7 panel comic
1: [2 guys, both in fur lined coats, one wearing a fur-lined hat, the other with crazy hair, sit in circular booth in a rundown bar. 2 empty shot glasses and a bottle are visible on the table.]
Hat: Stop it, you’re crazy! This isn’t you talking, it’s the vodka!
Hair: Leave it…
2: [The two men are sitting across from a third man in a similar fur-line coat and hat, but glasses and a beard. A laptop sits in front of the bearded man.]
Beard: It’s not a game for cowards…
3: [Hair pulls the laptop towards him. Hat looks worried]
Hair: Come on, gimme that and let’s get it over with!
4: [Hair has a crazy and excited look on his face]
Hair: Each one on his own prod server?
Beard: Each one on his own prod server.
5: [Close up of Hats finger clicking the touch pad]
6: [Close up of the sweat dripping down Hats face]
7: [A terminal is open on the laptop screen]
Laptop reads:
root@server:~# [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo “Lucky boy”;


Oh I do remember that sickening feeling when an
rmdoesn’t come back immediately –_—I still remember when I managed to rm -rf / foo (I accidentally typed a space between / and foo) on my very early linux box on the 90s. 80486, 16 mb
I pressed enter. Saw what I did. Remembered that sync ran at every 30s* Pressed the power button.
*= those were simple times, but not better times
So I rm -rf ed my root fs and my box survived it due to the quick power off.
