Absolutely perfect. I was traveling with a friend and we decided to watch a movie I had on my hard drive. Once I booted into i3 and I had to use a couple key chords to navigate, they said, “Your computer gives me anxiety.” 😂
Same person almost shit their pants when I replaced youtu.be with yewtu.be in a URL to get a region locked video to play. I am a bonafide hacker in their eyes.
I was installing Alpine Linux on a Raspberry Pi 5 and was using the kitchen TV as a temporary monitor. My parents thought I was sending encrypted messages. I was just updating the repository list to find the quickest mirror.
It’s funny to me how some people see text scrolling by on a screen and immediately think witchcraft.
I used to do something similar when I was working in embedded systems, specifically because my superiors had no idea. I would just put our OS up to compile on repeat so one if my machines was always spitting out nonsense (but vaguely related to work).
“Sorry boss, just waiting on the new build to finish up so I can start on that.”
Used to keep a terminal sesh up that was just scrolling top on the dev server whenever I felt like being lazy while looking productive. Took my very tech savvy boss a couple months before he finally noticed.
I’m pretty sure the VP of engineering knew what I was up to, but I think he also understood that I didn’t get paid enough to be as neurotic as he was and I generally got stuff done ahead of schedule any way.
