The town was infested with some sort of radioactivity from underground that was hurting people. I had to crawl underground, through these super-tight tunnels deep under the earth with things getting more and more evil as I went, until I was able to track the source of the radioactivity to a giant monster that lived back up on the surface (via the tunnels) in an abandoned barn. I had to fight the monster, but I could fly inside the barn. I ripped its head off, but every time I did, it was just like a big rubbery mask and a new head grew back, until I figured out how to do it fast enough that it wouldn't have time to pop a new head out. When I did that, the real head came out: Tux the Linux Penguin.
That broke the immersion enough that I woke up, all amped up from adrenaline from fighting the monster.
"I couldn't help it. It just popped in there ... I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood, something that could never, ever possibly destroy us..." ๐ง
What did you DO, Ray?
Someone's put a fork bomb in their
.bashrc
and you were summoned to fix it on a running system.-Classic hacker bedtime story
Oh no, not the Linux monster!
