i ran openindiana in my dell xps 15 laptop from 2011 and it ran

i tried installing some wifi legacy driver and when i rebooted openindiana got stuck in some error loop and kept my laptop's fans at max speed

[illumos-gate] 17947 Update logs, features, errors for NVMe 2.3 -- Robert Mustacchi <rm⊙fo>

Soo, zfs set keylocation=address|address is not available under illumos.. ? I have seen it is in OpenZFS.

Any real life benefits of having illumos ZFS over OpenZFS (except OpenZFS is made for Linux and FreeBSD and not ported back to illumos)

You alright alanc ? thenextweb.com/news/oracle-layoffs-march-2026

I still have a job, but am a bit in shock at others who were affected

though given what's left of Solaris is mostly old-timers, a good number are just treating it as early retirement

layoff without notice is cowardice. even if it's legal, law-wise.

ouch...

Good for you, but so sorry about you and others' situations. I found out via dminer earlier today.

I can't help but wonder if things would have been any better if IBM had bought Sun.

Differently bad, probably.

technically Oracle follows the US laws by giving 60 days notice, but immediately relieving you of duty and disabling all accounts & building access, so you get paid for doing nothing

(same as pretty much every big tech company I've heard of in the US)

and unsuprisingly, 60 days from now is the end of Oracle's fiscal year

if I were freeing an unreferenced page, and I were not the page daemon, what would I be?

I think you'd be fairly quickly dead.

But I don't know.
