or be boring and alias sl=ls
I prefer "the fuck" https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck
Yeah, that's going to be installed tomorrow.
thefuck is abandoned, you could try https://github.com/iffse/pay-respects instead
I thought this was going to be about "the fuck"
The fuck is awesome.
Someone installed this across our 2500 machine entire fleet back in 2013. I wanted to fucking punch him in the dick, especially during incidents where every second matters.
Shoulda made the alias instead it sounds like!
Oof. Were they found and removed from the org?
Nah it was a pretty immature company at the time, just told not to do shit like that anymore.
Once we ipo’d and put on big boy pants, that would have been at least a reprimand.
If we're sharing silly useless projects, I quite like "activate linux", the configurable watermark inspired by "Activate Windows".
It's unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway.This isn't useless. It serves a purpose.
It's for interns who fat finger commands to force them to slow down and be more intentional and verify their commands before pressing enter.
So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.
I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.
It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.
Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.
Installing SL is part of my standard cloud-init config.
sl | lolcatI would get slightly amused every time I typed "lust" instead of "list" as a kid in applesoft basic.
...now the question is do we want to implement a command for that
steam locomotive
rolling down the track
i sure am glad i use yakuake widescreen
That's a lot of choo-choo'ing

Not a mistake but a fun reminder that the terminal can be a very fun place!

this is perfect
I love dev work like this. Computers should be fun again.
Does anyone know the "prank" repo that would delete Linux system (or Windows) when an wrong typo ran?
alias l="ls", I'm immune to this problemOr
ll='ls -laFh'to have it just how I like it
I love how knowledge shedding makes this a cyclical discovery.
im currently baking this into our hpc. people gotta see the train!
This is exactly the type of thing I love.
Lately for me it’s been “ks”
Ah yes. When you need to slow the fuck down.
