dream_weasel,

Hard to pronounce but ok I guess.

ultra,

It’s pronounced “forky”.

Sprokes,

Does it work on fish shell?

Public_Tumbleweed,

There is only 1 way to find out

auf,

and nushell?

dukk,

Doesn’t work in nushell, function syntax is different.

Probably still possible, just written differently.

Knusper, (edited )

What that garble of symbols does, is that it defines and calls a function named :, which calls itself twice.

The syntax for defining a function is different in Fish, so no, this particular garble will not work:

But it is, of course, possible to write a (much more readable) version that will work in Fish.

you can write a more readable version in any shell, it’s intentionally unreadable

cashews_best_nut,

Unfortunately it works in zsh. I just had to kill my laptop after curiosity got the better of me.

Knusper, (edited )

Yeah, I meant, as an attacker, you couldn’t come up with a similarly unreadable version.

At least, as far as I can tell, defining a function requires spelling out function and seems to require being defined on multiple lines, too.

Oh, I see. That’s very nice then

Karyoplasma,

The ampersand looks very weird in that font. It would bug me.

Knusper, (edited )

It hails back to the early days of the ampersand, from when it was basically still just Latin “et”: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trebuchet_MS_ampersand.svg

Personally, I do like this font (Fira Mono+Sans), because it still looks professional, without being so boring that I get depression from looking at it.
But yeah, that ampersand is pushing it a bit, as I’m not sure everyone else knows that’s an ampersand…

For those who are curious but not dumb.

Whenever I get a free engraving on something, I send this in.

What for those of us who are dumb but not curious?

In that case…

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

eating3645,

😂

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

What if I am dumb but not greedy?

caseyweederman,

Good old Bobby Droptables

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.

acockworkorange,

Invoke Palpatine to restart somehow.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Execute order shutdown -r now?

MacNCheezus,
@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

Oh, this is like when I was in high school and made batch files that open themselves infinitely and named them "not a virus" on the desktop, only to enjoy other students immediately running them.
