    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

    Can’t wait for someone extremely religious question if they should update to this cursed version.

            Man I’ve seen derivatives of this stuff, but this must be the OG post - thanks for that!

            I thought the whole Lunix thing came from the elite hacker JEFF.K!!!11 so I’m chuffed there’s another level to this!

              It’s funny because the first time I read it, I thought it was serious and was just written by a tech-illiterate parent. Saying that Comet Cursor and Bonzi Buddy are hacker software kinda gives away that it’s just satire though.

              oh I guess that’s also something that younger people may not know about… In the late 1990s / early 2000s, it wasn’t uncommon for people to install spyware to get things like custom mouse cursors, emoticons, and purple gorillas that help you navigate the web.

            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

                  Ubuntu was the distribution that had me switch from dual-booting with Windows as default to dual-booting with Linux as default.

                  I also remember ordering an actual Ubuntu disc, with the extra donation to fund the mailing for free program.

                  Now years later after lots of distro-hopping I just run Ubuntu LTS, and stay on the very boring LTS branch.

    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.

      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.
