  1. @jpmens

    In the spirit of there always being 1 more #vi clone than one thinks, notice that @lpar 's list is lacking Ali Gholami Rudi's #neatvi which is packaged in #pkgsrc and about a decade old now.

    pkgsrc.se/editors/neatvi

    And even then the rule still applies. There's 1 more clone: Sterling Huxley's and Brent Roman's #viless, a quarter of a century old and what #BusyBox supplies.

    #NetBSD #OmniOS

  2. Well thats a bummer, can't even boot #SmartOS on my dell T630, kernel throws some complaints about xhci (guessing it doesn't like something about the USB controllers or USB 3?) , crashes and reboots. Hrmm.. Nothing in the forums, just some vague references and ancient bug reports that didn't seem resolved.

    #SmartOS #illumos #omnios

  3. After being hosed by #btrfs on #linux 7.0.1, the #atomdrift postgresql master database is on #OmniOS & #ZFS

    It's good to be back, even if I'm rusty in Solaris-based environments.

  4. I wrote up a quick howto for getting bob up and running on OmniOS for someone, but figured it might be useful for others who want to play too.

    Quite a minimal, stripped-back config, so doesn't have dynamic jobs configured. Easy to add though if you want to push your system to the max.

  5. @BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. begat . Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like and .

    #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.

  7. 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: public.senfcall.de/FRAOSUG2026

  8. Gestern ging das Frühjahrsfachgespräch der GUUG nach knapp drei Tagen zuende, inklusive meinem Vortrag über #SmartOS und #OmniOS. Jetzt gibt es wieder ein paar Menschen mehr, die wissen, was #illumos ist. 😀 Freue mich auf's nächste Jahr! #GUUG #FFG

  9. Just in case anyone else is crazy enough to want to run #rizin on #omniOS as part of their automated reverse-engineering pipeline: github.com/rizinorg/rizin/pull

  10. Nochmal eine kleine zarte Erinnerung, daß der Frühbucher-Rabatt für das #FFG2026 der #GUUG morgen endet: guug.de/veranstaltung/ffg2026/ Dort ist nicht alles nur Linux, unter anderem gibt es einen Vortrag zu FreeBSD #bhyve und auch etwas zu #SmartOS und #OmniOS... von... ähem... mir 😃

  11. Morgen gibt es wieder ein Treffen der #FRAOSUG -- wir reden über alles Mögliche und Unmögliche aus der IT-Welt, ein wenig über #OmniOS und #OpenIndiana und vieles andere. Wir treffen uns auf Senfcall, Link siehe fraosug.de/ -- jede/r ist herzlich eingeladen! #illumos

  12. i've had a #linode since 2008. just deleted it and closed the account. never was an akamai fan, but it wasn't the acquisition that did it for me.

    in other news, expect a post on installing #omnios on #ec2 coming soon

  13. Ok, i am lost

    Tested with my cellphone sharing internet to my BunsenLabs laptop, i also tested sharing wifi to lan

    Lan is then connected to my OmniOS machine Wan interface
    max out my fiber connection 300/300.
    Or as much as my wifi can handle

    Power down everything

    Connect my OmniOS to my incoming RJ45 direct,
    (Fiber>media converter>wan on OmniOS)
    replacing my laptop and NixOS machine.

    Now i get 300 down and 5 up
    Where did the 295Mbit go???

    So we can rule out hardware 😂😵‍💫😮‍💨

  18. I had forgotten that I have qemu installed. I need to check the syntax for memory allocation but this iso starts (slitaz) FreeBSD starts effortless and goes all the way to live even Omnios also but I need to allocate more ram for that than the default small ammount.

    I will play with qemu later today

    #Qemu #freeBSD #slitaz #distro
    #OmniOS #OpenSource #illumos #illumosCafe #Solaris

  19. @ytc1 @ptribble

    You're asking the wrong person. (-:

    #OmniOS on a #RaspberryPi is still at the idea stage for me, as I said.

    The #OpenBSD installer does not work for installing directly onto my Pi that has 1 DASD, for reasons mentioned a few weeks ago, so now that I've got version 1.41 of my #nosh toolset out it's time to have another think of how I can get an OpenBSD system for building it, and OmniOS virtualization (if it even does amd64 on aarch64) is one idea.

  20. Morgen bei der FRAOSUG: Der Mailinglisten-Manager “Ezmlmx”, das neue Release der kostenlosen Solaris-11.4-Version "CBE", die neue LTS-Version von OmniOS, merkwürdiges Verhalten von pkgsrc und vieles mehr... wir sehen uns online am Dienstag um 19 Uhr! fraosug.de/ #FRAOSUG #Solaris #OmniOS #pkgsrc

  21. Und morgen abend ist völlig überraschend schon wieder der dritte Dienstag im Monat... #FRAOSUG-Dienstag! Wir treffen uns um 19 Uhr zu zwanglosem Austausch über alle möglichen IT-Themen, mit einem leichten Schwerpunkt auf #illumos-basierten OSen wie #SmartOS, #OmniOS und #OpenIndiana -- es gibt auch News über den Versuch, einen "Förderverein" für OpenIndiana aufzubauen. Wir treffen uns hier: public.senfcall.de/fraosug2025 Jeder ist willkommen, mitzudiskutieren!

  22. @wyatt on Debian but only because I have to; (Debian bug-fixed to get rid of systemd); (specifically ); because of , the one application that needs Windows

  23. To those who believe #Firecracker is a good idea for running #containers in another protective layer, should just migrate to #QEMU #microvms on #SmartOS, which will protect the #VM within a container.

    Hey
    @[email protected], when will #bhyve support microvms (https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/i386/microvm.html) ? I am curious to see if @[email protected] 's #FreeBSD kernel work allowing it to boot in ~20ms, works over there, and gets carried over into #OmniOS.

  24. Unpopular Opinion #(??)

    I'd like to see a
    #Proxmox clone based on #OmniOS, providing the best of both #bhyve and #KVM for #VMs (protected by a zone layer), and zones for all things #BSD and #Linux. BSD support in the zone layer would certainly rocket it up the list and make it the only #OS with support of #virtualizing or straight up #emulating almost any OS (obviously no #Windows support). All that combined with #Kubernetes would make it a swiss-army knife for just about any purpose.

  25. Release early/often/occasionally...

    I have added #OmniOS and #Windows autounattend.xml support to the #FreeBSD *agine.sh aspects of #OccamBSD. They aren't fully unified but they're going from cousins to siblings.

    I use this all the time and maybe you'll find it useful too. Please report any issues you encounter. This is... multifaceted.
