The Nerdy Sixty | (28/60) Fork Bomb | Challenge
There’s a notorious shell one-liner `:(){ :|:& };:`. What does it do (and why should you NOT run it)? Hint 1
It defines a function `:` that calls itself twice, creating an exponential process fork. Hint 2
It will spawn processes indefinitely (a fork bomb), exhausting system resources.
