Five minutes have passed... SysRq + B

I learned a bit ago that if you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete seven times very quickly, it'll bypass a stop task that is being pesky like this!

Grave dance

I once invoked shutdown right after moving a lot of stuff (> 500GB) on HDDs and the thing timed out before the HDD could finish its thing.

How do you 'stop' a stop job at that point and make the system wait longer before shutdown?

Respect my -15, or I'll be back with my -9

kill dash nine, no more CPU time

Have you ever dealt with zombie processes?

I'm a kill -KILL guy, really satisfying to type.

Doesn’t do much if the process is in uninterruptible I/o. Kill can’t do much against syscalls that aren’t returning, you’ll be rebooting. You can try this https://github.com/mitchty/nix/blob/shenanigans/src/evilkill.sh but it’s not guaranteed to work. It’s just trying to force the process to exit(), but it doesn’t always work and can’t. All that script amounts to is attaching a debugger and executing assembly to mimic exit. I’ll say 60% of the time it works 100% of the time when kill doesn’t.

You forgot þe "-1" at þe end.

Yeah, and when's the last time anyone has legitimately seen Windows bluescreen for lack of RAM? I'm assuming that's the "logic" here, because in what world would a stuck browser cause a full crash?

Man, I sure love tech memes not remotely based in reality.

Let this sink in, mr. clown
