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
  
  omg hahaha this was amazing!
- feat: @tea_pot_tinhas@lemmy.eco.br
  
  Hehehehe

We need a petition to make this LTS.
- Long Term Satan?
  
  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

Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.
- "to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero"
  
  ... I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.

FreeBSD is now obsolete

Daemons Unleashed

Can't wait for someone extremely religious question if they should update to this cursed version.
- Time to make the switch to TempleOS.
- "Trinity Desktop will not function on this version of Linux"
- We'll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux

It's a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
- I mean, wifi drivers have to be made from demonic arts.
  
  As printers
- Yeah, metal as fuck WiFi regressions!
  
  6.6.5 has been a massive pain in the ass with the MTK wifi in my asus g14. very happy this got released quickly, no more deadlocks!
- 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.
- My friend has been complaining about this! Glad to see it fixed

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.
- Iirc it's a thing for hotels to not have a room number 13.
  
  And that there is no version 9: no windows 9 no iPhone 9 etc. I think it’s s unlucky number somewhere in Asia
  
  In Japan it is number 4 because sound like their word for death (something among those lines)

I'm not installing this... Scary. Will wait for 6.6.7 in a few days. :)
- I'm not gonna update to any other kernel
- the kernel that lives across the street
  
  Neighbor of the beast.

The kernel I didn’t even know I needed
- lol

Tell me why I should upgrade from my Linux 4.20 kernel
- CVE-2020-25220

Ubuntu Satanic Edition's favourite kernel.
- And blacklisted by Ubuntu Christian Edition.
  
  Lol, I really thought that this is satirical 😂 but now it seems so real, I’m confused.
  
  Amen

Is it time to start shit posting on myfacespace about the satanic computers running the world already?

Finally, our time has come

"The number of the beast!!"
- The kernel of the Fix!

m/

If this post gets 666 upvotes hell will definitely break loose lol
- ~~I..~~ We did it.Got the 666th.. ground rumbles, and ruptures bringing forth the second comming of the year of the linux desktop

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!
_... _I _use _Arch _and/or _Gentoo _bytheway <.<

  Right!?
- Absolute classic!
- yyyyYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!

does this mean steve ballmer was right?
- Oh wow I didn't realize he repeated 'developers, developers, ...' 666 times on that event.

I CAN FINALLY GO TO HELL! 🔥

🤘🏻
- THWIP

now we can merge the bsd source tree

"It's all for you daemon!"

🤘LETS GOOOOO🤘

Does it come with vi (vi vi)?

Proof that the Linux kernel is the Debil!
- pacman -Sy base-devil ‼️‼️
  
  yay devil 😈
  Edit: For those who don't use Arch _bytheway, yay is an "AUR helper:" basically a frontend for our package manager that adds support for building packages from source.

And here's a customary video of metalhead nerds celebrating.

There's a song 6.66 (1/100th of the number of the beast)
But nothing for 6.6.6
- Iron Maiden would like to have a word with you

Going to lock this version with versionlock and keep it permanently
- 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.

The end times have arrived.

None of you read Hebrew. Wrong Number.
- What's the right one?
  
  616
