gsend VS hacker-scripts

I wrote a command-line MP3 player in C for Windows. I just wanted to play with the media manger API's, but I've ended up using this to play MP3's in succession via a script.

It doesn't work on all versions of Windows ... it depends on some configuration elements. This has been used in another developer's video game and I believe it's installed with an MP3 player library in node.js ( if you're running node.js under Windows. ) It also plays WAV files on Windows 10 (possibly 11) if you pass the name of a WAV file into the command-line.

I needed a command-line emailer that would send an email with a very simple one-line body for my Mac. I also wanted to exercise Go's SMTP libraries while experimenting with trying to build a minimal emailer application.

I use this regularly. I used to use it on MacOS, but I use it more frequently on Windows.

Reminded me of Hacker Scripts, specifically `fucking-coffee`:

> this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens a telnet session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has a TCP socket up and running) and sends something like `sys brew`. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk.

India has hundreds of millions of English speakers, is it a stellar IT nation? It can only boast a dozen puppet top execs of Indian origins in US megacorps like Microsoft and Google. And a few hundred thousands of office drones on H-1B visas. Half of them probably already got used as ass wipes and fired during the post-pandemic mass layoffs. Are there so many reasonably known Indian programmers? If the ones working in IT companies may not be known due to NDAs and code being proprietary, they should have as many known contributors to free software. Where are they? Do you know many? I know ONLY ONE. All India is known for are mean memes like the one about Kumar the proverbial asshole.

This story comes to mind. It could very well be made up, but someone else made those scripts inspired by the story.

kumar-asshole.sh

This is the script used to talk to the coffee machine:

I wonder how many other devices talk telnet and have a weak password. Would be cool to have a database of such models.

This reminded me of this internet folklore: https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/249-now-thats-what-i-call-a-...

There is also a recreation of the scripts at https://github.com/NARKOZ/hacker-scripts

This is it, not sure if it's the original
