Pretend to be busy or waiting for your computer when you should actually be doing real work! Impress people with your insane multitasking skills. Just open a few instances of genact
and watch the show. genact
has multiple scenes that pretend to be doing something exciting or useful when in reality nothing is happening at all.
You don't have to install anything! For your convenience, prebuilt binaries for Linux, OSX and Windows are provided here that should run without any dependencies. Additionally, there is a web version at https://svenstaro.github.io/genact/
It's compatible with Linux, OSX, Windows 10 (it needs a recent Windows 10 to get ANSI support) and most modern web browsers that suppot WebAssembly.
On Linux: Download genact-linux
from the releases page and run
chmod +x genact-linux
./genact-linux
On OSX: Download genact-osx
from the releases page and run
chmod +x genact-osx
./genact-osx
On Windows: Download genact-win.exe
from the releases page and double click it.
With Cargo: If you have a somewhat recent version of Rust and Cargo installed, you can run
cargo install genact
To see a list of all available options, you can run
./genact -h
or
cargo run -- -h
or (on Docker)
docker run -it --rm svenstaro/genact -h
The help:
genact 0.2.3

A nonsense activity generator
USAGE:
genact [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-l, --list-modules List available modules
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-m, --modules <MODULE>... Run only these modules [values: bootlog, cargo, cryptomining, cc, download, memdump]
In the web version, you can run specific modules by providing them as ?module
parameters like this: https://svenstaro.github.io/genact?module=cc&module=memdump
You should have a recent version of rust and cargo installed. You don't need nightly. Then, just clone it like usual and cargo run
to get output:
git clone https://github.com/svenstaro/genact.git
cd genact
cargo run
If you want to add a cool module just implement it, lint it with clippy and make a pull request with a screenshot. I will probably accept it.
This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:
- Update versions in
README.md
,static/index.html
,Cargo.toml
. git commit
andgit tag -s
,git push
.cargo publish
- Releases will automatically be deployed by Travis.
