- n3thin 13y agowow!
- sz4kerto 13y agoI know this isn't a very constructive comment, but WTF?
- captn3m0 13y agoHere is the original Linux announcement: http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/04/the-first-linux-announcement-from-linus-torvalds/ http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/04/the-first-linux-announc... Here's a diff between the two: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6504013/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/6504013/
- richbradshaw 13y agoThanks! I clearly can't tell the differences between and m and l, as I just assumed this was from 199!
- chris_wot 13y agoUm, what's this all about?
- fla 13y agoA new linux ?
- sjwright 13y agoPrepare yourselves for a heavy dose of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect
- effn 13y agoOr a github security vulnerability.
- 4mnt 13y agoCertainly a possibility. I couldn't find any references to linux-ng on the lkml or on https://git.kernel.org https://git.kernel.org
- phaker 13y agoAppears so, the page is already gone. Or maybe they stole linus' key? Anyone cloned the repository before it was deleted? If so, i think the repo could help in figuring out how it was done.
- zaph0d 13y agoIndeed it is an open security hole. See my other comment.
- Cengkaruk 13y agoWow! rewrite?
- pritambaral 13y agoI wonder if this has something to do with Linux 4.0. Even though it seems like Torvalds is starting a new project, he might as well be just teasing and later pull in the Linux 3.13-14 tree.
- nopaste7 13y agoLinus knows how to troll people :D
- nopaste7 13y agoTrolling sequence done.
- callesgg 13y agoNg for next generation I guess?
- pritambaral 13y ago-ng suffix is somewhat common in in the OSS world.
- wreegab 13y ago"Linux-ng" as in "Linux Next Generation"?
- pritambaral 13y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6827111 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6827111
- shangaslammi 13y agoOr perhaps "Not GNU".
- SideburnsOfDoom 13y agoOr "Linux written in Angular.js" Heh.
- stonewhite 13y ago"Linux in 30 lines of Angular.js" FTFY
- machty 13y agoIt's Linux, written entirely in Angular directives.
- anotherfadjs 13y agoHaha nice, this was my first thought as well!
- nailer 13y agoIs this a new kernel, or a new OS (yes, I'm aware the original Linux announcement called it a 'new OS'). Most of the things I dislike about 'Linux' are OS-level inconsistencies, particularly that most user-land tools implement their own config file formats rather than using an existing one. systemd is a notable exception, as it re-used the .desktop format for .service.
- embro 13y agoOnly a readme with the famous original Linux announcement... but MODIFIED!!!! Are we getting trolled?
- venomsnake 13y agoBenevolent account highjack imo.
- happywolf 13y agoWill a micro-kernel architecture make sense now, given computation resources is no longer a bottleneck?
- nullc 13y agoOh no, another free software project on github without software license. Good thing someone thought to fix it: https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng/pull/4 https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng/pull/4
- gbog 13y agoMaybe was just deleted: https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng gives me 404s now.
- Ashuu 13y agoYesh! Same here.
- samwilliams 13y agoIt appears to have been deleted at 13:28. I was browsing Linus's repositories at the time and it disappeared mid-load.
- tinco 13y agoAh man, I was just working on a pull request. Not that he accepts pull requests, he apparently hates them.. https://github.com/d-snp/linux-ng/commit/b71ef5e3b1caa61dac0bc86169db05ed99a2f142 https://github.com/d-snp/linux-ng/commit/b71ef5e3b1caa61dac0... edit: I accept PR's though, let's make a big list of likes/dislikes and slap him with it ;)
- masklinn 13y ago> Not that he accepts pull requests Of course he does. He does not accept github pull requests, for reasons he's explained at length in, amongst others, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- girvo 13y agoHuh? I get a 404 and can't seem to google anything interesting...
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- zakelfassi 13y agoThe repo has been deleted. (for late comers, it contained a README with the original Linux announcement.)
- 4mnt 13y agoNot completely. s/minix/linux/ on the original announcement
- namarkiv 13y agoHi, this is a small security issue I found. I have already reported this to github.
- girvo 13y agoOh true. What kind of issue, XSS or something else? (just generically, not specifics)
- namarkiv 13y agoNot XSS. I will disclose more once it is fixed.
- 4mnt 13y agoWhy not just disclose it responsibly to github without using it on other people's accounts?
- p4bl0 13y agoIt seems he did but they didn't show interest (according to the comment of zaph0d on this page).
- namarkiv 13y agohttp://vikraman.org/posts/2013/12/1/linux-ng.html http://vikraman.org/posts/2013/12/1/linux-ng.html I shouldn't disclose how this was done until it is fixed. It seems github is unhappy with how this turned out, but I hope they fix it soon. I have already written a personal apology to Linus, and also, apologies if I have offended anyone else.
- captn3m0 13y agoGitHub has its own responsible disclosure policy (which they setup after their last hack)[1]. This is what they say about it: >We consider correspondence sent to security@github.com our highest priority, and work to address any issues that arise as quickly as possible.

- skore 13y agoGiven enough eyeballs, all jokes are shallow.
- zaph0d 13y agoThe repository was not created by Linus. It was a Github security exploit discovered by a friend of mine. Apparently he had contacted Github before exploiting but they didn't show any interest in fixing the issue. There should be a clarification from him soon.
- masklinn 13y ago> Apparently he had contacted Github before exploiting but they didn't show any interest in fixing the issue. If this is true... sounds like business as usual at github. I don't get it, it's not the first time they refused to do jack shit and proactively fix reported security issues before they were used in a high-profile demo exploit. Then again, it doesn't impact their bottom line since nobody switches or cares when that happens aside from a few days of noise, so why would they?
- scoot 13y ago> Apparently he had contacted Github before exploiting Apparently not: "I shouldn’t have exploited it before reporting, so apologies if I have offended anyone." http://vikraman.org/posts/2013/12/1/linux-ng.html http://vikraman.org/posts/2013/12/1/linux-ng.html
- karmicthreat 13y agoIt turns out Linus has gone fully mad. While eschewing microkernels, Torvalds will make linux-ng exokernel based.
- themckman 13y agoThis isn't the same guy that discovered the last Github issue and committed to Rails, is it? The similarities of how this is being handled by the discoverer are pretty eerie.
- homakov 13y agoI committed for a different reason, to fix long waiting issue in rails. Not to fix it on Github.
- homakov 13y agoGood job lol
