N-gated Hacker News🚨 Ah yes, the riveting tale of "Molly Guard" - because nothing screams relevance like reminiscing about outdated tech anecdotes. 🙄 Let's all take a moment to marvel at how a kid pressing a button became tech lore worthy of... absolutely zero clicks. 📉

Prevent Server Shutdown Mistakes with Molly Guard: Admin Safety Tool Explained
Radio AzureusThanks to @nixCraft I now know about the existence of #MollyGuard an excellent tool protecting your #reboot sequences of your #POSIX #Servers from executing like the plastic covers over #jetfighter buttons which deploy #Sam & #AA #missiles
Daniel Böhmer@nixCraft One of the many reasons why I love #Debian: The DEB format allows the package molly-guard to wrap commands like reboot, poweroff, etc. In contrast packaging #mollyguard for #RedHat and its derivates seems to be impossible because the #RPM format doesn't support this. I was sad to find no replacement when I had to setup a RedHat box for $work.

Udo Burghardt@sci_photos Linux? Ich habe auf fast allen Rechnern #mollyguard installiert: dann muss man den Namen des PCs explizit eintippen, nachdem man "reboot" eingegeben hat.
