    Heh, haven’t seen the bash forkbomb in close to two decades… Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :)

      You know how I know I’ve gotten better at using linux?

      I saw the command and read it and figured out what it was although I’ve never been exposed to a fork bomb before in my life.

      I was like okay, this is an empty function that calls itself and then pipes itself back into itself? What the hell is going on?

      I will say that whoever invented this is definitely getting fucked by roko’s basilisk, though. The minute they thought of this it was too late for them.
