Its Linux, everything is a file, this means your uptime is also stored in some (possibly ghost file) that you can access through the filesystem and change it

By ghost file do you mean something in /tmp? Also that seems fun, where can I find that file?

@muhyb I don't know what a ghost file would be but you're probably looking for /proc/uptime. Which you can read but obviously not write to.

Oh, I guess they implied I edited that file. Also I checked /proc/uptime and indeed it is read-only. Thanks for the info.
