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 done- wvstolzing ( @walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml ) 16•10 months ago
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!- CmdrKeen ( @CmdrKeen@lemmy.today ) 7•10 months ago
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 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
- PhobosAnomaly ( @PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk ) 6•10 months ago
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!
- dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 3•10 months ago
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.

Another mirror has the original comments. They’re exactly what you’d expect from 2001.
- d3Xt3r ( @d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz ) 6•10 months ago
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.
- dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 6•10 months ago
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.
- d3Xt3r ( @d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz ) 4•10 months ago
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
- Grimpen ( @Grimpen@lemmy.ca ) 2•10 months ago
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.
- Strit ( @Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show ) 41•10 months ago
It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
- soupcat ( @soupcat@sopuli.xyz ) 11•10 months ago
I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn’t realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.
I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I’d done wrong 😂.
Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

We’ll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux

I’m not installing this… Scary. Will wait for 6.6.7 in a few days. :)

Lol, I really thought that this is satirical 😂 but now it seems so real, I’m confused.
- Grimpen ( @Grimpen@lemmy.ca ) 2•10 months ago
It kind of makes sense. First I’ve ever heard about Ubuntu Christian Edition as well, but it seems to mostly be set up with filtering in mind, with the DNS tools and such. Add in productivity software aimed at preaching I guess, and you have a “safe” OS for kids and the laptop hooked up to the projector at a church.

Wait, crap! I’m already on 6.7.0-rc4 v.v Not gonna accept a lower number just to hail Satan a little extra 🤷♀️
Besides, 6.7 might have something neat in it. I’m not weird, you’re weird!

SATAN’s popularity diminished after the 1990s.
