@jselea Thanks goes out to Jonathan for this (still quite relevant) tidbit. For those of us who spent a lot of time with Sun #Solaris up through Solaris 10 there's a lot to appreciate here.

Solaris has been parted out, but here is an Enterprise production scale incarnation that's worth a looksee and testdrive. It's really a shame that the Evil EllisonCo destroyed so much - just discarded it like trash, following aquisitions, and what they didn't toss out in the trash they dissappointed the developers so much that it spawned forks that exist to fill the vacuum to this day:

- MySQL ==> MariaDB
- OOo ==> LibreOffice (The Document Foundation)
- Sun Enterprise Servers - rebranded as Oracle boxes
- Sun Solaris 10 ==> OpenIndiana and others (OmniOS, for one)
- Sun VirtualBox - Oracle VirtualBox

So without dwelling on the past or further ado, let's follow Jonathan's tour, shall we?

The Bluenose: Canada's Racing Icon

Launched in 1921, the Bluenose was a fishing schooner from Nova Scotia that became a racing legend and a national symbol. 🇨🇦 She was undefeated in international races and still sails on the Canadian dime. ⛵ #Canada #Bluenose #TallShip #MaritimeHeritage

I meant to post on the progress that @toddsundsted has been making on kristec.

I've been thoroughly impressed with all of the publishing features of his Fediverse server.

Some of the shortcomings, if that's how you choose to view them, might be that it's essentially a smolweb server leveraging noSQL and an accounts database that trusts all users as literal admins.

But if you're looking to self-host, and your primary interest is in publishing your own material on the #Fediverse, then this may be just the thing you've been looking for.

I cannot atest to the veracity of his claims because I haven't actually installed or tested its capabilities, but it's indeed a laundry list of features I've been hoping to see - leaving that Twitter style cloning of communications in the past, like I've been hoping for.

So for those interested, if you're impressed with the capabilities that #PieFed and #Mitra and #Socialhome bring to the table then here's a fourth initiative that is both visionary and inciteful in it's ambitions.

Your thoughts, observations?
