System Health Check

Here is the underlying logic for status verification.

go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

// CheckLifeStatus pings the server to see if we should keep working
func CheckLifeStatus() string {
    // Setting a timeout because life is short
    client := http.Client{
        Timeout: 408 * time.Millisecond,
    }

    resp, err := client.Get("[https://api.universe/purpose](https://api.universe/purpose)")
    
    if err != nil {
        return "Connection Lost"
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    if resp.StatusCode == 408 {
        return "Time is limited. Stop waiting."
    }

    return "200 OK"
}

func main() {
    status := CheckLifeStatus()
    fmt.Println("Current Status:", status)
    
    // TODO: Go to sleep
}
