Now to figure out how the frig to implement this at $work.
- enasterosophes 3y agoSince we're a puppet shop, the user account definitions are largely (albeit not exclusively) kept in hiera (i.e. yaml), tracked in Git. We haven't used this for the purpose of writing epitaphs, but we could. In fact, since such changes need to go through code review, someone could theoretically author their own removal and add an epitaph of their choice in the commit message; after they leave, the change can be approved and merged in their absence.
- bigiain 3y agoHeh. Now I want to sneak in a CI automation or a pre commit hook or something - to post _my_ version of my obituary when I've left.

- bigiain 3y agoAhhh thanks! Of _course_ the right place to do this is hidden in the compiler. ;-)
- jacquesm 3y agoI wonder how long it would take them to figure it out. Bonus point if it is a two stage, where the compiler contains the real logic but some innocent tool looks like it is the culprit. And of course per the original you modify the compiler in such a way that an attempt to recompile it will reinstall the gimmick. And maybe redirect the distribution downloader to the point that it uses a locally cached devtools copy that ... you get the idea...
