2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Wait, if my brain runs and uses Linux thenβ¦
Oh godβ¦
ADHD is a zombie LLM process constantly spitting out vaguely related nonsense, draining your energy and processor cycles for nothing productive.
It all makes sense now.
Nah, it's nothing that complicated, it's just a bash script
while [ 0 -eq 0 ]
do
wall | head -c 16 /dev/random
sleep 1
done
shouldn't it be head -c 16 /dev/random | wall
yep that works a lot better. Mine did spit out a wall message, but only after the script hangs and has to be ctrl-D'ed. I figured I had tested enough for the internet joke and I shipped it to prod.

What always triggers feelings of cosmic horror is the question: "Whom is this reported to?"
Here's the corresponding A log file
I donβt why but βThis incident will be reportedβ scares the shit out of me for some reason.π
And it will go down in your permanent record!
who are you reporting to? WHO ARE YOU REPORTING TO?!?

Meditation is essentially a software patch that reduces the brain's tendency to DDoS itself.
what I need is brain docker, where I could just spin down entire sets of functionality
This is my reflection on my own experience with meditation, I have no other expertise on the subject.
It's not not that. It doesn't completely prevent processes from starting up randomly, but it does make it easier and faster to shut them down gracefully. It's also helpful for understanding and adjusting system calls that keep restarting processes I no longer need running all the time.
Started terminal-lly. Stuck now and got lots of VIM all night. Supposed to do something with colon. Directions unclear now just a q.
