    Does colon-capital-Q-exclamation mark even work? I’m pretty sure it’s only lower case q.

      its supposed to be lowercase,
      but imgflip put the entire text in uppercase.

        Honestly, the joke landed anyway. I’ve done numerous uppercase-Q trying to quit, because I didn’t let go of Shift fast enough after typing the colon…

    cat /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem" is my favorite dumb way. Clear its memory, wait for the segfault.

      …you can write to program memory? Idk how exactly but that feels like a security risk.

        It’s your process, why shouldn’t you be able to write to it? Vi is certainly doing it…

          You do need to be root to do it to arbitrary processes.

      Get fancy, add progress bar: pv < /dev/zero > “/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem”

      holy crap,
      that’s exactly what i wanted the last command to do.

      i just didn’t know you can target jobs,
      and settled with quitting the shell instead

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=s5lj9YdKMz0

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
