+# Transferring 
+
+I'm going to [SCaLEx23](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x). I don't tend to use my laptop as a primary device so I was transferring *everything*.   
+  
+I literally can't live without my aliases and shortcuts so in my rush I somehow moved a copy of my `.bashrc` into `~/.bashrc.d`. Which doesn't sound like a big deal except I have this in my main file.  
+  
+  ```bash    
+  if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
+  for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do
+    if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
+      . "$rc"
+    fi
+  done
+  fi 
+  ```
+  
+ Why load everything in? Because I'm lazy.   
+   
+ I find out on next login that I'm stuck in a login-loop. Getting in through TTY3 check the thousands of SDDM error crashing messages in `journalctl` and remove the rogue file. 
+  
+ # The Fix
+   
+I've since moved everything to only loop over items ending in `.sh` to avoid this unwanted files being sourced.
