@JohnDal #Solaris doesn't count as it's been #CCSS (#Oracle killed #OpenSolaris and outside of #NAS-Appliances from like #Nexenta, #illumos is a rounding error!) as any halfassed #Linux distro does at least some sort of #PackageManagment and/or #PatchManagment - even the most used #toybox+#musl / #Linux distro we all know as #Android...

#FLOSS allows for timely identification of issues, fast workarounds and fixes because it's not reliant on a single entity to admit the problem and fix it!

@[email protected] @[email protected] I disagree, as all such #SupplyChainAttacks are merely based upon lack or #reviewers and lack of #funding. - Whereas with #CCSS you have no independent auditability as with #FLOSS and *everything* is a *"#TrustMeBro!"* approach, which *ALL* the #GAFAMs, #PRISM-Collaborators, #CloudAct subjects and willingful #Govware integrators have forfeilt by their actions! Not to mention it's easier and faster to fix #FOSS as well as the #diversity of systems mitigate said issues (i.e. #dropbear was affected by *neither* #RegreSSHion #XZ's #backdoor, likely preventing another #Mirai-Style #Botnet from being created... - Instead of shoving money into buying #CSS Governments should instead provide proper fundibg to #OSS, instead of wasting it on #HypeBasedDevelopment / #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment like #Zensursula's @[email protected] does with garbage like *"#AI"*... After all, these issues are systemic, and denying the root cause is turning a blind eye at the obvious fix!

@ncommander Yeah...

I do really wish for #illumos to be more #successful, but the matter of fact is that those big, ex-#Sun customers that could've backed it up finamcially jumped ship over to #Linux and #FreeBSD a decade ago when #Oracle took over and #enshittified #Solaris, canceled #OpenSolaris and told everyone to GTFO...

Last time I checked #Nexenta was still around and kickin' but they can't compete with the millions if not billions of $ that made #FreeBSD okay and #Linux great...

It's really saddening cuz I loved #OpenSolaros with it's neat integrations like the #TimeSloder for #ZFS #Snapshots aka. "#TimeMachine, but better"...
