  • Business owner here, even if not a very good one. These kinds of CEOs exist, but there are far from the norm. And they usually act that way because the owners of the company expect them to lead that way. There is a crowd mechanic of many people owning some of the stock of a company. It leads to some psychopathy as nobody feels responsible and everybody wants to earn some extra Money. Look into a documentary called “cooperation”.

    Most business people, especially the more successful ones are the classic boys club people. They get good deals by being friends and knowing people that give them access. It leads to a culture where what you earn has more or less nothing to so with what or how good you work. If you know the show billions, watch it and look for the making of episodes. There is a lot of real world experience in the writing.













  • Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.

    Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.

    The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.

    I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.

    I was planning to package that and release it as open source.

    Still might do that.
