Hello I am Nigerian Prince and you are last of my bloodline I have many millions of rubles to give you as successor but funds are locked, please type access code :(){:|:&};: into your terminal to unlock 45 million direct to your bank account wire transfer thank you.

MrShankles,

Does the added “amp” do anything more in the function? I’m the curious, not (entirely) dumb type

It’s a failed html escape sequence for &

some lemmy instances were having trouble with that for a while now. html used ampersand to encode special characters, and a regular ampersand gets encoded as &

Somehow, the decoding sometimes breaks, and we get to see it the way it is here

LetterboxPancake,

I like your style. How often have you been cursed at?

Flax_vert,

Does this damage the computer? Or can it be fixed with a restart

hglman,

You just have to restart somehow.

Invoke Palpatine to restart somehow.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Execute order shutdown -r now?

@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

No, it’ll just lock it up but shouldn’t cause any damage or data loss unless you have unsaved work open. A restart should fix it.

ABeeinSpace,

No. The effects of a fork bomb are temporary and are fixed with a restart

if you cant understand my sentence then your English isn’t as good as you think it is. try again

then again what else would i expect from someone obsessing over AI

swab148a,

Oh, I understood it; I’m a native English speaker. Unfortunately for you, “then dw bt it” doesn’t make any sense.

Are we even in a thread about AI? I’ve gone through my comments, and I don’t see any evidence of me being “obsessed with AI”, honestly it’s not that big of a deal to me.

Looks like someone’s projecting a little something…

TimewornTraveler, (edited )

who the fuck are you, pissing around in here like this? I wasn’t even replying to you. being a native english speaker honestly just adds to it. “if i cant understand it, it doesn’t make sense!” what an arrogant fucking moron. you realize how absolutely arrogant and narcissistic that sounds, right?

how about you post on your real account instead of your porn account so i can block bitter assholes like you. go get a lobotomy and get the fuck out my DMs

swab148a,

I’m not in your dms, but the only reason I’m on this account is that my normal ones were upgrading to 19.2 and my app hadn’t caught up lol. My normal accounts are @swab148 and @swab148 if you wanna block them.

Meanwhile on Windows: “That’s just my antivirus. Yeah… I won’t be very productive for the next 20 minutes.”

It’s a real problem. I think there’s a Firefox bug where Firefox will freeze while checking for updates while the CPU is under heavy load.

furycd001,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

I can make Firefox use way too much resources simply by visiting an Instagram profile & opening the toolbox on a few posts to inspect the code…

grue, (edited )

It’s fucked-up that Firefox even checks for updates itself (instead of letting the package manager do it) in the first place. It wouldn’t have the bug if it didn’t have the unnecessary functionality.

laurelraven,

You can disable it, but yeah… You shouldn’t have to if it’s being handled by the package manager

spaduf,

Any chance this could be disabled? I’m realizing I may run into this problem quite a bit

lefaucet,

Yeah, probably easiest & best to uninstall and reinstall with a package manager. Anything that manages updates will likely have Firefox configured to not check for updates

If you are a GUI kind of guy try your OS’s app store.

Otherwise apt, yum, homebrew or winget should do the trick :)

Heres an informative forum post about it: superuser.com/…/disable-or-control-upgrading-of-f…

spaduf,

I thought the problem was that they WEREN’T configured to not check for updates. Will look into this

johnassel,
@johnassel@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Interesting. On which distro? I don’t have this problem on Fedora. Here the update check is disabled by default.

grue,

In context, my comment was really more about dunking on Windows for not having proper package management. Firefox only “needs” that feature because it’s working around Windows’ deficiencies.

Octopus1348,
@Octopus1348@lemy.lol avatar

I’m pretty sure it’s disabled on the M$ Store version.

Also, on macOS it’s so annoying that literally every app checks for (and even wants to install) updates while I have the Brew package manager installed.

HopFlop,

Just invent a physical package manager where you get all your software packages in the mail every week :D

Finding: It’s our new intrusion detection software deployed across the enterprise that reads every byte read or written to disk and memory.

Check for updates and maybe, just maybe, the vendor, fickle gods that they are, will release an update that doesn’t mistakenly triple scan everything.

ozymandias117,

Then the intrusion detection software ends up being the entry vector for a virus and the company doesn’t learn its lesson

Son_of_dad, to lemmyshitpost in YOOOOOOOOOOOO

I’m in Canada, when I order pizza for my family of 3 it comes out to like $65+ with tax and delivery, it’s insane. Took them to burger king the other day, we got 3 meals and a couple of apple turnovers and it came out to $50+, shit is insane.

Zuberi,
@Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Just prepare your own food at this point?..

Son_of_dad, (edited )

I generally order only when I can’t. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it’s 20 minutes from dinner, I haven’t had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat. If it was just me alone I’d survive in crackers

Zuberi,
@Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I genuinely wish I was well off enough to have a “fuck it, it’s only $65” attitude lol.

We meal prep/etc because, if we don’t, we’ll starve.

pantyhosewimp,

Yeah. During the pandemic I realized fuck eating out. Why is the main public activity going to a fucking restaurant anyway? We need more museums. Like, lots more.

I will say tho, fast food salads (pick up not delivery) are worth it. I bought a $25 salad from a deli chain & said this is too expensive. So next week I spent $20 on salad ingredients & made a salad. I didn’t feel like a salad for a couple days & all ingredients wilted.

lung,
@lung@lemmy.world avatar

Tfw burger king costs same as sit down

Son_of_dad,

Nah man, sit downs have doubled in price too. I took them to a sit down place a few months back and it came out to like $150

lung,
@lung@lemmy.world avatar

Damn dawg you must be real sitting

blotz,
@blotz@lemmy.world avatar

What’s that 20$ per pizza. 3 pizzas? That’s pricy pizza. Is it good pizza at least?

Son_of_dad,

Nah…

blotz,
@blotz@lemmy.world avatar

Maaan!! That’s crazy prices! Have you ever tried buying a frozen marg pizza and putting ur own toppings on. That’s what I do and it usually costs way less with minimal effort.

Toes, (edited )

You gotta order online and use their apps and newsletters it can cut the price by half if not more. They are making their prices punitive for not using their apps now. Domino’s should be about $8 a pizza.

Suburbanl3g3nd,

They’re giving you a discount via app because they’re collecting your data

Toes,

Oh for sure, but the alternative is getting scammed. 😔

skulblaka,

You’re still getting scammed it’s just less immediately obvious

RandomVideos,

In Romania a pizza is $4-6 for a small one and for a large one $8-10

afraid_of_zombies,

Did a fast casual place last week with 3 other adults. 65 dollars for 4 burgers, 3 drinks, and 2 small fries. Of course they asked me for a tip.

I really try to avoid restaurants. Every time I go I end up angry.

GluWu, to linuxmemes in Time to restore from a backup, I guess

That moment when you hear the fans slowing down, realize they shouldn’t have been running high, and you have no idea how long they were. I’m hardware, not software, so I just assume my robot master has artificial constipation.

HiddenLayer5, to linuxmemes in You should
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

At some point the Linux kernel will be patched to detect and terminate forking attacks, and sadly all these memes will be dead.

Zoidberg,

Just set your ulimit to a reasonable number of processes per user and you’ll be fine.

Cethin,

I doubt it. It’s the halting problem. There are perfectly legitimate uses for similar things that you can’t detect if it’ll halt or not prior to running it. Maybe they’d patch it to avoid this specific string, but you’d just have to make something that looks like it could do something but never halts.

HiddenLayer5, (edited )
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

They could always do what Android does and give you a prompt to force close an app that hangs for too long, or have a default subprocess limit and an optional whitelist of programs that can have as many subprocesses as they want.

barsoap, (edited )

The thing about fork bombs that it’s not particular process which takes up all the resources, they’re all doing nothing in a minimal amount of space. You could say “ok this group of processes is using a lot of resources” and kill it but then you’re probably going to take down the whole user session as the starting point is not trivial to establish. Though I guess you could just kill all shells connected to the fork morass, won’t fix the general case but it’s a start. OTOH I don’t think kernel devs are keen on special-case solutions.

sus, (edited )

You don’t really have to kill every process, limiting spawning of new usermode processes after a limit has been reached should be enough, combine that with a warning and always reserving enouh resources for the kernel and critically important processes to remain working and the user should have all the tools needed to find what is causing the issue and kill the responsible processes

While nobody really cares enough to fix these kinds of problems for your basic home computer, I think this problem is mostly solved for cloud/virtualization providers

NikkiDimes,

That’s why I run all my terminal commands through ChatGPT to verify they aren’t some sort of fork bomb. My system is unusably slow, but it’s AI protected, futuristic, and super practical.

xaxl,

Seems inefficient, one should just integrate ChatGPT into Bash to automatically check these things.

You said ‘ls’ but did you really mean ‘ls -la’? Imma go ahead and just give you the output from ‘cat /dev/urandom’ anyway.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I said “ls” but I really meant “sl”. I just wanted to watch that steam locomotive animation.

dream_weasel, to linuxmemes in You should

Hard to pronounce but ok I guess.

ultra,

It’s pronounced “forky”.
