FYI, there is a bug in systemd. So, running: "systemd-tmpfiles --purge" will delete your /home/ in systemd version 256. #linux

•@uint8_t @aaronk6 this is like the Mr. Robot-inspired version of the Fight Club quote "On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
Which, if you've watched far enough into the show, makes some sense.

•This is why a tried and true classic Unix init system works. Fewer binaries, typically no need to wait for a binary patch, sys.admins can edit rc files to fix (break) at will.

•This link alone shows what a crapshow SystemD is.
UNIX philosophy which Linux had inherited would do one thing with a binary, and do that well.
Here, command has been morphed beyond its name by the developers and definitely beyond recognition, and it's our fault thinking otherwise.

•i wonder what "run0 systemd-tmpfiles --purge" does...remove root's home? double the delicious bloat-fun!!
anyway, kids will be posting this "feature" command on reddit as a remedy for any systemd issue and folks will be blindly copy pasting it...i can see it now.
lulz.

•A bug in systemd? Interesting.
Is something that is clearly stated in the manual page really a bug? Or do we only consider it a bug because it is in systemd?

I won't tolerate this kind of argumentation in my timeline.
--purge is a new option, it was not there before. It is not a breaking change, and if there is a new option, either read the documentation, or learn from your mistakes.
In any case, don't blame your lack of responsibility on others.

•My /home isn't "temp files", mate. A footgun this size needs more explicit mention.

•@dpflug @nik @allpoints gotta agree with this person. It's pretty clear that purging temporary files was the intent, and that /home is not considered temporary.
What would be the point of this command if this was intended behavior? To me, it reads like "this command mostly gets rid of things designated as temporary, but it also deletes a folder that you definitely wanted to keep."
