Suicide Linux

[radtechtips]

This is a cool program that I think would be fun to mess around with in a virtual box, or maybe to install on your friends old/backup/screw-with-machine.

I think that we should make a challenge and see who can complete it.

I'm sorry but that is just one giant waste of time. There is literally no practical use for that and any attempted joke use of it earns you a swift kick in the nuts from the owner of the computer you hosed.

It would be way more entertaining if it launched some kind of devilish interface, like a color ASCII flaming skull... complete with a "you just made a typo, now you're fucked!" error message

It's kinda boring looking right now. Besides, any Linux user with half a brain would Ctrl-C that thing once they saw the first rm warning.

Haha that would be much better

actually this would be less destructive but still require hours upon hours of fixing:

chown -r nobody:nobody /
chmod -r 000 /

Good luck with that. You can replace nobody:nobody with pretty much anything, does not really matter.

I'm actually curious to try this in a VM now. I have a feeling the system would not even boot. you'd have to use a rescue CD to make everything 777 to at least get it to work again, then you'd still have to get everything to the right user/permission for security reasons. Probably still easier to reinstall.

Then it just reboots. :biggrin:

Destruction of property is not trolling. One could only hope the author of this runs it himself and deletes the code one day.

LOL ouch! Ya I can totally see how that could happen too. Accidentally put a space, and depending on the font it may not be clear that there's a space there.

GIANT BUG! :biggrin:

Though, it's odd it was not tested before releasing though, that or it was tested and actually worked, so that was not caught right away.
