#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.

Any pager that uses termcap/terminfo and does so properly will enter/exit 'cursor addressing mode', which will normally end up switching to and from the XTerm alternate screen, which isn't what you want.

AFAIAA not even the #Illumos pg is as dumb as you want. That uses terminfo, too.

You'd have to resurrect something from 1977 or so.

Or see how far forcing TERM=dumb gets you.

Or port Microsoft's MORE command. (-:

⚠️ 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 ;)
