Grab your Raspberry Pi, everyone — we’re going on an Easter egg hunt, and all of you are invited!
When they’re not chocolate, Easter eggs are hidden content in movies, games, DVD menus, and computers. So open a terminal window and try the following:
1. A little attitude
Type aptitude moo into the terminal window and press Enter. Now type aptitude -v moo. Keep adding v’s, like this: aptitude -vv moo
2. Party
Addicted to memes? Type curl parrot.live into your window!
3. In a galaxy far, far away…
You’ll need to install telnet for this one: start by typing sudo apt-get install telnet into the terminal. Once it’s installed, enter telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
4. Pinout
Type pinout into the window to see a handy GPIO pinout diagram for your Pi. Ideal for physical digital making projects!
5. Demo programs
Easter egg-ish: you can try out various demo programs on your Raspberry Pi, such as 1080p video playback and spinning teapots.
Any more?
There’s lots of fun to be had in the terminal of a Raspberry Pi. Do you know any other fun Easter eggs? Share them in the comments!
