#illumos — Public Fediverse posts

I have the code for #GNU #coreutils 9.11 #dd to use #getopt, and here it is in action.

I have no idea how to show the code to the coreutils people, whoever they even are. But it exists, and has finally been done.

So that's two versions of #FreeBSD dd, and now GNU dd. I'll do #NetBSD dd next.

I still intend to set up an #Illumos system at some point, but a patch to #Tribblix/OpenIndiana/OmniOS/SmartOS dd will have to wait on that, unless an Illumos person sees these and is inspired. (-:

@lanodan

Almost certainly on #Illumos as well. It has the @millert code, and has had it since before the open sourcing.

Loads of utilities on Illumos use it, too. Even humble ls has loads of long options on Illumos. Long options are in things ranging from grep to bhyvectl .

#getopt

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.

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

Tomorrow the #opensource #FOSDEM #conference starts in #Brussels, #Belgium!

Let’s see if we can attract more people to #BSD based systems by providing free #vps running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos as an #opensolaris solution.

@gyptazy will be onsite to provide you more information or even stickers ;)
