  1. 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.

  6. Another day exploring ppt and pcie passthrough on #illumos #omnios
    After a year of shaking my fist at it i can finally say i managed.
    I did it with a usb card.

    But here is something i didn't understand
    I have an Atlantic NIC on my motherboard. No drivers available for OmniOS. perfect to pass it through to something.
    But i can't find it in /devices Ghost nic?
    I remember the device tree from exploring various openboot systems

    Well it took me 13months to get here
    Thanks for your shoulder.

  14. 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.

  19. New experiment: BourneCore is live!

    A OpenIndiana (illumos) live USB for sysadmins who miss real Unix.
    Boots straight to shell, packed with nmap/netcat/tshark & friends.

    Heads up: it's beta and a bit rough around the edges 😅 built it mostly for fun. If you poke at it and hit bugs, I'd genuinely love the feedback!

  24. Fable dishing out the compliments that those of us running these systems for decades have always known and advocated for.

    "That DTrace trace was the whole game, by the way — owner identity from mdb plus lock/unlock pairing found one orphaned acquisition in 55k events and its exact stack. Nice platform to debug on."

  29. 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 🛠️💪🏻
