Six Six Six, The kernel of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be releasedBoards blazed and reviewed codes were praised
As they start to try, hands held to the sky
In the night, the coffee is burning hot
The commit has begun, Linus work is doneThis can’t go on, I must inform the Hurd,
Can this monolith be real, or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the GPL-2,
Seem to mesmerize, can’t avoid Tivoization!I’m coming back, I will return
And I’ll possess your daemons and make your CPU burn
I have ring 0, I have your cores
I have the power to make my evil take its course
We need a petition to make this LTS.
Long Term Satan?
Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.
“to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero”
… I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
It’s an old meme but it checks out. Older than some of the people in this community haha
For anyone that hasn’t seen it, it’s a reference to this satirical article from 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20030128011354/http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html
If you see the word “LILO” during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix.
Wow, that’s a blast from the past! Completely forgot that LILO used to be a thing.
I remember dealing with migrating from LILO to GRUB when I was in high school, maybe 2005ish? It’s been a while. I remember the migration from ipchains to iptables, too (which is happening again now with the iptables to nftables migration)
I used Ubuntu at the time… It was a great distro back then. I only had dial-up so couldn’t download large files easily, and Canonical or one of their local partners would mail you a CD for free regardless of where you lived in the world. I think that helped a LOT of people get into Linux.
Similar experiences here. I remember waiting for the free CDs bundles with monthly magzines, and add then I’d the CD as a mirror in my repos to update my packages lol
