Drumpf is way too stupid to use linux lol
Brandon Johnson
I am almost certain you are WRONG and here's why: They use floppies to "secure" it and it ain't those modern 3.5" ones and it's not the 5.25" ones either. They use the 8" floppies developed in the 1960s.
I have no idea what OS they actually use. My best guess would be some really simple custom solution or some customized version of something common in the 1970s. Could be some early UNIX variant but it ain't Linux.
Hudson Taylor
would they even use computer systems or just really basic analog with as few electronic components as possible
Carter Williams
UNIX was not that common in the 1970's. DOD used a lot of PDP machines back then, most likely an OS for such machines.
Leo White
Indeed. In fact they say ICBMs have to be head-cranked before launch for safety.

Why are you assuming that?

wasn't the wheel invented thousands of years ago? how come we still using it???? wtf drumpfht
Charles Scott
>analog = cranking
Isaiah Russell
Not all computers use an OS. A very old computer designed to do just one very specific thing would most likely be entirely firmware similar to an Arduino program.
Jackson Taylor
All servers are based on linux why not
Asher Anderson
Not pre 1990
Joseph Taylor
no, but

Carter Green
Its not pre 1990 anymore
Ayden Perez
The Series/1s probably run the RPS RTOS or some minimal in-house solution. Most likely the former.
Landon Garcia
The control systems are, though.

Here's an analogy for you.

>To help, you offer that while you do not know what it is, you do know that it is not blue

Why is """secure""" in air quotes? Isn't a closed intranet with tech now incompatible with modern machines a pretty safe solution?
Camden Reyes
>because it's obsolete, you can't make it break
right

it's an iphone actually ;^)

the whole thing is very interesting, but the relevant part is at around that time

With SystemDachau?
Oh, shit . . .
Brayden Morris
It's a LISP machine.

In best case references to this
Zachary Sullivan
A ton of old military equipment had to be cranked for power, and on this context it would ensure there's a person around the nuke to activate it, giving an extra layer of safety
Gabriel Sullivan
I've always assumed that high-security government systems use some unknown OS with maybe a frontend so nobody notices.
Elijah Myers
They use red hat or maybe a custom build of it now I’m sure. As for the actual silos those still use old tech not network connected only comms to authenticate orders.
