Ah yes, but you see, I also played Hacknet
Ah hacknet. Teaching people Linux terminal in a fun way without them even noticing.
I recently made the switch to Linux for my primary computer and I felt sad I really don’t know anything about using the CLI. Thanks to your comment, I found Hacknet on Steam and it’s on a wicked awesome discount right now so I bought it and have played for a few hours.
Now I know how to at least navigate the system through directories, and that’s giving me confidence enough to keep on exploring and studying more. Thank you! :)
wait fr? should i start playing?
For real. Hacknet uses commands that work like that in the usual Linux terminals. Including the auto complete feature. At the very least you will learn the basics from that game. As for if you should start to play it. Well the question is if you enjoy a puzzle game with a story that is hacking themed using actual terminal commands to do stuff. If that sounds like fun the go for it.
Only if you install the Holywood package unironically
“It even plays Mission Impossible theme music in the background.”
Hahaha! That’s amazing 🥲
Are you even a real hacker if your screensaver isn’t the cascading Matrix code?
You have a Screensaver? I just have a recursive Get-ChildItem command full-screen reading out the entire windows registry.
The errors add color and variety
Screensaver? I rigged up Wallpaper Engine just to make that my actual desktop background.
I only hack while drinking a fine bottle of champagne, with at least 3 monitors that start flashing beautiful colors, as soon as $hacked === true.
Usually John Travolta and Halle Berry stop by later and join me raving to the hack.
