Open Me Daily (Telemetry Trap)
A background telemetry application that monitors its own execution frequency and penalizes user inactivity by artificially bloating disk space.
Why I built it
Developed as an experimental concept to test behavioral enforcement via software. I wanted to see how a program could track user engagement over time and autonomously trigger a 'punishment' mechanism (disk bloating) if specific conditions weren't met.
Architecture & decisions
Written in C++, the program acts as a lightweight daemon. It interfaces with a local SQLite database (log.db) to record timestamps, boot counts, and authentication flags. If the expected passphrase ('ben buradayım ve mutluyum') is missing for a given day, the software initiates a controlled, high-speed disk write loop to fill storage space.
Key features
- 01Persistent SQLite telemetry logging
- 02Conditional passphrase validation
- 03Autonomous disk-fill (I/O stress) mechanism
