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

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!
People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.
Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!
Infos about how to connect by IRC to Libera IRC:

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

Solaris 10 was a total revelation back in the day. Kids these days will never witness something like that.
Cynicism has killed most of genuine curiosity.

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

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the first publication of #OpenSolaris source code with the #DTrace source release:

We just added a free #loadbalancing service to #BoxyBSD!
This new feature got added by @gyptazy in addition to the newly introduced #NAT64 gateways to make your life easier and is currently tested with a few users! This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by #IPv4 even your box is only running on #IPv6. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.
Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher #BSD adaption where people might be more motivated to try #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #opensolaris with #illumos.

@lonjil @landley maybe #Google as a Corporation doesn't beg for money whilst offering millions in paychecks?
Granted, they finance it with their #Adware aka. #Browser and selling off users' data being member if the #PRISM program which AFAIK is still operational and none of the #GAFAMs ever apologized for!
But maybe that's quite hyperbolic from my POV...
What is needed however is real competition that is cross-platform and just works.
Whether one uses #Gecko or #WebKit or whatever is kinda irrelevant.
( I can also use #LynxBrowser but we can all agree that none of the "#TechIlliterates" and "#Normies" would accept that level of feature regression nowadays!)Google may have droppted their "#DontBeEvil" #Canary but at least Google's #FLOSS-licensed code is 'salvageable' in the worst-case scenario just like #OpenSolaris's & #OpenOffice's code got salvaged into the #illumos and #LibreOffice projects respectably when #Oracle was allowed to buy #Sun and went full "asshole mode" on #OpenSource projects (which is why I don't trust #OracleLinux and won't use it!)...

Weil ich's am Wochenende mit jemandem über alte Zeiten hatte, heute in memoriam gleich mal mein Systemhelden-Shirt von ganz, ganz früher raus gekramt 😃 #subscribe10 #podcast #opensolaris
