Useless CLI tools
I'm looking for dumb, useless and fun cli tools like cowsay or Hollywood
-
Why this community?
One example software project is hollywood. A tiny tool which turns your terminal into a Hollywood style real time hacking scene:
-
Does anyone know what the program it is?
Probably hollywood
- All you need is a % completion popup
-
Hacking time!
https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood for anyone wondering
- having an empty screen can be worse can be worse than a screen with something weird. are there any tools you use for this purpose?
-
What distro is this in this video? (Oneyplays)
But the screen you're looking at is just the hollywood program, which just runs a bunch of programs with heavy output to simulate the ridiculous cliches of what hacking looks like in movies.

I'd laugh if this wasn't so sad. I know people who have a boss like this, but to have it on this extreme is insanity.
For those that need it - there are several scripts like Hollywood [ https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood ] that just lays on top in your terminal pushing out nonsense and others that are more realistic that does the same. I mean Hollywood doesn't look the least bit real so might only work if your boss is thick

What's the funniest "crazy hacker terminal emulator" I can use to make a funny skit?
Another one to look at is genact.

Feeling like a linux poser
genact
-
Why do hackers in hacker movies type in the absolute path to a binary? Like, /usr/bin/ping instead of ping.
Or just run genact. It does absolutely nothing, but looks cool (not) doing it.
