minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•9 days agoI think it was some XMPP related server I ran quite a few years ago which had ‘i_have_read_the_manual = 0’ or something similar buried into default configuration file. And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly. Maybe we need more things like that.
