Things that please you...

Decommissioning an unused VM at home but I had my fun with it before I shut it down:

rm -rfv / --no-preserve-root

Next up to try:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda

or

:() { :|:& };:
 
Ha! I subjected the next VM to the dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda command.

I left Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop running, entered sudo su and ran the command.

I monitored the disk usage within Windows and saw about 30MB/s R&W happening. Went to go feed the dogs, and found this upon my return:

767278

EDIT: I cannot seem to turn it off. I needed to kill the vmware process to get it to die:

767282
 
Sitting here in the office, busy just doing some maintenance while it's quiet, listening to Placebo on wireless headphones while streaming, getting a song from one of their really early albums and it flashed me back to sitting at the Sunday times with a CD discman with that album in it while I was working. 20 odd years ago now.
 
Coffee, even though I've built up an enormous resistance to the caffeine, just like it, its a good drink.

EDIT: This is normal coffee, not ek is n mama's boy **** from Pretoria Coffee.
 
I do not generally make New Year's Resolutions, but this year I did make one to sort out some old admin that I've been putting off as it has cost implications. I am pleased today that I am making progress towards resolving it.

Now I wanna do the same...

rm -rfv was kinda boring but I did do that on a headless server so all I saw was text output via ssh, and then I had no shell left to do anything.

dd if=/dev/urandom was quite spectacular and I recommend this one IMHO

Haven't tried the fork bomb yet, but a reboot fixes it anyway so it's nothing permanent
