The real history behind the Lunix operating system

Fijxu@programming.dev to Programmer Humor@programming.dev – 58 points –

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the 'mp3' program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as 'telnet', which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

As much as I enjoy satire, there are people that will cite this and believe it

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Xenix/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Xenix plus Linux..... etc

It's not satire! Torovoltos used telnet to hack into my iPhone and instal an mp3 virus known as Songs of Innocence

If my cyberpunk 2020 players ever steal a doohickey that sends them to an alternate dimension, it will be this one.

In case you want to fact check this post, I highly recommend Glyn Moody’s Rebel Code. It’s a nice, fast read and covers all sorts of cool shit. I’d love to see a sequel covering newer events.

(Edit: OP is facetious; mine is only facetious in that it references OP)
