A Death Threat From A Puppy Linux Supporter

Filed under
Linux

I’ve just been informed by e-mail that not only are some defenders of Puppy Linux flaming me on the new DistroWatch Weekly comments but one actually issued a death threat against me for being “negative” about his or her favorite distribution.

If you’re curious about the threat see post #90 on DistroWatch Weekly’s comments. I have not responded there and I will not. I also won’t back down or be intimidated and I stand behind my previous post.

re: Puppy

Microsoft in their wildest dreams couldn't come up with better anti-Linux PR then the so called Linux supporters (aka drooling fanboys) provide all by themselves - and for free no less.

It's just sooooooo hard to understand why the business suits aren't flocking to Linux.

strange people

I've always thought there's something weird about animal lovers, Linux users and residents of the U.S.A.

Bloody Ockers

Wake up people! The threat from Puppy Linux is real.

Consider the evidence:
1.) It's fans are rabid.
2.) It comes from a nation that distributes a mind-altering chemicals worldwide (Fosters).
3.) It loads itself into memory like a virus.

The other day, my neighbor's chihuahua, foaming at the mouth, lunged at me. Safe in my apartment, I began to wonder, perhaps there is something to these
charges against Puppy Linux after all, so I did an investigation of its creator, Barry Kauler. What did I find?

That this linux is in fact the first step towards Aussie world domination. Look at the picture at the top of this page:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/AboutPuppy/

What do you see over the BLOOD-RED word "PUPPY" (sounds innocent doesn't it?)? A chihuhua with a poppy flower in its mouth. This raises some questions:

A.) What is an outbacker doing with Mexican dogs in the first place?
answer 1: He is training an army of attack dogs in a remote desert region, they have to come from a similar locale, the desert, to survive.
answer 2: He can easily have this army of Mexican dogs "emigrate" into the U.S. under the nose of immigration officials unnoticed. Clever, eh?

B.) Why is the dog wearing a military hat?
answer: It is a diabolical downunder deed, a plot to take over North America, starting with promoting Linux, an operating system known to confuse and intimidate
the unsuspecting, innocent Windows users who were minding their own business when this upstart creates mayhem.

C.) Why does the dog have a poppy flower in it's mouth?
answer: It is well known that Tasmania is one of the world's leading producers of Opium poppies. Kauler is obviously drugging him to make him take ANY orders
on command, no matter how viscious.

I have received word from others who are watching the Puppy Linux trend that Kauler is also the master-mind of the Roo Virus. It hops from computer to computer
and unleashes a pouch-full of evil outback code. We have only one message to Barry Kauler: just drink your bloody stubbies, watch footie, and leave the rest of us alone!

Linux Unleashed, indeed!

You're on to something

(Or you're on something?) Serially, how many dog owners have you heard say "Don't worry, he / she [never 'it'] won't bite." Then it does. The image of an innocent, lovable (?) puppy is definitely a cover for something sinister.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
