We’ve been a group of 4-5 students spending each nights at the Crémi these few last days, this building of three floors where each floor has around 10 rooms full of computers.

We work, we eat, we play, and we crash each other computers.

There are a bunch of games installed on every computers but we mostly play SauerBraten, a quake-like.

My 15-year-old self would have spent most of his days here playing, if only he knew that his future campus would have such a sacred place :)

How do we crash each other computer? We just ssh into their machine and launch a fork bomb:

 :(){ :|:& };:

It operates by defining a function called ‘:’, which calls itself twice, once in the foreground and once in the background.
