mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Aug-2024 13:53:11 JST mcc I am constantly seeking ways to fit the EICAR antivirus test string into inappropriate places. Fit it in a QR code, print and frame it and hang it behind me during Twitch streams. Embed it in an NFC chip in my wrist. Build an impromptu transmitter and beam it into space. Swallow a smart pill which CRISPRs me to insert it into my DNA at the moment of my death, to confound attempts to identify my corpse

As long as the first character of each line is a # it will even be parsed properly by scrapers
