Show HN: Kgotobed: Kernel module that forces you to go to sleep (github.com) 4 points by nikital 8y ago ↗ HN
[–] captn3m0 8y ago ↗ Are you using this daily? Just want to know if there are any gotchas I might need to check before I start using it. [–] nikital 8y ago ↗ I used the kernel module for a few days and didn't notice any problems on a laptop running Fedora.The kernel module is less that 100 lines long, hopefully it's simple enough to not cause trouble...

[–] O_H_E 8y ago ↗ May I ask, how is it possible to prevent unloading the module? [–] nikital 8y ago ↗ The module takes an extra reference count to itself upon initialization and never decrements it, so rmmod will fail because the module will be "in use". [–] O_H_E 8y ago ↗ Nice ;)
