I propose Advent of Outage: just pull a random plug in the server room every day.

    How about something like

        while [1]; do kill -9 $((rnd * 100000)); sleep 5; end
    
    Probably needs some external tool for the rnd function.

    On a serious note, I just saw this: https://linuxupskillchallenge.org

      Bash has a built-in RANDOM.

        while true; do 
          kill -9 $RANDOM
          sleep 5
        done
      
      Or to kill running running PIDs each time

        while true; do 
          rnd=$(ps -e -o pid= | shuf -n 1)
          kill -9 $rnd
          sleep 5
        done

      That's hardly an "upskill" imo. You would know almost all of it by running a linux server for a month or two

I haven't set up an advent event (maybe I should) but you can do yourself a challenge a day from SadServers.com
