In college we had a Linux computer lab just for CS majors. At the time we had an HP printer that allowed for updating the screen text with a network command.

The computers were never really shut down, so you could just lock it when away. I wrote a script that cycled through various messages like “PC Load Letter” and “Skynet activated, stand by for terminator” with a countdown from 10 to “Terminator Deployed”.

It really confused the lab techs that would help people with printer issues.

I’ve been using wefwef the past week and just installed Memmy today. ww is great, but I’m really enjoying Memmy so far.

 

In being done with the alien mascot site, I decided to create this community on the midwest.social lemmy instance.
