Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm kinda new to this , does it mean it will call Emacs recursively and I parallel?

    Sorry in advance if I got that wrong!

    Search up "fork bomb". That's what this does.

    Holy crab thanks for the info that was one hell of a way to choke the pc , Imagine if it was a service lol.

    They will just get around this by creating a service that launches actual Emacs when a sudden increase in CPU temp is detected.

    And you linked to piped.video so the spambot didn't give it away. Impressive.

    If your app gives you a link preview (because I'd prefer to know what I click before I click), you know what it's gonna be before you click. I still click, because I enjoy the song.

    emacs(){emacs|emacs&};emacs

    For pro emacs users

    SpoilerDon't run this idiot

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    That probably won't work by default because ulimit sets maximum processes per user, but I haven't tried it recently, or with emacs.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

    Its not with emacs its simply the name of the function and it doesnt touch emacs. Also how much will be the ulimit by default and what if cpu is still weak...

    This works in my android phone inside termux though lol
