I’ve built a virtual museum with nearly every operating system you can think of

20년 이상 수집한 570개 이상의 운영체제와 250개 이상의 플랫폼을 QEMU, VirtualBox, UTM 등에서 에뮬레이션으로 실행할 수 있는 가상 박물관 프로젝트입니다. 모든 OS와 에뮬레이터가 사전 설치 및 구성되어 있으며, 스냅샷 기능으로 쉽게 복구할 수 있습니다. 초기 메인프레임부터 현대까지 다양한 역사적 OS를 손쉽게 체험할 수 있어 소프트웨어 보존과 역사 연구에 유용합니다. 윈도우, 맥, 리눅스에서 실행 가능하며, 전체 및 경량 버전이 제공됩니다.

Flood of duplicate vulnerability reports have made Linux security mailing list 'almost entirely unmanageable' — Linus Torvalds says private list 'a waste of time for everybody involved' in switch to new public system

Someone: "Life is easier without the monolithic systemd."

Linux kernel enters the chat.

Linux kernel: "What do you mean? I am a monolith as well."

Me: Oh, if we use "monolith," "monolith," "other software of different principles," "on top of others," that means we are still following the UNIX philosophy, regardless of the monolith parts' presence.

Thoughts? Feel free to comment.

Genuine question I keep coming back to: if your favourite old OS had never been discontinued and just kept getting developed normally by their OG devs with proper modern hardware support, security patches and so on, which one would you actually want to daily drive today?

For me it's a tossup between Windows XP and Windows 7. I used both of them a lot when I was younger and honestly they felt basically the same to me at the time, but Windows 7 always seemed a bit easier to navigate.

The Register: Doozy of a Patch Tuesday includes 30 critical Microsoft CVEs. “Microsoft released fixes for 137 CVEs on Tuesday, none of which are known to have been targeted by attackers. But the news is not all good as Redmond rated a whopping 30 flaws as critical, with 14 earning a 9.0 or higher CVSS severity rating, including one perfect 10.”
