Just so we’re clear, this is the endgame of all of the propaganda against trans people. Many are culpable in this.

I set up 2FA via a hardware security key (a yubikey) for login, sudo etc. I then tried to switch security keys, removing the old pam files and adding a new one. But I didn’t tidy the pam files up before logging in, and there was effectively no way to log in, since editing the pam files required sudo access to edit in the first place. So basically the whole system required access to a pluggable authentication module that it no longer had any ability to recognize. It was honestly pretty funny. I did manage to recover my data by booting from a live system and decrypting my drive from there.

I’ve also accidentally removed my desktop environment twice while trying to update Python versions and then cleaning up old packages, but that’s kinda not that big deal and is just a facepalm moment.
