    Breaking MacOS is easy, if the fork bomb doesn’t work just create a function which recursively writes files until the disk is full. Unless they fixed it in the past 5 years, at that point even when the OS is set to delete files directly, it will still fail to delete anything. I couldn’t even remove anything with sudo rm -f, that just triggered a ‘not enough space to remove file’ error message.

    Found that out the hard way when a program borked itself and filled the entire drive with log files until there was not even a single byte left. Fortunately I had a very small file in the bin, clearing that still worked and those few bytes were enough to be able to perform file deletes again. Never bothered to find out why MacOS behaved that way as I was able to ditch that OS entirely not long after, but perhaps somebody else knows.








  • I tried returning to WoW (Classic) after a 10 year absence, thought I’d try tanking for a change instead of healing. Deadmines, what could go wrong?

    Well, one mage managed to not only constantly draw agro from me, he also bumbled into the next group of mobs while the rest was still regaining mana again and again. Looted the box that starts that boss fight with a Tauren while the rest was not ready and wiping the party as a result. After that we all concluded that pressing on wasn’t going to work. Fucking hell, never gotten such a toxic shit load of crap in my chat ever before, he sent me a book’s worth of profanities all because “I sucked at tanking” according to him. Decided then and there that this was not the way how I wanted to spend my free time. When I quit WoW I already noticed that the social aspect was going down the drain, apparently it hasn’t gotten any better during my absence.
