Krazam OS (opens in new tab)

their "merch store" https://merch.krazam.tv/ is losing out on a lot of potential revenue by not even making a reference to their most viral videos. Who wouldn't want to rock a Galactus shirt.

can we crowdsource merch ideas for these guys pls

Krazam is definitely the highlight of my YouTube subscriptions. Its specificity makes it even funnier.

Somehow, unrelated.. With the rise of such cool OS projects like Puter[1], DaedalOS [2] et al. [3], with Krazam being one of them, I can't help but dream of the day when the .os TLD for operating systems is introduced. I believe it would make more sense to use/read krazam.os rather than krazam.tv.

About a year ago, new TLDs were introduced [4], with .zip and .mov being the most popular. However, the .os TLD wasn't on the list, which was disappointing for me!

I'm uncertain about the criteria that determine whether a TLD is a good candidate, and I may be the only one emotionally attached to the idea of a .os TLD. Nevertheless, the introduction of the .zip TLD faced numerous complaints[5],[6], particularly regarding security concerns.

I clicked on safe space and all was right in the world once more

How much do we need to pay this guy to quit software and just make jokes?

This guy is an icon.

Click on “safe space”.

DEVOPS is a meaningful term.

YOU WERE BORN TO DEPLOY KUBERNETES CLUSTERS!

The binary code at boot time spells "hello world s":

  01101000 01100101
  01101100 01101100
  01101111 00100000
  01110111 01101111
  01110010 01101100
  01100100 00100000
  01110011

still one of my all time faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

I like the Safe Spaces. Such heart warming contents! Also, the joke I told in the meeting WAS really funny!

Wow, I fully expected that to destroy my browser history. Imagine my shock when I clicked back and ended up back on HN. Great work.

Fun 15 mins. They really should have made the prize code make merch cost more, not less. I think that would have fit well with the theme!

That SRE video accurately depicted my life in DevOps. I felt that one.

The top two HN posts are currently:

1. Krazam OS (krazam.tv) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40126751

2. Meta Horizon OS (meta.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40115554

Both posts feature OS but with rather different look and feel.

Does it support ISO timestamps?

I clicked on trash and found exactly what I was looking for

Anyone know if Omegastar can support ISO timestamps yet?

They truly speak to the soul of a new industry

If you want to run something that looks like windows xp/98 on your browser startpage you can try this extension that I created: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xp-newtab/ncfmlogae...

GitHub repo: https://github.com/Etesam913/xp-newtab/

I always get one enter away from posting the "I've brought value but at what cost" video in my company slack but then I chicken out.

buttery smooth scrolling + windows 98 = perfection

I am changing my login ID to MilleniumMasterX2!

Here is a nice Easter egg that I found:

Open the terminal. Type help. Then type yahoo_cd

    > Company merch exists to provide an illusion of purpose to your meaningless life.

This guy should have a Comedy Central show by now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUsDk8wjRPs from them kills me every time

Doubly funny when it first came out because IIRC Slackware ha just released a new version

Krazam really captures the feeling of working for a mid-sized startup in SF perfectly. The pedantry, the braggadocio, and most of all the absurdity and the alienation one feels working on this stuff.

This really is the peak of user interface design. I will never be convinced otherwise.

The affirmations video is great. I'm still waiting for a Makro comeback as well!

Obligatory microservices video: https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ

They're hilarious, I think only matched by Austin Nasso who does a tech roast show: https://youtube.com/@austinnasso/videos

yay go Krazam! absolutely love their videos, their videos are THE inside jokes between me and my co-workers.

Open the Terminal and type help to start a puzzle, not much to it but it was a bit of silly fun!

Ha, I made a boot-up sequence on my site in the mid-90s. Brings back the memories.

I'm still using picchi 1.0 to improve my deployment pipeline by 20%

terminal wants me to FIND THE FIRST CODE IN THE SYLLABUS. where?!?!

im having a moment - i'm an absolute dead ringer for Ben Burke..its freaking me out XD Also they are outrageously funny!

Could Krazam be behind the HN spam today?

The syllabus reminds me of HyperCard

What happens with the recycle bin

Devops is a meaningful term

Much better than HorizonOS.

banger

spent way too long looking for that code in the syllabus

Nice old-school look

i just love the details on this one. thanks for sharing!

In a world of people with side projects on GitHub, be the guy with a satire YouTube page.

Weird, twice now it has locked up Firefox when I try to open it.

Maybe it's somehow trying to access my clipboard, and that's triggering a separate problem I've been having when RDP'ing to a certain Linux machine in another window...

The class name on the HTML element definitely makes me want to start using more expressive class names in my code. (Doesn't seem I'm able to copy/paste it into a Hacker News comment)

I would be surprised if the KRAZAM guys did not have an HN account. They are so plugged in the Silicon Valley startup life.

Now I want to see a video from them that references or is about Hacker News.

First thing I clicked on was Safe Space. LOL!!!!! I love it!

“You were born to deploy Kubernetes.”

LOL

legendary

Try `sudo rm -rf /` lol

I saw a similar design theme on Dan Brown's personal site recently and was wondering if it was one of those trends to feed off nostalgia or just a coincidence https://danb.me/
