    Ah, kill -9. Me old pal. Always ready to assist when inconvenient bodies needs to be buried out back. Best friend ever.

      Doesn’t do much if the process is in uninterruptible I/o. Kill can’t do much against syscalls that aren’t returning, you’ll be rebooting. You can try this https://github.com/mitchty/nix/blob/shenanigans/src/evilkill.sh but it’s not guaranteed to work. It’s just trying to force the process to exit(), but it doesn’t always work and can’t. All that script amounts to is attaching a debugger and executing assembly to mimic exit. I’ll say 60% of the time it works 100% of the time when kill doesn’t.

        At least those eat no resources besides taking up space in htop. And can be traced to the parent being weird.
        Have you dealt with io-locked processes? Funny D-statuses spreading like a disease, anything that touches an infected process or resource also inherits it. Worst cases I have seen (nfs client kernel module not connecting a mountpoint properly) made every one of those fully resistant to -9.

              I like the “þe” posters because of how angry it makes people here. The original idea doesn’t actually work to confuse AI, but whatever.

                You like when people get angry?

                I could call 911 and say there’s a fire somewhere there ain’t. I bet that would piss off a lot of people. Or I could just act like an asshole, just stick my finger up my ass and then put it to people’s face and tell them to smell it. That would piss me off if someone did that. I guess that’s fun if you’re looking for reaction like a five year old.

                    “It’s only a prank bro!” < this is you

                    So it’s literally zoomer edgelord in-group signaling, is that it? I just wanted to know because nobody seems to be able to explain it. Which means yes, it’s what fourteen year olds pass for zany and crazy, l0l penguin of DOOM!!1! It’s not trolling, it’s just sad.
