    I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

    I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

    for
        ffmpeg file finishedFile;
        rm file;
    

    my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.
