SGI Indigo2: An $86,000 Workstation from 1995

Diving into the Silicon Graphics Indigo² desktop workstation computer! This was a beast in 1995, and yes, "it's a UNIX system, I know this!" How do the pros ...

YouTube

@ActionRetro this reminds me of the scalable Workstation Design I wanted to get off the ground...

Kinda like the #Onyx but woth modern bus systems...

@kkarhan i want to play with one of these so badly

@ActionRetro sadly #Dodoid went dark for quite some time.

I wounder if David "#8BitGuy" Murray still has some #Sun slabs lying around...

@ActionRetro but be aware that the #RabbitHole for old #Unix is very, very deep.

*points at @ncommander doing #Solaris 7*

@kkarhan @ActionRetro @ncommander wait what ncommander has fedi
@kkarhan @ActionRetro @ncommander there are three streams I have watched on YouTube, and two of them were the LFS ones

@sataa @ncommander @ActionRetro yeah...

Some people may call this "Cyber-Masochism" in terms of tech but his videos crucially showcase the achilles heels of #unix-alike systems:

- archiving the toolchain and dependencies
- documentation, or lack thereof
- how the #GlibC is an unfixable POS that should not exist since minor updates brick an entire userland and this is absolutely unacceptable for anyone who wants a stable #Linux system!
- how online-dependent distros are.

GLibC breakage on itanium:
itanium did one good thing: die /hj

@sataa and another ting:
It showcased #FLOSS superiority because #GCC delivered better and more performant results than #Intel's own compiler.

They should've gone the #Transmeta route and decoupled silicon and code for more efficiency and scalability instead.

@kkarhan you know you aren't doing too hot when gcc casually beats your in house compiler you put actual money into
@kkarhan granted, gcc is kinda unstoppable
@kkarhan hence why Linux compiling with clang was such an impossible idea for so long
@sataa yeah, tho there is active effort put into making#Linux less depending on #GNUtils amd #GCC...
