I’m moving my posts from Reddit to Lemmy before delete them.

Your system has been up for a full year, I don’t know to be amazed or shocked.
It’s a pi-hole server so maybe neither? :)
Its Linux, everything is a file, this means your uptime is also stored in some (possibly ghost file) that you can access through the filesystem and change it
By ghost file do you mean something in /tmp? Also that seems fun, where can I find that file?
@muhyb I don’t know what a ghost file would be but you’re probably looking for /proc/uptime. Which you can read but obviously not write to.
@cy_narratorOh, I guess they implied I edited that file. Also I checked /proc/uptime and indeed it is read-only. Thanks for the info.
Ooh
By ghost files I meant files inside /proc /sys /dev that does not exist when OS is not booted
