I created an empty html file and made it world writeable. You can find it here:
cd /home/martijn/public_html/thepage/
and in your browser obviously:
https://tilde.club/~martijn/thepage/
All I am asking of you is to please edit that file and leave something there. A text, an image, a gif, a piece of javascript, an invisible html comment, a story, whatever. If you stumble upon something someone else did, you may rearange, enhance or add to it, as long as you do not remove it. If you find something offensive, please do remove it. Aside from that all standard ~ rules apply.
Still with me? Good! There's one more thing:
To prevent people overwriting eachothers edits, I’ve created a locking system.
Before you edit this file, please execute
ls -lt
in the thepage directory:
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 martijn club 0 Sep 20 10:38 index.html
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 martijn club 0 Sep 20 10:35 index.lock
If the output looks like the above, where index.html is above index.lock because it’s modification time was more recent, there is no lock on the file and you can proceed to lock it by touching the index.lock file.
touch index.lock
Now if you ls -lt that directory again:
ls -lt
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 martijn club 0 Sep 20 10:41 index.lock
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 martijn club 0 Sep 20 10:38 index.html
You’ll see that you have successfully placed a lock. You can proceed to edit index.html. Once you are done and you save your changes, the modification date of index.html will be updated and the lock will be lifted automagically.
If you find index.html to be locked, don’t touch it and wait for it to be released, unless the lock is more than 20 minutes old. In that case, by all means ravage whatever the person who locked you out for too long was trying to do.
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
