🚨 FRIDAY QUIZ TIME 🚨
I have just provisioned a new dedicated server. It's been deployed running 22.04.3. I SSH'ed in as root, given the provided credentials. 🤓
QUESTION: What's the very first command I typed after logging in? 🤔

I suspect this might be quite niche knowledge, but if you know me, you may know I'd do this.

Bit worried absolutely nobody will get this. :D

A clue will be provided if nobody gets it, in a couple of hours. :)

CLUE: it’s one command with one parameter. No internet connection required for the command to complete successfully.

CLUE 2: The command (and parameter) doesn't modify anything on disk. (other than adding to my bash history, and the stuff in /dev or /proc or /sys which is required by the kernel for the process to function)

popey

CLUE 3: This is the server I purchased and ran the command on. The image contains a clue.
(note I am now getting in my car to drive home from London so won’t see replies for at least an hour maybe two)
Enjoy!
