#illumos — Public Fediverse posts

Today's rabbit hole:

* gitea broken due to sqlite.go update
* sqlite.go blocked by libsqlite3.go
* libsqlite3.go blocked by libc.go
* fix libc.go
* libsqlite3.go now blocked by upstream sqlite bug
* caused by "-Wl,-R" in shell scripts getting brace expanded when converted to tcl array

Turtles.

Today is my last day with @smartosorg and @triton_dc .

I will still be in greater - #illumos .

Also both #smartos and #triton developers and users are quite a good community!

Quick question!
I have a SUN SunFIRE v880, but no login to the RSC card and no OS to boot from.

But I am thinking if I can create somekind of LiveCD with Tribblix and run rscadm from that one? Is that possible with Tribblix?
