Given your username, I'm not convinced it's going to go to plan

Good point.

"Me writing a script that looks for my obituary, and when it finds it, sends memes from my account to my friends, until one of the random memes is a webp, python starts throwing errors in an infinite loop, it doesn't properly reset the timer because I had that inside the try block, and the whole system crashes from an error log file eating all the hard disk space 2 days later."

That's an easy fix. Just write a second script to erase the data in the error log file every now and then.

I have actually done this! Unfortunately I won’t get to enjoy it.

There’s also a couple other conditions that checks and if they match it sends out information that can be used to recover my data for those who need it.

Ah yes, a dead man's switch.

You need to upgrade buddy, you should send ~~LLM~~ gen-ML generated pictures of you traveling the world, or add yourself as a ghostly/cadaveric appearance in social media pictures of your relatives.

LLM - Large Language Model, so these pictures will be all ASCII

oh so that's who's in Paris

[–] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

Right, I wanted to avoid saying AI but didn't pick the right one, I am switch to gen-ML.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should write a script to find out how many local newspapers run obituaries. And if they do, I assume they are like what used to be the classified ads, so someone is paying for them.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, mine does. And there only needs to be the one for my script.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't help when they publish their pages as image files, like this one does.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That whole page is a meme itself.

Better than I expected, tbh.

The best pranks are the ones that people pull when they know they don't risk revenge

This sounds a little pro-suicide bomber

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would do that only have it send my wife random links from Aww, Funny, and Weird News.
