Yeah, you might be able to DOS my Raspberry Pi. Maybe you could break out

That could cost me like literally dozens of cents worth of power.
I suppose I should be a little concerned that once you've broken out of the
simulation into the Pi, then you are on a machine which has access to the
rest of my network. In which case, assuming you can exploit a remote
vulnerability (or crack a credential), then, yeah, you could indeed
somewhat inconvenience me.
Well, here's hoping that there is lower-hanging fruit with more compute
power out there. I suspect there is.

Thanks for the chortle in the AM here in IA. My apologies for not
sending a note of appreciation last night. I immediately logged into
Unix v7 as dmr and played around for a bit. (no idea how to break out
of the spell command without any arguments, but that's my bad). I'm a
CISO equivalent in my day job, and I didn't see any issue with your
initial email.
