One of my absolute favorite features of the game "Hacknet" was finding these logs in various filesystems you hack into. Such a nice touch.

I made it a personal mission to copy them to myself before exiting the target. I distinctly remember the one about "duck stand-up comedy" too lol.

Keep calm and wipe the logs. :)
