but the UNIX philosophy is to simplify, simplify, simplify,and pretty 
much follow that principle and it works wonders :)

what about simplifying the usability & build in fail safes?

so everyone here says it is intended behavior that find -delete -name 
"*searchforthis*" just deletes everything under the current dir .

ok, guess there will have to be a find2 then

try it out as root in / and have phun restoring!

this intended behaviour by find forces users to transition from ext4 to zfs or btrfs and will still cost 3 years of sorting 1 million photorec restored jpg (without the filenames) by hand (until an AI comes up and does the job)

so cu in 2025
