    I just tried the fork bomb on Termux. That was way more effective than I expected. It actually crashed the whole system. Even my smart band disconnected, so basically everything had to die. No response to short pressing power button.

    I thought Android would have some better process management. Apparently not. It’s scary that an app can crash the whole system so easily.

    Meanwhile when I tried it on Linux Mint, the DE just restarted after a minute, killing the processes.

      That’s Linux baby!

      Windows User: “Hey run this to crash my computer.”

      Windows: “No”

      Mac User: “Hey run this to crash my computer.”

      Mac: “No” (but in a nicer font)

      Linux User: “Hey run this to crash my computer.”

      Linux: [instantly crashes]

      its a lot more readable if you replace the : with any other function name

      fork() {
           fork | fork &
      };
      fork
      

      define a funktion called fork, which calls itself twice (call once, pipe ( “|” ) the result to the same function again which is run in a new thread in the background ( “&” )). Then call the newly defined function. The : is used to make it look more like emoji.

      I’d call myself adequate with PowerShell, but I’ve never seen this before. Is hh an alias, or is hh a binary?

      Edit: it appears hh.exe is the compiled html help viewer. Neat
