      I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn’t locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.

        They left a root session open? Then they really deserved it.

        Oh, maybe it was just the sl binary downloaded somewhere.

        I am a menace around unlocked computers. Was at a job and found a colleague who left his computer unlocked and had customer information open in a co working space on his screen. Set his computer language to hebrew before locking it.

        Another time in college I found an unlocked computer in a library. Set their profile picture to Chris Chan with an overlay image saying “#ThisIsMyAuthenticSelf #Unafraid”. On this system, the user was not likely to see their own picture, but other people they contact will.

            I used to set default webpages on display models in stores to direct competitors sites.

          Couple of jobs back, the custom was to either set the background image to something disgusting and borderline NSFW, or go on the equivalent of Slack that we used and announce “I’m getting everyone pizza tomorrow” for them. The latter was considered just punishment for a security violation.

        Logging in on the high school computers there was a way through some folder tree into the wallpapers of all the teacher accounts. Boy did we have fun with that, they never found out who did it though

      I’m officially done with Google, I think. Search results for ‘sl’ were nothing useful. But the AI response takes the cake.

      “SL” can refer to several things, but in the context of Ida-Viru County, it most likely refers to Stockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), the public transportation system in the Stockholm area.

      I don’t live in that county, not even close tbh. And even if I did, how would the public transit system in another country, across a sea, be all that relevant to me?

      I know you’re joking but:

      \sl or command sl.

      I’d say “check your shell documentation” but they’re both almost impossible to search for. They both work in Bash. Both skip aliases and shell functions and go straight to shell builtins or things in the $PATH.

      There’s also /usr/bin/sl but you knew that.

            Oh, I was just remarking that I don’t have anything but env installed in there. I wouldn’t be able to run sl by its full path unless I go searching for wherever that is

              Whoa. What distro is it that puts everything in /bin, or at least, practically nothing in /usr/bin?

              I use a Debian that actually symlinks /bin to /usr/bin so that they’re one and the same (annoying some purists), but even on systems where they are (or were) used for separate purposes, I thought that each had a significant number of commands in them.

              (To paraphrase man hier, /bin is for necessary tools and /usr/bin is for those that are nice to have.)

                They’re likely using NixOS. It makes /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh for compatibility but nothing else goes in those dirs

                NixOS, all packages are in /nix/store/, where each package had its own folder (simplified because there’s the hashing stuff but idk how to explain that)

                This allows you to have multiple versions of the same package, on the same system, for example.

    My preferred alias is

    alias l='ls -latrF'

    It’s the command line version of setting your file browser to list files with details instead of showing a grid of icons.

    Edit: I did install sl thanks to some of the other comments. Beautiful!
