is help
-H is for Hforce
-h
is halt.Which assumes you also wanted to catch fire because you didn't set
--halt-without-catching-fire
Do developers get hard-ons for using nonstandard flags?
Use
-h, --help
. None of this "no hyphen" bullshit or using the plus sign or a different flag like--info
It makes sense in context. Whaddya gonna do?
-H
is for "hell no just uninstall"Look, if they can't stick to established convention and they're not gnu (and thus magically excusably arrogant as fuck because #stallman), then you just know they'll be somehow dragging in remote libraries or something equally as fuckwitted; so just remove it and live your life.
