Of course it’s running Linux. They’re trying not to get hacked.
Holy shit. That’s fucking ridiculous.
$175 hold for up to 72 hours? Fuck that shit right out of here.
It’s to curb gas theft. They’re making sure you can fill the RV before you fill the RV.
It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore.
That’s normal. Although here it’s usually £100. Which is good because my card caps out at £100 daily
sudo give me free gas
linux community just got banned from fuckcars 😔
Is that Linux?
It doesn’t look like the normal boot log for Linux (or FreeBSD), so I’m not sure what it is either.
Probably some sort of embedded system
You know, every time I see something like this, I wonder how many government endpoints are Windows-based. This sends a shiver down my spine.
APT GET INSTALL FREE GAS
Can a gas pump…
run doom?
Ok, now I’m wondering how common this is. I’ve ran into this a few times at my local gas station the past month and when I asked about it they said it’s been doing it a bunch lately. Would be interesting if we find out there’s some sort of malware attack on gas station pumps, would be an easy way to shut down an area remotely to cause panic.
Hard to say but generally Linux are more secure, 9 out of 10 times they’d have to be fucking with it from inside the company. More likely some kind of hardware fault causing them to reboot more often.

Veeder Root boot splash is premium drip.
How “premium drip” of are we talking?
Grub is timeless design
Gas station Linux killed my parents.
