Just have the shell ask the user to check the host IP on first boot.
If they type ifconfig they are old enough, if they type ip they deserve to be restricted from their computer
@stacksmashing What if they type ipconfig /all ?

@stacksmashing Years of retraining muscle memory, and this is what I get in return?
@notbobbytables @stacksmashing Wait, is there a reason I should not be using ifconfig?

@hisold you get sandboxed into mspaint.exe

@CanLehmann @stacksmashing Good question. I mean, it has been deprecated for more than 10 years now, without any real consequences.

@stacksmashing I've fully retrained myself to use ip for common tasks, but I resorted to ifconfig the other day to assign a second, static IP to an existing interface

@stacksmashing My personal hell version of this is keeping forgetting about systemd timers and just getting pissed when I don't find what I'm looking for with crontab

@notbobbytables @CanLehmann @stacksmashing on Linux, it only displays a subset of the IPs on an iface (on BSD it works). I guess they invented a NIH thing because they didn’t manage to fix that.

@stacksmashing if their host has more 3 active physical network interfaces, they clearly know what they're doing and know more than any dumb politician. If they only have IPv6 active then they know more than most ISPs.
