I use concepts of games I like. Right now Alan Wake and Pacific Drive are the two of them.
But when I started to be more interested in networking and installed openwrt on my router, I was more infatuated by Pacific Drive:
Earth is and always has been the giant beaker of chemicals that has one of those magnetic stirrers in it, thanks to the moon.
I am no expert. But I think there is an ‘easier’ way too manage this with an overlay filesystem.
Have an immutable base with all permissions set. When a session is started have it be done in an in-memory overlay. On logout drop the overlay.
This might be easier if you don’t want to rely on cronjobs. But as I have no experience myself setting this up… ‘easier’ should be taken with a grain of salt. I just took inspiration from docker.
A yo mama joke that only works with this context:
Yo momma’s ass so fat, no hurricane dares to cross her ass crack.
