Back In The Day - early/mid 90s - I saw #SCO (or possibly #Novell) demo a version of #Unixware on some funky PC hardware where you could add and remove physical CPUs and memory on the fly. Does anyone remember what that hardware was?

And does anyone know when this feature will be added to #QEMU? It's just that my #FreeBSD testing VM has just started swapping, and I'd like to allocate more memory without having to stop it.

I worked at two, maybe three places that ran #Novell netware but I never got into any of the admin side.
Based on this the second picture in this toot https://techhub.social/@Sonikku/116307060606532613 Relevant text from a Seagate hard drive label is
"Novell Netware Ready
Formatting, Compsurfing or surface scanning will DESTROY Netware ready signature on this drive"
What was #compsurfing in the context of Novell? I found like 3 posts and it seems to be some fragile way of imprinting a license key into the hard drive but I would love to know more.

DR-DOS está de volta. - Retrópolis

Antes de tudo, um relato pessoal. Eu tenho MSX na minha vida desde 1986 (esse ano completo 40 anos MSXzeiro!), mas meu pai teve um PC/XT, depois um 286, um 386... Então, o meu primeiro PC mesmo foi um Pentium 166. Posteriormente, migrei para um K6-2 500 Mhz, e lá comecei a usar Linux. Cheguei

Кстати, ещё одна милая история о #Microsoft тех времён
「Если вы собираетесь кого-то убить, нет особой причины волноваться и злиться по этому поводу. Любые предварительные обсуждения — пустая трата времени. Мы должны улыбаться #Novell пока нажимаем на курок」

Siento si soy agorero, pero me temo que el valor de #SUSE en el mercado está muy por debajo de los 6.000 millones de dólares estimados por #EQT.

Por otro lado, hay que tener en cuenta que SUSE no ha parado de dar tumbos desde que se independizó de #Novell, y viendo que esta operación huele a más incertidumbre, creo que la #UniónEuropea debería plantearse adquirir la empresa y nacionalizarla si quiere garantizar su #SoberaníaDigital de cara al futuro. https://www.muylinux.com/2026/03/11/eqt-estudia-vender-suse/

EQT estudia vender SUSE por hasta 6.000 millones de dólares

😍😍 #Unboxing #GooglePixel9Pro 😍😍

Mein neues Pixel 9 Pro ist angekommen und ich darf es dank meines Arbeitgebers sowohl beruflich als auch privat nutzen 🖤 Das ist ein tolles Beispiel für das " #COPE - Modell" (Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled), bei dem das Unternehmen ein Gerät stellt und Du es trotzdem persönlich nutzen darfst 👌

Das Ganze wird bei uns technisch über #OpenText #Zenworks (ehemals #Novell ) realisiert – ein System, für das ich selbst administrativ verantwortlich bin 🙂

Auf dem Smartphone "leben" dann 2 technisch vollständig voneinander isolierte Bereiche 🔒 Nahezu ohne Leistungsverlust ✨

WOW - #MegaHappy damit 😀

I worked in #PrePress in the late '80s thru the '90s. Although we had Macs & a #Novell server, we also still had a #Linotype 202, which needed to read a paper punched tape after power-on in order to work.
