#illumos — Public Fediverse posts

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 .

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!

I know it's not supposed to be like this; but I swear every time I need to recover an #illumos zone - including transferring them between installs using snapshots - I feel like motherfucking Indiana Jones. Between things like #zoneadmd and #beadm and magic #zfs flags, it's the worst kind of archeology trip.

Say what you might about #incus or #zones - IMHO, nobody matches the user-friendly ergonomics of @BastilleBSD for persistent containers.
