Remember: before killing yourself, it's your responsibility to kill your children.

And delete all the memories you had during that

If you fork, you're gonna have children. Those children will slowly eat up your memory. It's time to hang them up. Shut their pipes. Sometimes they refuse to die, like cats. Control Cat won't work. That's where you want to kill them 9 times.

Simple Children

I don't think that's the preferred nomenclature anymore.

What are we up to now? Differently intellected youth? Synaptically challeneged? Or can we wrap back around to stupid kids?

Dumping core

I love the constant Star Trek references on Lemmy.

Also that the proper procedure is to first kill oneself & then others. So many get that wrong.

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Actually, you have to kill your children before yourself.

They become zombie processes if you kill yourself while they're still alive.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, ofc, you need mana first, that's why you procured children with unique PIDs.

Core dump in computing predates star trek - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I don't know why but "dumping core" was a really funny way for this to end

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

The source, in case anyone is wondering.
