IggiLovers of old <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/sun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sun</a> hardware go with <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solaris</a> 11.4.81 CBE and give a fuck on <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/openindiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openindiana</a> which is for years not capable of booting on something that should be in their DNA. You better install Solaris, Windows and Linux than Openindiana. What a waste of time and it gets worse with every single rolling release. Fuck!

JdeBPI see that over the past 11 years or so, since at least 2014, people have been trying to port <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Illumos</a> to the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a>. Unsuccessfully, presumably, given that none of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a>, or <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a> claim ARM support and all of the porting projects seem to have stalled.Only one of those, Tribblix, even has any non-amd64 support, which is quite a contrast with the SunOS origins.<a href="http://tribblix.org/relnotes.html#m32-sparc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">http://tribblix.org/relnotes.html#m32-sparc</a>I wonder why the port attempts have failed.

Pete OrrallThis is not how I was expecting my Sunday night to turn out. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> 7.7 disc burned but refused to boot. My laptop was having issues reading the disc so I burned another copy. Same thing.... So, what's next on the list to be installed? <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a> - cool. Also haven't used this one in years. LiveCD boots into the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mate</a> desktop just fine. It's missing some key drivers though. I will spend more time with it later. I just need a working laptop for now.Let's go with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD14" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD14</a>. Always a good choice and I just used this disc on another machine recently. But tonight the laptop is not recognizing it and the laptop just boots to the memtest. Hmmm... OK, let's try the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openSUSE</a> Leap 16 beta again. Same problem as before. It installs but the OS doesn't boot. I don't even get the "GRUB Booting..." message. Wonderful. Last on the list is <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> 12. The installer is chugging along happily and I've just realized it's been several hours, I've forgotten to prep dinner, and I am starving. Whoops!It's now 21:41, I am mostly done with my coffee and about to crank on the grill. This laptop can wait.

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@jhx" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jhx</a> Regarding that, at least in theory, it's indeed "truly portable" as it works fine using only <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#POSIX</a> compliant APIs.In practice, there can be issues with platforms that don't implement the *full* POSIX feature-set (which is in fact most platforms nowadays). There can also be nasty issues with how feature-test macros are handled (set by the compiler, interpreted by the system's headers) and sometimes with which libraries are needed (unfortunately, POSIX doesn't specify that, e.g. on illumos, you have to link a libsocket for any socket functionality 🙄).Once I started to add optional support for the platform-specific mechanisms <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#epoll</a> on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kqueue</a> on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> (because the POSIX standard select and poll have severe scalability issues), I wanted to also add support for /dev/poll as used on solaris, that's why I installed <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a> (illumos-based) in a VM to do tests, and I quickly learned /dev/poll was superseded by "event ports", so that's what I added instead.

Wait you thought I would touch something the devil him self ruined? No Oracle axing <a href="https://meow.social/tags/OpenSolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSolaris</a> was one of the reasons why I hate that company.Anyway that was rough like seriously, first off finding parts that are supported, also their latest UI image is broken and I thought for hours the hardware was to blame, UEFI is supported but crashes the kernel on all my machines.Had to use an older image from 10.24 to get it installed and then it took the whole day to update the system, USB stick mounting throws errors but other then that works ok now. It's really such a shame opensolaris was my daily driver for nearly a year back then, was one of the reason I got comfy with compiling my own stuff again at that time. Still have a soft spot for that OS, would be cool if they could get more manpower again.

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:Just released: <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#swad</a> 0.7! 😎 Swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon". If you're looking for a solution to add cookie/form <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/authentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#authentication</a> to your <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nginx</a> reverse proxy, or maybe even a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/lightweight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lightweight</a> alternative to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Anubis</a> which leaves the actual proxying to nginx, this might be for you! It is designed for use with nginx' auth_request, written in pure C, with minimal dependencies (zlib and, depending on build options, openssl/libressl and/or libpam), and compiles to a small binary (currently between 150kiB and less than 300kiB depending on compiler and target platform).Swad should work on many <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/posix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#posix</a> (and almost) systems. It's actually tested on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> (in "production" use, but on a very low-traffic private site), and quick functionality tests also done on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>) and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Illumos</a>, open-source <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Solaris</a> descendant).As announced, this release doesn't bring any new features (in terms of WHAT it can do), but great improvements "under the hood", that should help performance at least on some platforms, see release notes for swad 0.7.Read more, and download the .tar.xz (to build and install it 😆) here: <a href="https://github.com/Zirias/swad" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/Zirias/swad</a>

On the BSD's that have <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kqueue</a>, it covers all these aspects. So, little question here: Are there any solaris / <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> APIs specifically for signal handling and individual timers I should look into? Or should I stick to classic async handlers (signals) and setitimer (timers) on that platform, and just have a look at /dev/poll?

So I might just install e.g. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a> to also play around with /dev/poll. Had a look at an old SunOS manpage, seems simple enough to use 😉
