  1. 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.

  2. This idea of switching from Proxmox to SmartOS is making me deeply interested and excited in thing compute related again. Dumping linux for #SysV or a #bsd , heck yeah!

    #homelab #proxmox #Smartos #linux

  3. So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??

    Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D

    Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

    Yes. The #OpenBSD version does not work as-is anywhere else. Basically: either one modifies the code to conditionally-compile out the OpenBSDisms and loses functionality, or one takes the OpenBSDisms out completely and replaces them with sudoisms.

    #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, and #Arch Linux have both Smith's and Overbruck's versions; #Debian Linux only the latter; #SmartOS only the former.

    #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.

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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 😃

  13. This week's bi-weekly #SmartOS release may be of interest to more conservative #Triton operators. Upstream and outside software brought a lot of improvements into the 20260205 SmartOS release.

  14. #Introduction
    Hi, this is a backup account first, in case my instance isn't available and people who are not in direct contact with me daily would need to find about it (there is no such users at the moment though).

    I use Linux and Unixen for about 20 years, and run a server for my projects with SmartOS since somewhen in 2012 (at first at OVH, then at Hetzner).

    I contribute to different OSS projects whenever I could, and recently I was honoured to help to establish the OpenIndiana/illumos Association - #OIDA

    Also on topic of this instance:
    my own istance is a small one, but it runs fully under the #SmartOS hypervisor on a bare metal server, splitted into a few LX zones (for ruby processes - puma and sidekiqs) and a few natives ones (postgres, redis, etc).
    It is a third iteration of the setup since 2022 - back then it was possible to run everything in natives zones.

  15. 📚 Behold, the #labyrinth of #SmartOS documentation—a riveting saga where “Quick Start” is an epic quest, and “How to Use this Site” is your final boss battle. 🤯 Enjoy getting lost in the abyss of nested "Home" pages, while the "User's Guide" remains a myth as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster. 🔍💻

    I gotta get off my ass at some point for SmartOS v6-only support. We might be mostly/all there already but I can't remember if some of the JS portions of #smartos need some love. I know #Triton does.

    It's less critical for #Triton except for public/external networks because Triton's internal ones are easily covered by RFC 1918 blocks.

  17. What better to than a look at what I think was my first contribution. I’d like to apologize now for the unbounded memory allocation bug I introduced. Oops.

    github.com/php/php-src/commit/

    Since then I’ve done a bunch of work (mostly ) followed by OS ( ) development and more recently various storage stuff ( ).

    I love through the and other natural areas.
