It's a Unix system! Elon knows this!

woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!
- Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?
  
  No see, he's saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It's 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s
- Somehow he managed to add a new hostname to /etc/hosts, but then tries to undo it by rm'ing the hostname?
- The woke mind virus deleted the ability to remove things in the console?
- To be fair to Musk (🤢), he would need to significantly dumb down proper Linux commands for his target audience. So it's possible he wrote some pseudo command lines and sprinkled in the most known tech references that even his audience will sort of recognize.
  
  Or, as is most likely, he is in fact, a big fat poser with everything. Shit like this is like the "code" I used to pretend write on loose leaf paper in elementary school that was just computery-sounding gibberish.

Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer
- @theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .
  
  My sister's name is Amanda, not Admin!
  
  Not if you're a Bash programmer ·υ·
  
  He is still bad at it

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.
- I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet
  
  maybe we need a dunk comm thats just for elon, quarantine it lol
  
  There’s always a Trump quote, there’s always a Musk Tweet….I suppose.
- Please.
  If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.
  If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.
  I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.
  Thanks.
- Well, maybe not a moratorium, but I certainly would appreciate some peace and quiet.
- Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory
- I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?
  
  Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.
No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.
That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.
- Now I want to see:
  a genius'es concept of an idiot
  an idiot's concept of an idiot
  a genius'es concept of a genius
  
  most of the cast of Arrested Development
  the movie: Idiocracy
  lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman
  
  A genius wouldn’t post something this pointless and idiotic in the first place. If they felt inclined to, they would likely not think it worth the time.

He tries so hard to sound intelligent...
- He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.
  But he isn't...

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root
The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.
- Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.
  
  It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.
  Actually I'd worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I'm willing to take.

So he isn't even a techy, the whole thing has been an act
- after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like
  first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it
  then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it
  now he's talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he's saying some of the most batshit insane things i've ever heard, so i'm starting to reevaluate my earlier choices...

His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.
- That's just inverse South African notation.
  
  Emerald off the rails

Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T
Remember this blast from the past?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmv8quf_xM
- Lmao i was gonna say elon's the type of guy to say tracer t
  
  So, uh, as someone who's only ever read it and not heard it... how do you say it?
- Tracer Tong?

This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice
- I think that kid made the youtube channel "Engineering Made Easy"
  It's a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of "Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR"
- Lmao, so accurate.

This is like someone who doesn’t speak English, finds a dictionary, and then puts random words together hoping to sound like they speak English.
He is such a fucking moron.

He saying he used to be woke?
- Nah he cosplayed as a goth once when he was a teenager. Other than that, he has always been a failed nerd.
  Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes
- I mean, there was a period about 15 years ago when he seemed to be the only rich person actually talking about climate change, doing something that might make some difference (investing in an electric vehicle startup, and later a rooftop solar startup) and seemed to actually be concerned about it. I now question if that was just an act or not.
  On the other hand there is the theory that he fell down the right wing social media pipeline during the pandemic and that's why he's seemed to have such a sudden shift on political party affiliation. I like that theory because I think it's kinda funny to imagine one of the richest men in the world being too cooped up and spending too long doomscrolling to the point that he became radicalized by social media algorithms
- "Woke" is really similar to the boogyman for them. So maybe he is admitting that and that he is infected by the wrong belief in the boogyman.

He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.
Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.
Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this
The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.
127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.
rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.
The commands, when put together, would look something like this:
traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)
The virus has been located at localhost (internally)
rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus
Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.
In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.
Tell me I'm crazy.
- It's such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:
  He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.
- Didn't the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?
  Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.
  `
  
  ❯ which rm /usr/bin/rm `
  Ah, no, apparently it isn't.

If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

the woke was coming from inside the house!

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

ketamine is one hell of a drug

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won't have to read his takes.
Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case...

rm -rf * woke

All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.

Scanning 104.244.42.129 for fascist_bullshit
fascist_bullshit found!
Adding host to block list.
- gameindustry.eu/ good site for tracker blocking etc in games

Jokes on him. I'm a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there's nothing he can do about it.
- Nuh uh he’s gonna write a gui using Visual Basic to hack your IP address

I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.
- Come on man no need to throw slurs around even if you're quoting someone else
  
  That's a medical diagnosis and a slur and also fitting. It's hard to treat the retarded man child unless we first accept that he is one.

This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he's saying he at some point had the 'woke mind virus' and deleted it, or more likely he's saying this is what people need to do to 'free' themselves of the 'woke mind virus'.
You don't have to endorse it to understand it. I don't really understand Hazel's confusion.
- The confusion is an affectation they're putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.
  I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root, so he lobotomized himself.
  
  I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root
  I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.
- The woke mind virus is coming from INSIDE the house

So saying he woke woke?
- Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke

He is just person born in rich family that used social media to create image of some kind of engineering genius, when his actual "skill" was to have money, push engineers to work hard and knowing how to get money from the government.

rm -rf 69 420 le epic bacon 😂😂😂
- let that = sink("in")

Also known for such bangers as "how do I run this python script?"
- I also liked it when he complained about micro services and killed the login system of twitter.

Goddamnit that motherfucker is cringe. And stupid...

The woke mind virus is coming from inside the Musk!

He's saying what everyone else already knows. He's infected and diseased

"The surge of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life taught me an even more valuable lesson: where woke_mind_virus lives in my brain. [Announcer: "woke_mind_virus deleted."] Goodbye, woke_mind_virus."

pretty sure he is saying the woke mind people found themselves and deleted themselves, that quote retweet makes no sense to me

Does each provider have their own? Most of the ones I’ve had your local network was 192.168.0.1, but my recent one is 10.0.0.1.
It’s all just modem access I’m guessing in the end and they can choose mostly what they want?
- @SchmidtGenetics @HiddenLayer555 No. 127.0.0.x will always be localhost / local machine in any network. What you're referring to 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x are normalized local network addressing, 192.168 widely used by ISP on their router for home client and 10 being used by companies IT.
  
  127.0.0.x
  It's actually a /8. 127.x.x.x
  
  Ah on my end, both are the same companies IP provider and they are different modem manufacturers. Both were used to log into the modem to change settings.
- No, 127.0.0.1 is the loop back, so it doesn't even leave the machine and doesn't need to be connected to any network.
- 127.0.0.1 is a special IP address that loops back to the device itself.
  For local area networks there are 3 groups of private IPv4 address spaces
  192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
  Basically you can use any address range in any of those 3 ranges, ones in the 192.168.x.y block have been pretty common for home routers for a while.
  Normally you can change the address ranges set in the router if there's a particular range you want to use.
- Loopback Addresses, Always your computer
  127.x.x.x
  Private IP Addresses, Computers on your local network
  10.x.x.x
  172.16.0.0 -172.31.255.255
  192.168.x.x
  169.254.x.x (link local, used if your network has no DHCP server)
  Multicast, Addresses multiple computers on your local network
  224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255
  Broadcast, Addresses all computers on your local network
  255.255.255.255
  CGNAT Addresses, Computers on your same ISP/carrier
  100.64.0.0 - 100.127.255.255
  (Only applicable if your ISP/carrier uses CGNAT)
  Public Internet Addresses
  Most other IP addresses
  Which block of private IPs your local network uses depends on how your router/DHCP server is configured. If you're using the standard router your ISP provided then whatever default settings on that will determine your local subnet.
- Those are non-routed IP blocks. 127.0.0.1 is the machine you’re on, the localhost.
