  1. Solaris’ turnstiles

    Although Solaris is now mostly defunct, its influence remains substantial; technologies pioneered by Solaris can still be found across a wide range of software

    A lot of Solaris' inventions have been described and talked about ad nauseam (such as the Slab Allocator), but one I rarely see discussed is its use of turnstiles.

    Despite being relatively obscure, the idea has quietly spread far be

    Quick question!
    I have a SUN SunFIRE v880, but no login to the RSC card and no OS to boot from.

    But I am thinking if I can create somekind of LiveCD with Tribblix and run rscadm from that one? Is that possible with Tribblix?

  5. Two new preprints from my #research center!

    "Is Cleaning Costly? Evaluating the -fret-cleanAnti-Return-Oriented Programming Mitigation from the OpenBSD Operating System" — an evaluation and critique of #cybersecurity #engineering: briancallahan.net/preprints/Ca (and #blog post about it: briancallahan.net/blog/2026081)

    "Write Your Way to Better Cybersecurity Awareness Training with Active Word Games" — about identifying creating cybersecurity training as a site of learning worthwhile of studying: briancallahan.net/preprints/Wr

  6. NexentaStor – a Unix operating system based on the illumos kernel and is a direct fork of OpenSolaris. NextenaStor provides a graphical and text-based interface for system management. archiveos.org/nexentastor/ #solaris #illumos #unix

  7. An alien ocean answers grief with a body instead of a sentence. A dream that never learns to negate. A mystic reaching God by subtracting every word. Solaris, Freudian dream-work, and apophatic theology land on the same collapse of propositional thought, from opposite directions.

  8. Space-based solar ☀️ power (#SBSP) - beaming clean #energy to #Earth from orbital #solar farms.

    The #UK 🇬🇧, #US 🇺🇸 and #Chinese 🇨🇳 governments are funding research, #ESA 🇪🇺 has approved a 3-year study named #Solaris.

    One reason that #SPSB is back on the agenda is the plummeting #cost per kilogram of launching #payloads into #space.
    Thanks to #reusable #rockets, this figure has fallen nearly 20-fold in two decades, while solar panels have become #lighter. abc.net.au/news/science/2022-1
