            Oh, come on, you're not letting him tinker with the Raspberry Pi. Better get a 2nd sdcard with a backup system, so he can experiment.

              @de_jean125 @mitu If my dad once would tell me about ...

              "Son, there is a hidden terminal in ES if you press F4."
              Then I would answer: "Dad... you are a nerd"

                    That's why i also use the triggers.
                    Made config files for all the letters in the alphabet, when he wants to start typing a command, the pi performs a shutdown.

                    Pi is only accessible with one ip, using host.allow config and ssh.
                    Gave it also a static ip in the 10.x.x.x range.

                        @de_jean125 Something like that, yes. :)

                        My first guess was that it was for your kid(s), by the way.

                        You could even let it get nastier … "Stop or I'll hack into your bank account and send all of your money to homes for retired game programmers!"
