Simple age check for Linux:
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 addr they deserve to be restricted from their computer

@lproven I don't know. The ip command has been the standard for at least a decade. Doesn't even come standard on many Linux based OS's. Might instead think of the ifconfig user, "This person learned this tool 20 years ago and then decided they were an expert and never adapted."
I'm over 50 and have been using Linux based OS's for over 25 years. So yeah, still too young but I'll just run you over, old man because I don't give a fuck about your stupid rules.

@lproven I can literally never remember βip addrβ, but βifconfigβ is about as baked into my muscle memory as breathing

@lproven ah damn I spent so much time retraining myself to use ip a

Maybe youβve hit on a thing there.

I reckon I could dig out a Demon Internet statement, pre-Scottish Telcom/Thus days.@guardeddon I remember when the idea of Demon was being discussed in cix:tenner_a_month.

The proper way to handle this under Linux is to wipe the current installation, and to replace it by a distro free from that "verification" crap.

@lproven
I don't know. The RT might certainly have been triggered by the age verification discussion.Anyway, I started with ifconfig and now use the more modern ip a. The argument in the joke doesn't really work for people who stay up to date.

@lproven I trained myself to use ip and its subcommands years ago because they give you access to all the cool networking stuff you can do with linux that people stuck with ifconfig probably don't even know exists... but ss for netstat, that one I truly can't force myself to use

@_hic_haec_hoc @lproven OK, now you've gotten me curious, what can ip do that we couldn't before systemd decided to fuck with the basic principals?

@lproven I've found myself typing
dig +short ip @dns.toys
does this mean I'm banned from polite society ?
