Assigned OpenCode (running natively on my BashCore OS) a full CTF mission using only BourneCore (my minimal illumos/OpenIndiana Unix live system) and its tools via SSH.
No GUI, no browser, just pure CLI.
BourneCore handled port‑knocking, SSH, RCE, privesc and full flag capture. All from a tiny VM (2 cores, 2GB RAM).
Two different OS working together as one solid cross‑platform lab.

Building a Unix live ISO from scratch is pure awesomeness 🥰
My Unix development machine had zero GPU compatibility: a mountain of boot errors, GUI dead, straight to CLI 💀
Driven completely blind in a storm of hardware failures, the Unix kernel remained an absolute rock, letting me build the OS anyway 👊🏻
Just tasted the legendary Unix stability 🛠️💪🏻

Where is the best place to get some #openindiana pointers?
I have been on the search engines for a few days.
How to set up a kvm Zone (sorry NO bhyve, I dont have any new intel stuff YET recommendations are welcomed)
How to set up an LX zone.
sofar this is what found
https://dlc.openindiana.org/docs/osol/20090715/SYSADRM/html/gentextid-20513.html
https://web.archive.org/web/20200425133600/https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/7.3+KVM
https://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/systems-administration/#zones
man pages are fun
https://man.omnios.org/man8/zonecfg
https://illumos.org/man/8/zonecfgMy idea is to migrate away from my linux setup and use KVM where i cant get services in #opensolaris #illumos to work right away.
#tldr need help with zone creation with zonecfg in openindiana

Prices for dedicated servers and VPS instances are raising more and more! Guess what…
#BoxyBSD still provides free VMs to people who want to learn #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD or even #Illumos / #opensolaris - all with full #ipv6 support - of course! #LearnBSD & #RUNBSD

So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??
Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D
Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

Morgen (Dienstag, 21.04.) ist wieder #FRAOSUG -- wir treffen uns ab 19 Uhr online und nerden ein wenig rum. Erwin erzählt etwas zu lokalen DNS-Root-Servern, und jeder kann seine persönlichen #illumos-Themen mitbringen. https://fraosug.de/

Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.

@BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. #SunMicrosystems begat #OpenSolaris. Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat #IllumOS by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like #OmniOS and #Tribblix.

Wie beliebt ist eigentlich #OpenIndiana / #Illumos als #OpenSolaris-Fortführung? Man hört so wenig über #Solaris. Ich würde naiv meinen, das müsste doch höhere Produktreife als FreeBSD haben. Solaris war doch eines der coolsten UNIX’.

So I was curious about VirtioFS today and decided to satisfy that curiosity with the Help of Gemini DeepResearch. The Resulting document was an interesting read. It looks like the Tool manages not to Hallucinate as it has direct sources. The Part that VirtioFS is basically FUSE was new to me. When I finished reading it I thought, maybe some people might like this read aswell.
