NP. That was just a very good way of explaining the pic/structure. I appreciated it.

Imagine a folder within a folder within a folder (folders are also called directories).
So: voat > sub verseres > animals > felines > cats
You are within the cats folder (sub).
The CD .. means to go back 1 directory to felines.
Change Directory + 2 periods is shorthand for going back 1 that you came from:
If your are in felines you could:
cd /cats (to go one folder in)
So this girl was just going back one directory her whole screen.
Almost perfect ;) but you have a typo. .
You cannot "cd /cats" if you are in "felines".
You are mixing up a absolute path and a relative path.
Absolute would have the entire path in the filesystem, relative is relative to the location you are currently in.
As such, you would want "cd cats/" or "cd cats".
An absolute path would (with your given example) be. "cd /voat/sub\ verseres/animals/felines/cats". Note that the \ by "sub" is because the path contains a space. The \ is to "escape" the space for the path.
Otherwise, you are spot on and that is a great explanation +1 to you sir.

Yes, yes it would be. That is why I was so baffled. It was grant supported and student designed so I almost understood the choices.. But still. I had some pretty basic questions about the system layout/design and they couldn't answer them. "That guy isn't here this year".
Plus. Really? Launching MySQL into orbit is just asking for pain.

I met a group of people that had been working on a micro-sat. It was running ubuntu and they were using MySQL for data storage.... I was wondering why the hell they thought it was a good idea to put either of those in orbit and they didn't have a good response.
Unfortunately, the rocket exploded on the pad.
Not even joking. I can probably dig up the sources if anyone is really interested. (This was a few years ago).

Do not fuck with your sysadmin. They can make your life suck in ways you have never imagined.

I just ordered the book from no starch press. They are a great company, check them out if you are looking for interesting books.
Comment on: Linux and Open Source Propaganda in "Mr. Robot" TV Show
Agreed, the title is dumb and designed to be clickbait. Hell, most of the article consists of nothing but screenshots.
Correct, however that was not what the example or explanation showed.
