Ive been throwing z80, 6502, 68000, 8086, i386 and x86_64 asm at it lately. Haven't seen it get stuck on any of them.

The downside is after all that, is you end up with an running Ubuntu system, and you realise you're running a shitty NIH Debian fork.

Somewhat ironic Postfix has a record of no root/RCE in the default install, where opensmptd hasn't (CVE-2020-7247). Time will tell if it stays that way.

I consider my vi/vim skills to be extremely minimalist subset, and probably horribly inefficient, since they were developed to work accross a broad range of UNIX systems (SCO, Solaris, HP-UX, OSF, AIX) and I rarely add anything to my v

Back in the 1990's I was fond of it for the community spirit, the attention to detail, the way things "just worked" even it had a particular take on some things. Over time it felt like it became burderned with design-by-commi

Fedora is upstream for RHEL, which is absolutely dominant in the server space some sectors that require enterprise support.

Yeah perhaps learning UNIX API's and Rust at the same time doesn't lead to a drop in replacement ready to be shipped in major distributions. Who whould have thunk it.

This is obvious within about 3 seconds of opening the article, noticing it's filled with coloured M&M's, and closing it again.

A different "network-aware" concept of this was "aide", that allowed the checksums to be stored on a server, for mutiple clients. [1] Had some drawbacks compared to using offline media of course, but in day to day operat

Oh. My. God. Will the LISP community ever stop MOANING? It is the consistently most depressing, woe-is-me wailing in the entire IT segment. You guys are depressing.

Once you've taken most all of the other subsystems out of NT (which they pretty much have), all you're left with is is the crapload in the Windows subsystem.

My own retro 8-bit inspired VT100 terminal emulator called 8btty, mostly running Claude Code, either native build or integrated into the Unreal Engine 5 interface.

The "gimbal lock" on a 2D sphere didn't clue you in?

And you can also argue that that's overengineered (the original NT design docs were posted on here a while ago), that the UNIX model (while much more primitive and simplified) has proven more successful in the real world, and that the

You don't want to work for IBM unless your life is already over. Been there, done that, never again. It's depressing as hell. Your manager doesn't understand what you do, and they think that once your contract expires you&#x2

Stratus VOS ran on a bunch of non-x86 hardware, i860, PA-RISC, 68000. It wasn't Windows (UNIX admin with a modicum of Stratus VOS experience in production, back in the day).
