#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 .

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

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.

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!

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 🛠️💪🏻

Just discovered it's totally possible to build custom live ISOs based on OpenIndiana/illumos/SunOS.

​I've just built my first one: it runs like a primordial internal combustion engine for now, but it's the right path!

​The goal? A minimalist CLI toolbox for Unix (an OS I'm absolutely in love with) sysadmins. It's like a wrench of a very weird size, but it works. 🛠️

Playing around with OpenIndiana/illumos, a Unix descendant with real System V lineage going back to the original AT&T code 🫠
Not something I use daily, just curious to poke at it and learn a bit 🫠
Setting up a small custom flavor on top for fun, called BashCoreU ☺️

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.

My 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

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

Auch diesen Monat reden wir kommenden Dienstag (17.03.) bei der #FRAOSUG wieder online über alles Mögliche und Unmögliche zu #illumos, #OmniOS, #SmartOS und #OpenIndiana. Und außerdem noch über alles mögliche andere unix-affine, was uns so einfällt. Wer mit-nerden will, ist herzlich willkommen und findet sich gegen 19 Uhr auf dem Senfcall-BBB-Server ein: https://public.senfcall.de/FRAOSUG20260317

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’.
