Not bad, but one big criticism, never do a 'kill -9' first, that will stop the program from cleaning up after itself if killed using -9. Use one of these instead: -TERM then wait, if not -INT then wait, if not

Very interesting article, but remember, making a room more airy will not mitigate the long term effects of CO2 on the Earth. Older people may remember the push to make your house more energy efficient. So, seems you have a choice, higher e

I do not understand this rationing scheme. Say I live in Austria and it is a short ride to a Slovenia Station. Can buy as much gas as I want, but citizens in Slovenia are limited ? That does not seem right.
