You mean to say a cloth with inside white and outside black?

Shouldn't it be black inside and white outside?

TIL that the ultimate doom command to destroy nix is sudo rm -rvf --no-preserve-root / and it actually works.
Near about 37 files are left from this doom command which mostly are files which are still running (that is in /proc).

Spoiler

To document this destruction you can use:

sudo rm -rvf --no-preserve-root / | ssh username@server "cat > Log.log"

TIL that pissing Linux off by doing rm -rvf wasn't a cool idea. As it turned out, Linux rm -rf my whole HDD in return, while I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 (due to a bug). 14.04.2 is good though.

TIalsoL that recovery is a painful and time consuming process. But worth it if you get back your data intact.
