I really wish this artist would just use a legible font in the speech bubbles. I like the art style of this comic but I skip it pretty much every time because the font is painful to try to read

I’m glad it’s not just me! I feel like I’m giving myself a headache reading it

I was about to write something like your comment.

I literally can't read this font. I'm gonna need a transcript to know what that third panel says.

Gonna try me best, anyone who know what it's trying to say can correct me

Sooo... A Cronjob for "git prune" to Honour Holy Barbs on December 4th?

Cronjob? Cronsob? Crondom? Tbh i dont know what it means even if spelled correctly...

a cronjob (from chronos meaning time) is an automated task that occurs when the system clock hits a date and time

they are kept in a crontab (cron table) and are written with a number representing minute-hour-monthday-month-weekday-command

e.g.

 45 23 * * 6 echo hello world

would run at the 45th minute of the 23rd hour of the 6th weekday (11:45pm on a Saturday) and print "hello world" to the console

it was invented in 1970 for Unix systems (like Jurassic Parks hacking scene), and is still in use today in most servers*

*don't come after me with specifics, trying to ELI5 here.

Considering the cron time format is accepted in more than just runners like cron/anacron, I'd say your answer is reasonable (plus this is comics). No pitchforks here :)

Maybe start your own shitcoin to mine as she’s also the patron saint of miners
