I think we may need to implement a 128 bit unix timestamp before that will work.

Many people have given great suggestions for the most destroying commands, but most result in an immediately borked system. While inconvenient, that doesn’t have a lasting impact on users who have backups.
I propose writing a bash script set up to run daily in cron, which picks a random file in the user’s home directory tree and randomizes just a few bytes of data in the file. The script doesn’t immediately damage the basic OS functionality, and the data degradation is so slow that by the time the user realizes something fishy is going on a lot of their documents, media, and hopefully a few months worth of backups will have been corrupted.
If you want to run some less low-level code to explore the kinds of sounds that code like this can create, I wrote a python applet that lets you explore random and custom functions interactively. It comes with several presets for interesting functions I’ve discovered on various websites.
r/buyitforlife is a treasure
5+ sets are also possible and can get very intricate.
A silent, energy-free cooling solution that works for hours at a time? Sounds like it’s perfect for military operations. Imagine the Boston Dynamics robots, but without the whirr of cooling fans.
Thanks for posting this! I’ve often struggled with ACPI and Linux in the past and this sheds a little light on why that is.
Bold choice to have your arrow keys all in a row. Did you consider VIM arrow order when choosing a layout?
My personal favorite is the spider costume for dogs.
I hate that I don’t know for sure that the person did this to prove that it could be done.
This looks like the beginning of a Cyriak animation.
Drive at 100 mph with the windows up. There is no 100mph wind.
Stick some Disney eyes on it and you’ve got a new mascott.
Imagine if one of these crawled in your ear while you sleep!
XFCE Debian is my perfect OS. Just does what I need and that’s all. Why look anywhere else?
I always knew (*) as the cat/dog butthole.
Fascinating stuff! Some of these shapes, like the coils of numbers, remind me of things I’ve seen in my dreams before.
That sounds like almost every Mythbusters episode ever.
I got a b/w Brother laser and have been using it with Windows, Linux and Android devices with no issues. It has lasted me through 6 years of university and I’ve only replaced the toner once. Probably the best technology investment I’ve ever made.
