Yesterday I learned a bit more about #illumos device management...

So .... as a late to the party observer, I'm guessing the poverty response to AArch64 by Illumos based OS'es is a signature of their pending extinction, with any number of BSD types as their ultimate supplanters?

Other indicators like the ceding of DTrace authority rights to Oracle's vultures, heralded by dtrace.org's empty threat to manifest a Linux port source, kinda implies the opensolaris train has done it's boiler, in the yard, with no Joyent rescue shunt evident.

A lot of smoke and steam, yet no tractive outcome.

Would love to be proven wrong, but evidence is very slim, that I can tell. Won't ever be waiting for a vaporware FOSS 0xide offering.

#Illumos #Unix #BSD #OpenSolaris #Joyent

Well I went as far as dding an #OmniOS iso to my flash drive before I came to my senses. What the hell do I know about #Illumos based operating systems?

So I'm going to try to see if I can get Void to acknowledge my wireless card. If so, I'm going to use it for a while. Otherwise, I'll probably fall back to Alpine.

I’m Just the Barista

The spirit of the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it.
I am just the Barista.
I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing.

We need more bars and fewer shopping malls.
