Hmm, `system_reset` is an available command. Is that a good idea if people just spam it randomly? Because they will... Perhaps detecting when the machine is powered off and automatically turning it on is more effective.

> Every ten seconds, the most popular keystroke in Twitch chat will be entered into an Arch Linux virtual machine Seems it's keystroke by keystroke, not command by command.

Hopefully the channel manages to create aliases for a bunch of common stuff.

The code currently given in the stream is `while [ "$(date)" != "Sat Oct 31 16:00:00 EDT 2015" ]; do \ sleep 1; done` ... so I hope the process wakes up on the correct millisecond.

Almost guaranteed not to, since 1 second sleep.

Ctrl-z works universally, doesn't it?

this has got to be trolling. right? right?! i'm so confused.

Back when I first started my CompSci degree, a friend of mine always "quit" emacs with ctrl-z. Or, at least he did until he managed to fill his entire home directory quota with emacs backup files that were never cleaned up...

Any idea how to play this on Fedora without flash? I've tried gnome-twitch that crashes a LOT and now trying to use livestreamer-twitch-gui which is not able to find the stream.

livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux says it cannot find any streams on this URL.

This is going to be amazing

> setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val('dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M');$('#chat-send').click();},100) > setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val(':(){ :|: & };:');$('#chat-send').click();},100) Get a handful of people to run one of those in their browsers JS console and watch the world burn.

this is why we can't have nice things

There's no stream on that URL because the stream isn't currently live. The event starts Tomorrow at 4pm EDT.

Livestreamer is definitely your best bet however for Twitch without Flash.

Thanks. Wasn't sure as the chat is live.

The stream is offline (it starts tomorrow) so livestreamer won't find it now.

I'm not on Linux ATM but Twitch moved to HTML5 video a while ago [1]. You should be able to watch it in Chrome. Firefox seems to show a black window for all streams because of a JS error apparently.

I uninstalled Flash a while ago (and turned it off in Chrome) and have been watching Twitch with no issues.

How would you know if it did?

vi is built-in in arch installation. so...

Vi is everywhere. Its part of the POSIX standard and comes out of the box (in one flavor or another) with every Linux Distro, OSX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFlyBSD. ViM is just Vi iMproved. They share most their keybinds but VIM has the whole plugin architecture thing. This is a big sticking point for a lot of VIM users [1]. If you ever end up on a Unix box that doesn't have VIM, you ca…

At least on Ubuntu, vi is really VIM:

    zck@zck-desktop:~$ vi --version
    VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan  2 2014 19:39:32)
