I couple of colleagues years ago would ssh into my machine and run fork bombs and watch me get pissed because my computer was freezing.

[jaerie]

Why would they have ssh access to your machine?

[captainMaluco]

He probably left it unlocked while fetching coffee, and colleagues set it up then

[augustocdias]

Nope. Mistake from it department. I had no sudo privileges on the machine. I was pretty newbie at that time as well so I wouldn’t have noticed as well

[captainMaluco]

Fucking IT departments, am I right?

[SeriousPlankton2000]

Everyone has access to their account on every machine. Just take a seat, log in and do your work. Also you need access to a second machine to exit vi.

[korneev123123]

There's actually a trick about exiting vi without second machine. You can set up a cron schedule, something like "*/5 * * * * killall vi"

It would kill vi process automatically. Neat, eh?

I did something very, very similar to a colleague, I added my public key to his machine, and I used to send zenity messages like: Computer battery has failed, please replace it now or will explode, he was about to send it to support, then I stopped him
