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.

Beginning with ME (Management Engine) firmware version 11 (found on Skylake CPUs and newer), Intel utilizes a customized version of the MINIX 3 microkernel operating system.

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.

Or Bach.

I didn't say I was any good at them! Just like my text editor.

That's actually funny, because I play both.

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, Sola…

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 …

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 m…

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.

Im a 3D artist not a pixel artist but I've had these Saint11 tutorial series bookmarked for a while: https://saint11.art/blog/pixel-art-tutorials/

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 …

Yeah was thinking exactly the same thing.

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 …

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).

Exactly. The exact opposite of the people flogging internet widgets running on a bunch of AWS instances running Arch/Ubuntu/Cheap distro of the week. Unfortunately that contingent …

Im surprised how often this question is asked by people who really have no clue and refuse to do even the most basic research on a company.
