      That also loads 14 other processes, including watchers that restart the process if you stop it. None of them are named anything like the main process, so you’ll never find them.

      Oh, and also floods logs with useless messages until you run out of disk space.

      Satan don’t play soft.

    Gives me Warhammer 40k vibes of the Cult Mechanicus, where they are so backwards and conservative with their culture, rather than learn and innovate, they prefer to worship tech as an unknowable knowledge given by God, anointing their computers with oils and prayers instead of actually fixing the issues.

      Whoever came up with the Mechanicus must have worked in IT/mechanics before because after 14 hours on what should have been a 10 minute fix, you start thinking the machine took one of your curses personally.

      It’s just a convention. commands starting with $ are meant to be executed by a user. commands starting with # are meant to be executed by root.
