Reminds me of the article on HN some months ago where someone got a form of Lunix running on the controller SoC within a hard drive. Incredible what power is being packed into other devices, these days.

That's the one I was thinking of!



Satirical news/blog stories are my favorite part of the old internet. Really with they would have a comeback. The long form written humor is a lot more fun to me than something like Twitter.


This feels like a rabbit hole, my my.


Why lunix? I assume you mean Linux, I've seen it written this way a few times and am wondering where it comes from



Typo, nothing more nothing less.
