Not as funny as it seems - the error message “lp is on fire” really exists. Originally these bulky old tractor-fed matrix printers got really hot and would catch fire. That’s history, but in the early 2000s I experienced a 1990s SUN laser printer that had similar ambitions. Luckily it usually would blow some fuses before it got hot enough.
You can probably configure the demon in Linux
/. tribute.shThink it’s
./tribute.shiircEdit: removed the space between
./andtribute.sh./: is a directoryYou’re technically right since everything is a directory in Linux.
./is indeed for starting scripts thoughI haven’t had fun reading a comment thread like this in a while. Thanks guys, this is pure gold.
Edit: it’s just a tribute
This whole site is a /. tribute, with a few layers of indirection.
