I’m too scared to do this but someone who’s braver than me plz tell if it creates an infinite loop or just stops right away.
I’ve tried it. It uses up one core of your processor, but you can always ctrl+C to stop it. I’ve never had it crash the system.
I’ve written /dev/urandom to /dev/null, it just makes your fan spin harder
Ok i know /dev/zero is just zero’s
But what in the tux does /dev/null do? I assume the data send there is just gone but can someone give me more info?
It is the ultimate infinite file, representing a garbage bin with no history. DigitalOcean has a great article on that topic.
Zero is not nothing tho
