Gives you a bollywood experience right into your terminal, with more than 1000 ips simulated! An INFINITE amount of simulated names! Over 100 different types of glitches! An overly dramatic hack, just like seen in the movies! And more (If you -REALLY- have a lot of time to spend staring at this command.)

IDK,n if it's going to give me a Bollywood experience, I expect singing and dancing in my terminal.

I'm a little disappointed it's not a GUI written in Visual Basic. (Kidding, kidding.)

I dunno why but this immediately made me think of Uplink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uplink_(video_game)

There is the Hollywood package in the apt repo that does this too.

I wonder how hard it would be to make this a screensaver. Obviously this is a C program but I’ve got no idea what formats screensavers use to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You could make a cronjob/bash script that opens haxx in a terminal, with the appropriate font size.

Screensavers are normal programs, often written in C. The only issue is that this thing is not a fullscreen OpenGL app.

Written in C and memory safety is not necessary. 10/10.
