From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I upvoted, but the im*ge didn’t load, so I hope that it’s something funny or relevant
Me when I forget why I'm in a directory, then remember, but forget again
pwd even when the bash prompt tells me where I am
I forget pwd

I‘m in.
I've told the wife I can't watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can't stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens
The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:
shred -uz /*
Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.
I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking "here we go" then..."holy shit... Those are real commands"
That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then... Wait, no, those actually make sense
And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I've ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn't seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.

I'm in!
This guy didn't LS or LL lol just changed directories 4 times and then....?
Coulda thrown a couple ls - las around and he woulda been golden
I have bash_alias open in another window so you can see:
ls='ls -alph --group-directories-first --color=always'
root='sudo rm -f / \ hunter2'
OMG, they just got root access!!!
Heresy? In my Linux command line? It's more likely than you think
"I'm in."
at least output dmesg or get htop on the screen or something. you could find it on the internet if you look up commands to look like a hacker and thats not even 30 seconds of effort. i wonder how many other professions cringe at the shitty tv shows about their craft.
We even have an app for it now: apt install hollywood

That's some shitty 'hacking'...
But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.
Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.
"Scary how hackers are always using DOS prompts isn't it?"

Yeah everyone knows the real way to hack Linux is to do tree /
Lots of weird looking text output means lots of hacking
I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.
Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess
It makes me happy that I actually understand this stuff now lol
I'm sure there's a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can't remember what it's called.
I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.
Ah, that's the clue I needed.
!itsaunixsystem@lemmy.federated.club
Think that instance is dead though.

And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.
I was playing DMC: Devil May Cry (the prequel one) and they used a bunch of mount commands on a screen to show Virgil hacking the network

Just wait until they discover rm, mv, and mkdir!
mkdir /dir
cd /dir
cd /dir
mkdir 2
cd /dir
cd /dir/2
cd /dir
mv 2 /2
cd /2
mkdir /dir/3
rm -f 3
Heresy indeed. The Codex does not support this shell.
Bones shows an "Amiga", that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.
