Epitaph for Slackware ARM 14.2 builder


In one of the next vlogs, Slackware ARM 14.2 will be 'sunsetted', or end-of-lifed. Pick your visual.

I will be powering down the last remaining 'soft float' build machine, with a shut down message that will stand as its epitaph. Example:

Code:
 shutdown -k now "$(uptime) since last spawn, and now it's game over. You did good, kid"

Broadcast message from root@zaden-142 (pts/1) (Fri Mar 31 21:29:29 2023):

 21:29:29 up 408 days,  9:42,  3 users,  load average: 0.21, 0.16, 0.14 since last spawn, but now it's game over. You did good, kid
The system is going down to maintenance mode NOW!
I'll pick the one I like the most.

There is a limit to the size of the message, so I'll let you experiment on your own machine if you're up for it.

I'll be doing the video in a few days, so not much time!

Btw this wasn't an April fool. This is a bona fide chance to have your epitaph of the last remaining Slackware ARM 14.2 build host! ;-)

it's still kind of sad when you decommission an trusty old friend 6_6
