I was browsing around my company’s internal wiki while looking for some teaching aids on teaching the Red Hat RH033 course this week and next. While there, I found this fun little gem (provided by Joseph Hall):
When teaching file permissions, create a directory called ‘base’ and in that directory a number of base? files:
aaron@kratos:~$ mkdir base; cd base
aaron@kratos:~/base$ touch base{1,2,3,4}
aaron@kratos:~/base$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 aaron aaron 0 Nov 4 01:59 base1
-rw-r--r-- 1 aaron aaron 0 Nov 4 01:59 base2
-rw-r--r-- 1 aaron aaron 0 Nov 4 01:59 base3
-rw-r--r-- 1 aaron aaron 0 Nov 4 01:59 base4
aaron@kratos:~/base$ su -
Password:
root@kratos:~# useradd us
root@kratos:~# cd /home/aaron
root@kratos:/home/aaron# chown -R us.us base/
root@kratos:/home/aaron# ls -l base/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 us us 0 Nov 4 01:59 base1
-rw-r--r-- 1 us us 0 Nov 4 01:59 base2
-rw-r--r-- 1 us us 0 Nov 4 01:59 base3
-rw-r--r-- 1 us us 0 Nov 4 01:59 base4
Now that’s pretty good! Anyone who even remotely claims to be a geek better get the reference to that joke.

Are your base(s) are belong to us
It wasn’t until I saw Artir’s comment that I got it. It’s a bit too subtle — I thought it was something to do with baseball.
groan…
i thought you were going somewhere else, instructive, so i was paying attention.:P
That’s horrible!
That meme stopped being funny years ago. The current one is LOLcats, although they’re starting to lose stock.
Remember kids, obsolete cultural references show your age!

Saborlas I love you, but we’ve only got fourteen hours to save the Earth!
man, I really do roxxorz teh soxxorz
Saborlas, that meme never got old
I still laugh every time I see it or a reference to it. LOLCATS will always be funny too. Thanks for the laugh Aaron!
Yarr. Still a funny joke, made me giggle on teh inside.
LOL
FYI, in Iran, we don’t have bases.
chown user.group works?
Interesting, I always used user:group.
Good to know, and ultimately irrelevant :P.
FWIW, I got the joke the second I saw the “screenshot”. (By which I mean the ascii duplication output, which doesn’t sound nearly as cool.)
Pfft… funny, I got it. Thanks for the joke. Now to look like an idiot and explain it to my wife.
I still don’t get it
All your base *never* stops being funny. It’s gone beyond old to oldschool, and now is beyond reproach.
