I own you!


While I’m still knee-deep in setting up my new laptop via Linux From Scratch, let me take a breather to share something I learned which you may or may not already know:

This might scare you.

Say you have a directory that you know you own (sandbox).

Say you try to ls (or cd or otherwise interact) with the directory, but you get one of two things:

  1. “permission denied”, or
  2. a bunch of question marks

Say you didn’t realize what you had removed from the directory file by accident.

You might be pooping too … until you saw your mistake.

    Yeah, this happens to me way too often.
