Writer, Hacker, Stoic, Erisian, New Yorker. I like coffee, cats, coyotes, and the open web. I run BumpySkies, a free resource for nervous fliers, with turbulence forecasts and other stuff: https:// bumpyskies.com I co-administrate https:// Masto.NYC , and I’m the president of Five Borough Fedi Project (5BFP), the nonprofit that owns it. My posts are my own, and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of 5BFP. No kings.

I just stumbled upon a wonderful archaeo-website, mostly frozen in 1999, and personally meaningful: https://www.mklinux.org
This is the homepage of MkLinux, the long-defunct but historically important effort to port Linux onto PowerPC Macs. A pre-Jobs Apple co-funded this open-source project as an experimental step towards what would eventually become Mac OS X.
It was my first Linux. And I remember in a flash how people would pronounce it "McLinux”, and how I hated that so much, arggh.
