    Pretty sure I’m not gonna be running anything involving “gzip -d”, seems like probably a bad idea, lol.

        I think your llama’s ears are suffering from some kind of malformed whitespace problem.

        … guess you better pony up that money for the update that fixes it, lol.

        Is that even some particular kind of actual instruction set, or just gibberish that would cause something like a fork bomb?

        I guess it is a base-d virus though, 64 ways to sunday…

          For it to be anything executable you’d have to pipe it into bash again to evaluate it

          For it to be a zip bomb of any merit, the gzipped contents would have to have more than a few bytes
