[Humour] Notes to Self

When the /var partition runs low on space, because your logfiles are
becoming inordinately huge due to the module usb-storage, it is unwise to
do 'rm /var/* -rf' as root.





Backstory: I thought I was doing 'rm /var/log/* -rf', but it was late and
I was tired. Now I'm paying for it, and I can't help but think it's
partly to blame for my troubles with apt-get installing packages now.
