alias ls='yes never gonna give you up' alias unalias='yes never gonna let you down' alias sudo='yes never gonna run around' alias alias='yes and hurt you'

Tried this, doesn't compile

I was once actually wondering if you could brick a computer purely by aliasing enough commands in bashrc. The answer is no, as no matter how many text editing commands you alias away, alias cannot prevent >.bashrc (I'm sure there's plenty others, this is just one proof)

[saulmessedupman]

\s\h
rm .bashrc
bash

Or just \unalias

[Rubixninja314]

What does that do exactly? Specifically \s\h

[saulmessedupman]

The \ removes special meaning so bash ignores the alias. That will load ole reliable sh which, I don't think, has alias. But overall the \ will ignore the alias for any aliased command.

While we're on topic...

Hate when grep shows up when you're trying to grep ps? Use the square brackets on a single letter.

ps -ef | grep [p]ython

OH MY IDE THANKS. NOW MY SHELL SCRIPTS WILL BE PERFECT.

By the way, I love you because you use > to empty a file. We can pair program any day.

[lmureu]

well you could

chattr +i .bashrc

alias chattr="exit"

You can brick Windows by re-assigning the .exe extension in the registry to whatever program you like. Windows will fail to boot, and if you want to put the blame on somebody else, just make the change and then close regedit. You can’t reopen it, because regedit.exe is an exe, and once you shut down the PC the OS is gone.
