I 'member

What BPM is 4’33" though? lol

“Holy shit lady, does it sound like I’m ordering a pizza?”

I’m sure there’s some sort of logical fallacy to be said about negating the quality of a quote based on the person who said it. Like, if Einstein said it, then it must be smart. If Hitler said it, then it must be evil. Etc.

I was curious what this would be like. Here you go:

Once upon a time, in the enchanting land of Softwareia, there existed a magnificent kingdom called NixOS. It was a land filled with wondrous programs, magical packages, and a unique way of managing its realm.

In the heart of NixOS, there lived a wise and benevolent ruler named King Nix. He possessed a deep understanding of the mystical arts of software configuration and believed in the power of declarative system management. King Nix had a vision of creating a stable and reproducible kingdom where every program and package would live harmoniously.

Under King Nix’s rule, NixOS flourished. The kingdom’s castle, named “/etc/nixos,” stood tall and proud, housing all the secrets to its magical configuration. Inside its walls, the King’s trusted advisors, known as the “Nixpkgs,” tirelessly crafted packages and spells to ensure the smooth operation of the entire kingdom.

But NixOS faced a great challenge. An evil sorcerer named Dependencyus wreaked havoc on neighboring kingdoms by casting wicked spells of dependency conflicts and chaos. Determined to protect NixOS from this malevolent force, King Nix summoned his bravest knight, Sir Hydra.

Sir Hydra was a mighty warrior, blessed with the power to build and manage an army of software packages. With his magical powers, he could conquer any dependency conflict and ensure that every program in NixOS lived in perfect harmony. Equipped with his trusty sword, “nix-build,” and an unyielding determination, Sir Hydra set out on a grand quest to rid the land of Dependencyus’s dark influence.

As Sir Hydra ventured through the enchanted forests and crossed treacherous rivers, he encountered various creatures that sought to thwart his mission. But with the wisdom of King Nix and the support of the Nixpkgs, Sir Hydra defeated every challenge. He assembled an army of packages, each ready to battle the forces of chaos and maintain order in the kingdom.

With each successful conquest, Sir Hydra’s reputation grew, and soon his name echoed throughout NixOS. Other kingdoms heard of his exploits and marveled at the stability and reproducibility of NixOS. The news spread far and wide, and developers from distant lands sought to learn the ways of NixOS and harness its power.

In the end, Sir Hydra confronted Dependencyus himself. With a swift stroke of his sword, Sir Hydra shattered the sorcerer’s spell of confusion and brought peace to the kingdom. Dependencyus, realizing the strength and resilience of NixOS, abandoned his wicked ways and pledged to help maintain the harmony of software in the realm.

NixOS prospered, and its fame spread across the entire land of Softwareia. King Nix and Sir Hydra became revered figures, their names etched in the annals of software history. Developers from all corners of the world flocked to NixOS, drawn by its elegance, reliability, and enchanting ways.

And so, the fairy tale of NixOS became a legend passed down through generations. It taught the importance of declarative system management, the power of reproducibility, and the magic of a kingdom united under the visionary rule of King Nix and the valiant knight, Sir Hydra.
