Exactly zero risk
Especially for her, seeing that we know she doesn’t use Windows.
She uses an arcane mix of Linux From Scratch and OpenBSD
Canonically she uses Copland OS, which is named after an abandoned Mac OS 8 prototype but is functionally completely different. Given that Copland OS is built to access what works like a crossbreed between the internet and and the Zone from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, I think it’s reassuring that we don’t have it in our world.
Copland was supposed to take over the world at the time the anime was made, so that makes sense. Didn’t quite turn it that way, of course, which is probably for the better.
Let me guess, you’re not using Windows?
0.4889 / 7 chance of failure, naively accounting for Windows’ market share and assuming the user is sufficiently privileged(according to LostXOR’s comment, I stand corrected)
Make it a bit more fun.
1 in 6 chance to trigger the logic.
The logic?
- Get list of all files ending in .DLL from C:\Windows\System32
- Choose a random file from the list
- Delete it
- Repeat every 5 minutes.
The slow deterioration, and random issues appearing that are tough to diagnose would be more fun than such wanton destruction.
The equivalent of losing (part of) a finger on each success/failure, instead of totally evacuating the contents of your skull.
The chance is actually 1 in 7 because both 0 and 6 are included in the
randInt()range.Oh right. I thought it might work the same as range etc in python, where is does one less than you specify… Coming from, well every other language this really threw me off on my first python excursion.
Any language… except MATLAB. Fuck MATLAB.
(Their arrays even start at 1, what the fuck?!)
You can get the exclusive behaviour with
random.randrange. (Relevant Stack Overflow question with a somewhat interesting answer)
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'C:\Windows\System32'At least use
shutil.rmtreefor some semblance of possibility.Also, the backslashes need to be escaped I believe
Or just use forward slashes like someone sane!
Can you even run Windows on a RPi?
Not really. Microsoft compiled a version of their OS for ARM devices - creatively named “Windows on ARM”, but on a Raspberry Pi I’d hardly describe the performance as “running” - walking/crawling would be more apt.
If DOSBox runs on one, then the old DOS-based Windows versions might work. But then, they didn’t keep much in System32, where they even had it at all.
if [[ $(shuf -i 1-6 -n 1) -eq 1 ]]; then sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root fiWhat fukin psycho is running windows on a raspberry pi?
