AWS Lambda function to kill old instances

A pure NodeJS function to kill select EC2 instances if they run longer than a defined period.

This is useful as a safety measure when using EC2 in CI and launching many instances.
A CI crash or user action could prevent proper cleanup, leaving expensive machines running forever (or until the next billing cycle when there is much screaming).

Instructions

Suitable for laptops that don't generate udev events when battery charge level changes (but do generate events when unplugged).

Uses MP3 files (use mine or make your own).
You can also change sound() to use a tone as in this example

Installation

Copy MP3 files to /usr/local/bin (or change the shell script)
Copy other files to the location specified at the top (change "CHANGE_TO_MY_USER" to the username you primarily use)

What this is

A collection of files to set up the following automation:

Activate on insert
Rip the DVD to a temporary path (eg /opt/dvd/tmp.XXXXX/NAME-FROM-DVD-ITSELF/VIDEO_TS)
Eject

Then a manual step:

Review directory names and rename as needed (a lot of DVD disk identifiers are useless)
run dvdencode, it will process all of the above to a new hierarchy, example filename: /opt/dvd/encoded/NAME-FROM-DVD-ITSELF/NAME-FROM-DVD-ITSELF-1-of-7.mp4

barracudavpn <-> systemd-resolve compatibilty script

Problem

My corporate Ubuntu laptop is set up with barracudavpn that doesn't understand systemd-resolve.
In its default configuration it simply overwrites /etc/resolv.conf, completely screwing up DNS on my local LAN (and non-work DNS).
