I'm looking at Repology, and I think most of the distributions and other downstreams have rightfully boycotted #Python #chardet #copywashing. Of course, there's the possibility that some of them are simply out-of-date, though.

So far chardet-7 is distributed by #Chromebrew, #CondaForge (not on Repology), #Homebrew, #KaOS, #OpenIndiana, #openmamba, #Ravenports, #Spack and #T2 SDE. Shame on you!

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

Is there a similar discussion for other #Linux or #BSD distros?

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’.

#borgbackup 2.0.0b20 was just released!

There is quite some new stuff and also some fixes, please help with testing the betas!

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 https://fraosug.de/ -- jede/r ist herzlich eingeladen! #illumos

We just provide #BSD like #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #dragonflybsd #midnightbsd and several other ones, but also #opensolaris with #tribblix #omnios #openindiana. So, we’re also pretty niche and that’s totally fine ;)

@d4gli @Paul @gyptazy

Last week I had a chat with a colleague who is highly specialized in Microsoft solutions. Young but not too young, smart, not very up to date simply because he has little time for anything else. His specialization depends entirely on where he works, not on personal interest. Lately he seemed a bit disillusioned with some choices made by "other operating systems", and he was starting to consider moving his personal projects toward Microsoft as well, since he already had the experience. Still, he said it with boredom. With the attitude of someone who is tired of wasting time.

He had heard of the BSDs but had never tried installing them. He was convinced that there were no decent hypervisors outside the Linux world and that KVM belonged to Linux alone. I had the terrible idea of showing him the BSDs, how great bhyve is, and how nvmm on NetBSD uses qemu underneath, making it almost a replacement for KVM in many setups. He lit up with the look of someone waking up from a long sleep. I also had the terrible idea of showing him illumos and its distributions. He had no clue it existed and thought old, great Solaris had been dead for years thanks to Oracle.

He called me a little while ago. He was furious. He spent the whole weekend doing tests and now he has no idea what to use among FreeBSD with bhyve, NetBSD with nvmm, and illumos with bhyve or kvm. He is slowly starting to explore jails and illumos zones. He was annoyed (in a positive way) because now he does not know what to pick since everything feels so different from what he was used to, and he found advantages in each option.

I am obviously happy about it, but I also wonder: instead of reinventing the wheel every time, would it not sometimes be better to simply broaden our horizons?

Sadly, it is a common failing of manual pages to parrot the SUS and its wording for implementation-defined behaviour rather than document the concrete operating system at hand:

Whilst the #Illumos manual page leaves the loophole open, the actual kernel code does not make same-session checks and never returns EPERM from getpgid().

Packaging maintenance related Post. We are looking for somebody to step up and maintain the #OpenIndiana #saltProject Package. It's big enough to need a dedicated maintainer. If you are using Salt on OpenIndiana or illumos this is a call for you!

#IllumosCafe Hopes To Reinvigorate Interest In Illumos/OpenSolaris Derived Platforms
It's been 15 years since #Illumos project was formed as based on the #OpenSolaris codebase after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems and closing down OpenSolaris. Illumos Cafe is a new effort akin to BSD Cafe aiming to be a resource and helping to reinvigorate interest in Illumos-based platforms.

#OpenIndiana

My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!

The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.

Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.

So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.

I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/

Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

Gerade bin ich zufällig auf #OpenIndiana gestoßen – #OpenSolaris lebt weiter! Es ist großartig, dass solche Projekte dank der Community weiterhin existieren.

@rl_dane Why would you count #Unix #SVR4-derived #OpenIndiana as a #BSD?

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: https://public.senfcall.de/fraosug20250218 Jeder ist willkommen, mitzudiskutieren!

@thomholwerda

Where do you get the #UnixWare?
Is it just repackaged #FreeBSD or #OpenIndiana nowadays?

During our last FRAOSUG meeting, klausz has uploaded the latest boot image for OpenIndiana on SPARC: Get it here https://dlc.openindiana.aurora-opencloud.org/SPARC/ and check it out on your SPARC machine! #fraosug #openindiana #sparc

#Openindiana in the media.

Unfortunately behind paywall and with one error, we are not part of the illumos foundation. illumos distros have their own Legal organizations. But we do meet for beers and talks :) but good to see the coverage.

Morgen (Dienstag 16.01.) ab 19 Uhr sprechen wir bei der FRAOSUG online über OpenIndiana, aber nicht nur... wer mitmachen will, ist herzlich eingeladen: https://fraosug.de/ #FRAOSUG #OpenIndiana #illumos

@Neirac Looks like it’s really only used for i915 driver per https://github.com/illumos/gfx-drm/blob/master/usr/src/pkg/manifests/driver-graphics-drm.mf
I understand the nvidia proprietary #Solaris drivers can be modified to work.
#OpenIndiana’s HCL only mentions those & vgatext: https://docs.openindiana.org/community-hcl/components/#graphics-adapters
I’d be surprised if #OmniOSce supports anything more than that.

#illumos

@Toasterson @gdamore @danmcd So it turns out getting #OpenIKED to build and run on #illumos wasn't too hard: https://github.com/openiked/openiked-portable/pull/95

With this patch the handshake works. The kernel interface is an empty placeholder at the moment, so the negotiated SAs and policies won't work yet. To make it work for real we will "only" have to replace that with the proper pfkey interface.

I have only tested it on #openindiana and this is my first time hacking on illumos, so feedback welcome :)
