i'm bored so i'm running #openindiana (a #solaris derivative) on the thinkpad

Video on #OpenIndiana benchmarks and audit. Curious what the use case is for OpenIndiana these days. https://youtu.be/MWZnYjIKz3w

Here, we have a basic image running which will be soon shared as a raw image (including instructions how to run it w/o patched #Qemu) and also trying to provide a #Vagrant image.

Which #illumos distribution should I install in a VM as a simple dev environment for testing compatibility?
#omnios #smartos #OpenIndiana

Announcement for #openindiana

The Package repository has been pruned of old versions and migrated to a new system. As has the CI system. Please update your systems before installing new software. Otherwise you will get dependency errors.

To update the system cleanly use these steps:
```bash
pkg refresh --full
pkg update -v
```

This will explicitly download a full version of the package catalog from the repo before planning the update.

Small Announcement:

OpenIndiana missing support for Hybrid ISO's is a Bug and not a result of a decision. We would Love patches to our image builders to address that. If you have some time to put some love into a patch to this script here https://github.com/OpenIndiana/slim_source/blob/oi/hipster/usr/src/cmd/distro_const/utils/create_iso we would love your contribution.

IIRC and IIUC, I2O tried that on hardware level.
I think the idea should be correct and the way to go even for now, with huge refreshes.
At worst, firmwares on motherboard should work as hypervisor (monitors on mainframes) and ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS RUNNING ON IT SHOULD CALL IT TO ACCESS HARDWARE REGARDLESS THE TYPE (graphics, audio, disk, networking, and all others) abstracted (virtualized). Yes, Windows should, too. It must be strictly standardized and highly extensible in spec.
This way, hardware vendors can provide maximum performance regardless the OS it's used by for their products.

Distribution of the most used operating systems on #BoxyBSD. Most users tend to use #FreeBSD for their free VM. #OpenBSD and #OpenIndiana (still in beta) share the second place, followed by #NetBSD.

#OpenIndiana snapshot 2024.04 is here

The work on #OpenIndiana continues. Join us tomorrow Sunday at 17:00 CEST at https://meet.chaostreffbern.ch/OpenIndianaCoWorkingSessions there are rumblings of people working on software and we want to look again into package quality.

Shhh! Something is coming... Don't tell anyone.

Guess, I spoilered something for #BoxyBSD now.

Our first weekly will start on the 25th, April 2024 at 7 PM (GMT+2).

You can find all the details on the #BSDCafe wiki:
https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub

For the first one, I already created a small agenda (https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25). You are highly encouraged to modify and extend this, as well as upcoming agendas!

Overview:
Day: Thursdays (weekly)
Time: 7 PM - 8 PM (GMT +2)
Where: https://meet.gyptazy.ch/BSDPub (Jitsi)
Infos: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub
Agenda: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25
Info: No recordings, no deep tech dives (keep it simple, we have calls for the details, no pressures to anyone, have fun and enjoy)

When I started the poll to ask for interests in such a meeting I wasn’t sure that even more than 5 people would be interested. I’m happy to see this amount of interested BSD users. I’m aware of the different timezones and it might make sense to have a second timeslot. This one mostly covers the European and near-east users. I’m happy to hear suggestions regarding preferred timeslots for the US, Asia,… so far, I’m happy to see at least a few of you next Thursday in the call!
