OK now I have to escape to really smart assery and assume that’s what I meant the whole time ;)

Edit code 2 describes something that went wrong - but that something telling you that it went wrong was the tar binary which therefor most have been valid to evaluate that!

Under no circumstances did I assume that the hint towards help itself would’ve been an exit code 0, no sir!

To be honest: if I’d designed that bomb it would’ve exploded in my face for trying to be too clever.

Done. That’s a valid command, no error code, nothing. KISS!

That point doesn’t matter in these jurisdictions (i.e. Western European ones I am aware of) . Confinement has two reasons and two only: rehabilitation and protection of the public. Revenge doesn’t have a place there. In my opinion rightfully so because the need for revenge is utterly subjective which laws need to avoid.

For example: I would see it as appropriate to nail this bastard on a wall by his balls. BUT I’m aware that this is mainly due to the publicity he got. How would I standardize ball nailing? How much would a shoplifter get? 1/4 of a testicle for half a day? And what would be the equivalent to criminals without scrotum?

But jokes aside: revenge can’t take place via public court. And I’m not informed about civil court mechanics in Norway.

Bonus: human rights apply to every single human. Each of them. And you can’t lose them. If that’s a good idea I’ll leave to each one to decide.
