For
Systems programmers practicing crash consistency
Worth noticing
The named exercises include lease fencing, bounded retention under disk pressure, and idempotent boot.

Field notes

The public page supplies an SSH host, port, starter account, and connection instructions, so participants do not need a separate signup on the page. Inside, each level has a verifier at a stated path, and passing it reveals the next password. The exercises move through atomic file replacement, durable writes, lease fencing, disk-full handling, and restart idempotency. The page says the host is sacrificial, rebuilds in minutes, and blocks outbound networking.
