I made a joke 🙃

A screenshot of a reddit post titled "IT people on the trail" with a poop trowel labelled "OUTPUT" and a spork labelled "INPUT". Underneath the screenshot is my husband's response: "would've been funnier if it said stdout and stdin, though that would of course prompt the question of wtf stderr is". To which I responded with a photo of a positive pregnancy test labelled with standard error.

Roman Sharkov ! Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, didn't work. Googled for 2 hours, found out that instead of /usr/local/bin the virus unpacked to /usr/bin for which the user malware doesn't have any write permissions, therefore the virus couldn't create a process file. Found patched . configure and .make files on some Chinese forum, recompiled and rerun it. The virus said it needs the library cmalw-1ib-2.0. Turns out cmalw-1ib-2.0 is shipped with CentOS but not with Ubuntu. Googled for hours again and found an instruction to build a . deb package from source. The virus finally started, wrote some logs, made a core dump and crashed. After 1 hour of going through the logs | discovered the virus assumed it was running on ext 4 and called into its disk encryption API. Under btrfs this API is deprecated. The kernel noticed and made this partition read only. Opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin wallet and sent $5 out of pity.
