#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. (-:

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 .

Let’s Try Tribblix, the Solaris-Derived x86-64 Operating System https://lowendbox.com/blog/lets-try-tribblix-the-solaris-derived-x86-64-operating-system/ #Editorial&News #openindiana #opensolaris #tribblix #illumos

Today, the Linuxulator did its job, and it did it very well.
A client is experimenting with moving from Docker to FreeBSD and jails, and they seem very happy with it so far.
The issue is that part of their build process - as so often happens - relies on Node dependencies that only compile on Linux, macOS, etc., but not on FreeBSD, due to a missing binary that isn't provided for it. Currently, they build on their local machines and push the output to the server, but sometimes they need to make quick changes on the fly.

So, I set up a Linux jail (Ubuntu) using BastilleBSD, installed the dependencies, set up a bind mount, and granted them access to the jail. The result: now they can compile right from there too, improving their overall workflow.

The Linuxulator - and even more so, illumos's lx zones - are truly remarkable pieces of technology.

Well looks like i'm running into a similar issue to this bug report from 7 years ago. Doesn't look like #illumos based anything will work for me :( Such disappointment!

@ptribble @joany In case of curiosity,

@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.

I had to write that FGA in part because *everyone* forgot about the SAF. (-:

@Radio_Azureus

#Illumos (and thus #OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, et al.) has #ifconfig as well.

Indeed, some of its tooling, such as for service management, has been stable since the late 1980s; whereas the BSDs went through some churn in this area in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Round 4? of my long long router project
Testing a Oracle/Sun branded network card.
nxge is the driver name (Oh shiny sun stuff on ebay)

Notice that my Realtek on a fresh 38.1 tribblix install did not renew dhcp lease 😵‍💫
