  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

  3. A wild #blog post appears!

    I discuss a new #research publication: an empirical evaluation of the #OpenBSD -fret-clean flag. We examine the history of the mitigation, measure its costs, and deliberate whether or not it is worth keeping.

    Worth the read if you like security and/or compilers.

  4. Been playing (and really enjoying) #TheInvincible, so I am on a #StanislawLem reading kick. I'd only read the Kilmartin & Cox version of #Solaris, so now tackling the direct-from-Polish Bill Johnston translation.

  5. Solaris – Eine Annäherung an Stanislaw Lems Science-Fiction-Klassiker

    Ö1 – Dienstag, 9. Juni 2026 um 16:05 Uhr – Von Till Koeppel und Julia Reuter – https://oe1.orf.at/player/live

    Der Psychologe Kris Kelvin wird an die Raumstation des Planeten Solaris beordert, um dort ein Forschungsteam zu unterstützen. Doch nach seiner Ankunft stellt Kris Kelvin fest, dass auf Solaris sehr seltsame Dinge vor sich gehen. Seine Forschungskollegen Snaut und Sartorius hüten ein Geheimnis, das ihnen der mysteriöse Planet auferlegt hat.
    Kelvin entdeckt, dass sich hinter dem rätselhaften Verhalten seiner Kollegen die übernatürliche Kraft des Ozeans auf Solaris verbirgt. Eine organische Substanz, welche die verdrängten Gedanken der Forscher materialisiert und zu realen Abbildern werden lässt. Ein Kampf zwischen Imagination, Halluzination und Realität, der selbst den erfahrenen Psychologen Kris Kelvin vor die Frage stellt – wem oder was ist noch zu glauben?

    Stanislaw Lem meinte über sein wohl bekanntestes Werk: ‘Es fällt mir schwer, diesem Buch einen Kommentar hinzuzufügen. Ich glaube, ich habe es geschafft, das zu sagen, was ich ausdrücken wollte.’

    Die TONSPUREN begehen eine Reise an die Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes und widmen sich den Untiefen von ‘Solaris’.

  6. Una exploració sobre l'alteritat, la comunicació i la condició humana. Ender el Xenocida i la tripulació de l'Estació Solaris revelen que l'encontre amb l'alienígena és, en realitat, una confrontació amb els límits del coneixement humà.

  8. Hype for the Future 43J: How Many Commands are in a Linux System?

    Linux is not an operating system by nature of being a software kernel. However, numerous distributions have been derived from the kernel, resulting in hundreds to thousands of clearly distinct operating systems. Every distinct distribution has unique characteristics, yet in most cases even the characteristics themselves are not clearly defined. With these facts, one can expect the vast majority of Linux systems to have at least one thousand separate shell commands, total, with BSD- and […]

  9. Did you know that the concept of "OS-tan" has existed way before even ME-tan was made?

    Take OS Idol Win-chan as an example. Win-chan's earliest appearance in media seems to be from a promotional CD by Enterbrain, which dates back as early as October 1998. This would mean that Win-chan predates Me-tan by almost 5 years. It's not specified what Windows version she represents.

    Another example can be Magical Toko-chan who is from around 1999. She seems to represent BSD, has a theme song called "Rainbow Holy☆Trident" and has a sister that represents Solaris.

    There is also also another "Wintel Miku" although there’s little art of her. She seems to represent WindowsNT4.0/95/98 and was created as the creator was inspired by Mgaical Toko.

    Besides Win-Chan, Magical Toko, Solaris-Chan and Wintel Miku all have sites dedicared to them!

    Toko: tokochan.haun.org/

    Solaris-Chan: pony.tail.net/toko/sol.html

    Wintel Miku: web.archive.org/web/2000022606

    Also fun fact, Win-chan was made by the creator of Sgt.Frog and the concept designer for Kemono Friends, Yoshizaki Mine! This can be seen on his profile for his site here: mnet.nicomi.com/MINEprofile/YO
