    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

            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

    Yay, happy hail Satan day everyone. I remember when Intel chickened out and rounded up their 666 megahertz pentium 3 processors to report as being 667 megahertz. Absolute cowards, no wonder China is kicking their ass.

            I don’t give a flying fuck about anything NT. They have more changes to that book than there are letters in it.

            Don’t get me wrong, I don’t take the OT with any literality either but at least they didn’t make edits like that so there really is some attribution that can be handed to the writers back in the day. Notably, that they actually wrote that. I don’t really go any further than that though.

            Do you know how we have knowledge of that level of accuracy in what we can read today?

            Also, that, because I do have zero belief in anything, ever. That’s like paying donating to a guy to rape your kids. Literally.

      How about just fork it, remove all previous tags and commits, then form a cult around the repo.

      They say if you compile it at midnight the caves in Russia that are said to emanate the sound of hell starts sounding like a 56k modem.
