From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm pretty sure it just plays sounds/music.
But still, I'm not running obfuscated code from the internet on my machine.
EDIT:
Nvm that, lemmy disliked my code for some reason.
"Here, run this unreadable code" just goes against all rules of computer safety.
EDIT2:
Did a little “oopsie” there. My bad. It’s fixed now.
And that's one of the reasons.
Aplay can wreck your speakers and/or soundcard depending on what's fed to it.
I wouldn't even run this on someone else's machine.
I ran it on my boss’ laptop.
Why tf would anyone run a random shell script on their machine? You don’t even need an RCE anymore you just need a dumb ass on social media.
Downvote, block user and move on.
Ye run this script which uses GCC and launches compiled result, what could possibly go wrong
Show don't tell
If you want to run some less low-level code to explore the kinds of sounds that code like this can create, I wrote a python applet that lets you explore random and custom functions interactively. It comes with several presets for interesting functions I've discovered on various websites.
