Its kernel offers a 16 KiB (8K word) user core and is capable of executing UNIX V2 (0407) a.out formatted executables; however, none of the V2 syscalls are supported. It is the earliest surviving version of UNIX in machine-readable form.</p><p>It comes from the "s1" and "s2" tapes given to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@DoctorWkt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>DoctorWkt</span></a></span> by Dennis Ritchie in 1997.

Erik L. Midtsveen 🏴🏳️‍🌈<p>Oh, also, forgot to mention that today at work, the machine we use to clock in and out decided to spend hours installing countless Windows 11 updates. It runs a bloated version of 11 on a touchscreen display, all just to let us scan our cards to clock in or out. That’s literally all it does, no extra features, no added functionality, just a glorified card reader held hostage by unnecessary updates.</p><p>Why can’t systems like this run Linux? If it did, we wouldn’t have to deal with endless update loops or bloated software. A lightweight Linux distro would handle this task effortlessly, without wasting time or resources. Instead, we’re stuck waiting for Windows to finish its nonsense while productivity takes a back seat.</p><p>At least this happened around lunchtime, so it didn’t completely derail the day. Still, it’s frustrating how much time gets wasted on systems that are overcomplicated for no reason. A little open-source thinking could save everyone the headache.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unix</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arch</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/NFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NFC</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/WorkIssues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkIssues</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Work</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a></p>
