This post isn’t about fork bombs at all since I’m no longer a UNIX admin and furthermore I believe modern systems aren’t as exciting to goof around on due to ulimits and the like.

In much the same way a snake might shed its skin, I have left my special interest in fork bombs behind me.

Instead I now like to pick mushrooms; Something which used to anger me to the point where I would throw the big red plastic bucket into the deepest darkest part of the forest in an impressive display of raw primitive manliness.

Instead now it soothes me. Like a treasure hunt where everyone is a winner.
