Proposal for a new Linux special file: /dev/scream It's like /dev/zero, but it's endless stream of the letter 'a', with an occasional capital 'A' at a random frequency.

I still cannot figure out how to finish up the scream with a “h” when the machine shuts down :(
register_sys_off_handler() doesn’t seem to do what I need. I can register a handler but it doesn’t seem to get invoked?
@yaakov Thank you for your service; I also wondered at implementing this myself! 😂
@yaakov I want to see this forked, I mean spooned, to /dev/iscream
@knuppelbeer /dev/iscream and /dev/uscream?

@yaakov /dev/uscream I understand, but has there ever been /dev/irandom?

@knuppelbeer

@yaakov ah nice, I narrowly avoided the same
@yaakov
feature request: you write any vocal like "aeiou" into the device and it screams that one ...
