The bazaar hosts a babble of languages. Learn to speak to all the merchants so you can haggle for the packages you desire. Perhaps even antiquities from the shop, from a time before the oceans drowned Atlantis. https://cromwell-intl.com/open-source/package-management.html?s=mc

Every now and then I wonder if there are any freebsd users in Büsingen am Hochrhein.

Also noticed that provides a large amount of binary distributions for , , , , , among several other OSs, plus many architecture-specific binaries. That is really nice! Next thing will be deploying it on the beastie server.

I may just admit to myself that I'm unlikely to really use some of the old #Sun #SPARC #Solaris kit like this Ultra-10 again. A lot of them have had the onboard (not trivial replaceable) battery due so they've lost the memory of what their MAC addresses were ...

Today I learned (re-learned?) that jmp_buf and sigjmp_buf are the same size in GNU libc on Linux, but vastly different sizes in the #Solaris libc:

(Fortunately we no longer ship this driver in #OracleSolaris, so this is just academic interest to me, not a bug I need to patch.)

Nice, since the <rpc/auth.h> declares user2netname() as taking a 'char [MAXNETNAMELEN + 1]' argument, gcc 13 complains if you pass a 'char [MAXNETNAMELEN]' to it:

When Casper was designing the rough equivalent in , the least privilege system, he tried to prevent this. For instance, PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE won’t let you write to a file owned by UID 0 unless your euid is 0 or you already have all privileges (equivalent to root access).

“Storia indiscreta di Solaris in Italia” di Luigi Marinelli, da “L’INDISCRETO”.

Interessantissima disamina delle traduzioni italiane – e non – di Solaris.
Anche io comprai la nuova edizione di Sellerio proprio perché credevo che la traduzione della Bolzoni (il cui vero nome era Ewa Zaniewska Bolzani) non fosse basata sull'originale polacco.

Come nota personale mi viene in mente quell'utente di Reddit che preferiva leggere sempre le traduzioni in lingua inglese, perché, secondo lui, erano intrinsecamente migliori di quelle italiane.

DNS is so critical to the modern Internet, yet it's so often taken for granted. NCommander explores The Old Ways of life with UNIX without DNS.

🎥 Nachdem uns mässig gute #SciFi Streifen gerade wieder auf Streaming Plattformen überschwemmen, scheint es angebracht, auf Klassiker zurückzugreifen:

#Solaris von #AndreiTarkovsky aus dem Jahr 1972 etwa. #StanislavLem hat das Buch 1962 veröffentlicht.

(Wird auch auf Youtube bereitgestellt und kann mit #invidious werbeschmerzfrei genossen werden.)

Interesting detour today debugging a very strange man page display issue on Oracle 11.4.66. It was reported by a customer as being an issue with Japanese man pages in ja_JP.UTF-8 and copy/paste. With the help of truss(1) I reproduced it with en_US.UTF-8 as well. Turns out we updated groff that monthly release and this was an intentional change. @alanc then pointed me to https://lwn.net/Articles/947941/ that shows had this same issue after updating grids 😔

Created a new hda today. Lets lookdev target specific selections or faces for material binding. Basically makes the process of creating geomsubsets more artist friendly whilst keeping them usd compliant!
