From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You know it’s serious when you’ve set up a whole new subdomain for this one big!

Thats how they supposedly do this haha

I suppose they have a very minimal webserver, hardened to the max and for sure not using docker

Oh I know it’s minimal effort to spin one up, especially for a static page. It’s just funny that that’s how this goes now.

Its not, web dev is all about running 4 different Operating systems in containers, with huge dependency chains and slow loading javascript crap

As a web developer, I’d say I feel insulted by such a wild accusation, but then I’d be lying. 😅

Plus downloading all your malicious software through unauth'd channels like npm, pip, cargo, docker hub, or github

...it doesn't, you put static files on a CDN. Nobody in their right mind serves them from custom-made webservers (anymore). Those are intended exclusively for dynamic code (APIs for business logic, authentication, user actions, search etc.)
