    Not a mistake but a fun reminder that the terminal can be a very fun place!

    Someone installed this across our 2500 machine entire fleet back in 2013. I wanted to fucking punch him in the dick, especially during incidents where every second matters.

      The point is to make you slow down. Going fast and breaking things worse is not good during an incident.

      If you typed sl and actually pressed enter before confirming what you typed, you deserve what you got

    So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.

    I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.

    It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.

    Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.

    If we’re sharing silly useless projects, I quite like “activate linux”, the configurable watermark inspired by “Activate Windows”.
    It’s unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway.
