Fi 🏳️⚧️POSIX does not have a meaningful way to differentiate between an account used by a human and an account used by a daemon or service; the spec does not include this because nobody with half a brain thinks that this is remotely a suitable idea.
Varx@munin I dunno... The idea of only authorizing daemons that have 18yrs of continuous uptime without crashing sounds pretty tempting now a days....
That indicates that the system has not been taken down for proper maintenance for well beyond an appropriate time period, and kernel patches have not been applied.
I know you're being facetious, but godsdamn that workflow is quite thoroughly noncompliant and would actively piss me off if I saw it IRL.
@munin oh no... This joke just lead me down a new thought.... There's not a carve out for things like FreeRTOS or custom yocto builds is there? So like... Any medical device or other OT that lets a user create an account and connects to the internet needs to ask and report their age too? Looool what a cluster.
