My immediate thought is a cron job that tests the user account’s last login time and fires a script if it is exceeded.

You can use basically any HTTP server to achieve that, like Apache or Nginx. If the directory (specified by the path in the URL) doesn’t contain a file that matches the default file in the config (index.html and such), the server will list the directory contents instead.

His right wing is also resting by his side (just hidden behind his foot) and the five-fingered arm is growing out of his shoulder. Someone should notify the analog horror community, there’s some fertile ground here.

chroot was introduced in 1979 for Unix. arch-chroot is a wrapper around chroot that provides additional functionality and a tighter integration between the system and the new root.

Oh, you use pacstrap and arch-chroot, do you? Back in my day all we had was cp and install and we liked it that way! Kids these days wouldn’t know how to install SLS without their Yays and Pac-men.

The reason is that we want it to fail. My original comment was more emotive than descriptive. The system is horribly designed and a fucking menace on the best day, so short of direct sabotage, we’re doing what we can to force the bossmang to replace it.

It’s surprisingly easy to get from the main hall to the server room. There are two doors between the entry hall and the server room, one can be bypassed by yanking it real hard, and that gives access to the breaker box for the electromagnets among others. The building is not particularly well-designed.

One of our servers is a rotting carcass being kept alive by our collective prayers. It runs Windows 7 and custom software whose developer is dead and the source is missing, nothing has been updated for over a decade, and it has its own independent UPS because once it goes down, it has an extremely slim chance of recovering, and we’re afraid to test it. It controls the card entry system into the building, including the server room. Boss doesn’t want to replace it because we’d have to replace all of the terminals and controllers too, and it hasn’t catastrophically failed yet.

You’re right. It’s not a pet. It’s like one of the Saw movies: if it dies, we’re all fucked.

Extrapolate from the context. I’m tired of explaining obvious things to unreceptive people.

The discourse goes to the same fucking place every time Felix is mentioned. People don’t deserve the benefit of doubt.

I seriously doubt that anyone who asks that question doesn’t already have a foregone conclusion, but fine, I’ll indulge you.

Probably not. If he was, and had been hiding it his entire life, even in the era when he was the youtube star and had zero restraint, why would he slip up those few times, and especially such highly public ways?

He did and said some shit in his early 20s, and he deserved the criticism at the time, but those incidents weren’t repeated and weren’t part of a pattern. He wasn’t the paragon of virtue and maturity, but I’m willing to bet my left nut that neither are the people who are lining up to crucify him, and the only difference is that he had an audience. The people who aren’t willing to let go of their prejudices after a decade are equally as immature.

Do you want to continue posturing and fishing for confirmation from other edgy teenage minds, or do you want the answer?

I’m sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.

I love that entrepreneurial attitude. If an online service is unsatisfactory, just develop your own software from the ground up and provision the infrastructure from your pocket. Car industry sucks? Just build your own car! GPU prices high? Grab a soldering iron and a handful of sand, how hard could it be?

Things are always more complex than they appear. The whole point of services like Youtube and Patreon is to offload that complexity onto the provider in exchange for a fee (or some other form of compensation) from the user. Just look at how many early Lemmy instances have gone offline because of the overwhelming financial or administrative burden. Hate the companies all you like, and by all means look for independent solutions, but don’t pretend they offer no value whatsoever.

The entire “non-ideological” thing is just him not wanting to be challenged for being a shitter.

One day the Year of the Linux Desktop will arrive.

And some people will want to pound the ecosystem back into the 80s because their obsolete, bug-ridden pile of technical debt isn’t the most popular (insert system component here) in the world, and the best alternative has some issues.

Is | (...) | { ... } a lambda expression then?
