paleofetch VS hacker-scripts

This is how you compile neofetch

Fun fact: You waste half of your life waiting for neofetch to execute during shell startup. Use paleofetch instead. It's almost a replica of neofetch written in C but it runs instantly without any delay.

I'm really excited to share my project in this subreddit. Basically Neofetch is written in bash so it's extremely slow. This is especially bad if you like to run it every time your terminal starts (I don't do this but I run the command a lot). Someone wrote an alternative to Neofetch in C. It is no longer maintained so another person forked it to maintain it.

I know about Paleofetch but it lacks features, is user-unfriendly (gotta recompile to change configs, also sucks if you don't understand code), couldn't make it on some distros...

The above was a joke, lol. paleofetch is a rewrite of neofetch in C and it's claim to fame is shaving neofetch's 222 millisecond run time down to 3 milliseconds. I doubt any human thinks fast enough to effectively use 219 milliseconds. https://github.com/sam-barr/paleofetch

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

nunca te olvides de esto...
