  • The main thing is just make sure you know what the command is going to do before you run it. There are no specific commands that are dangerous, there are many ways to make a dangerous command. For example, if you see rm, that’s the remove command. It deletes files permanently. Once rm removes a file, there’s no trash you can retrieve it from, it’s gone forever, so make sure it isn’t deleting anything important. Some important things are / and ~. If you see a command removing / like the one Sleepless One mentioned, that’s removing all the files on your system. / is the root directory, it’s the place where everything on your computer is stored. ~ is your home directory. It’s where things like your documents, pictures, etc. are stored. So, if someone gives you sudo rm -r ~ or something, do not run that. If it’s something like ~/.config/somefile, that’s fine because it’s deleting a specific file inside your home directory rather than the whole thing.





  • In my opinion, it’s too difficult to acquire chemicals for legitimate purposes. People will still need them, and those who do will still get them. These people are often forced to perform dangerous or simply wasteful procedures to synthesize or distill them instead, which isn’t necessary.

    I think a better solution to this problem could be public lab facilities. Essentially, the government (obviously no bourgeois government is going to do this) could have some public labs, where people can order chemicals and use them for whatever they need, and they can get supervision and advice from chemists. This way, the supervising chemists will obviously be able to tell if you’re making drugs or explosives or something, or if you’re not protecting yourself properly, but you can still acquire and use the chemicals you need. Also, that will stop people from storing all of these chemicals in their houses, potentially leading to deadly consequences.
