#NixOS experimenting with my Atom 330 (4 threads 1.6Ghz 2Gb DDR2)
Currently hooked up to a 76Gb #WDraptor (just for the lovely sound)
I think most of the machine is timely accurate
around 2008, at least late 2000

#unbound is up
#pihole on a #nixcontainer

Only thing nagging me is i can't connect the container to the lan card as i would on the #illumos variants i tried
I had to configure a bridge

ram usage is around 400Mb

@BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. #SunMicrosystems begat #OpenSolaris. Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat #IllumOS by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like #OmniOS and #Tribblix.

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.

@grahamperrin

Shoot, @vab beat me to it, but you forgot #illumos .

@grahamperrin ...because of course other FOSS OSes don't exist, right? #illumos
Es gibt mehr als nur Linux, besucht uns auf dem #illumos Stand der #clt2026 und probiert gerne unser Demo System aus!
