Six Six Six, The kernel of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Boards 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 done

This 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

No, because he has already sent the beast with wrath.
— because he knows the time is short.

In any case, let him who have understanding
reckon the kernel of the beast;
for it is a human number;
not a semver number. So don’t worry about it. \

yieeeeeeaaaaaaaahhh

… 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

Linux

Create post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
