Show HN: A CLI tool that enables you to remove files easily and safely
There's a Freedesktop specification for trashing files that you may consider adhering to: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/trash-spec/trashspec-...
I get that writing a small utility is fun, but if it is just that (for fun), I suggest you put that into the readme. Otherwise, why should I choose your tool over something like https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli, which seems to already be distributed for the major distros? Does your implementation scratch an itch that the myriad of other implementations don't? I'm just curious.

"Never delete data"
Hard deleting was more necessary on the past when storage was so tiny and expensive, but now we not constantly fighting for space anymore. So treat a rm (and the Unix tradition as a whole) as a product of its time, move undesirable files to the trash instead, you can use this trash-cli for linux.

Always have a backup of you Docker container's data
Not related to Docker, but use the trash-cli trash command to have the recycle bin in the terminal as well.

what is you recommended way to protect accidental delete woth rm -rf in opensuse
i ended up using shell-safe-rm plus trash-cli and my own wrapper script around rm that verifies some rules like for example the argument don't start with '/' , if i want to delete for example /home/shin/.local/somefile then the script will not let me and suggest to cd to /home/me/.local and delete from there , same if i do rm /var/somedir.

They're probably talking about something like this rather than a GUI file manager

What has been your most painful Linux experience?
It's a bad idea to alias rm. You will get trouble on a machine that has no alias. Use trash-cli instead. It's much safer than rm. BTW, don't alias trash as rm because they are different.

The fastest rm command and one of the fastest cp commands
For Linux there's [trash-cli](https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/). Doesn't seem to work for MacOS per this issue (https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/issues/284), but it suggests to use https://hasseg.org/trash/

I did it boys: I blew away ~
Use trash-cli for all your rm -rf needs!

never "rm -rf" the wrong thing again with this handy script
There are a number of foss tools that work with the freedesktop trashcan concept on Linuxes/BSDs, like https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli. Bunch of desktop envs' programs also use this, so it's nearer to OS-wide standardized behavior.

I am an enthusiast of Linux. But... here is where it sucks
Afraid of power: Some commands can be destructive. But also some apps can be too. I was using RabbitVCS which is an SVN client and I accidentally let my co-worker destroy his workspace without an option to recover. You can see the issue here. After this problem, I started reading scripts that I am running all the time. It is pretty time-consuming. Even if you don't run things with `sudo` it can be pretty bad.

F!ck I just did a “‘rm -rf *” in my home directory 🥹💔
Never run rm with -r, I would say, but you learned the lesson. Check some backup methods and here is another lesson; be very careful with rsync --delete. Also check this one a friend of mine lost his all data with this one.
