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.

Anyone want to try this "nyancat" docker image? It's pretty big -- 23kIB. :^) (hub.docker.com)

Long, short story: CLI animation with some minor annoyances. "Handcrafted" most of em out of the .c file, followed by a bunch of gcc flags. Made it distroless, and this came up. Then my "sharing itch" started after checking the memory usage of the container at a whooping 0 bytes. (I know it must be way more than that, but still.). Just curious if I screwed something up or not. Also, c/Docker is really dead so I had to resort to you guys.

docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --net none --cap-drop=all --read-only --security-opt=no-new-privileges defnotgustavom/nyancat

Downvotes are to the left if you just don't care and need that dopamine/self-validation hit, I guess. (Just saying since last time I shared a simple command, with code and all, and I got downvoted to oblivion plus my thread deleted for no apparent reason, so eh.)
