☀️ Na data de hoje, mas em 1991, a Sun anunciou que iria substituir o SunOS 4, seu Unix derivado do BSD, por um novo sistema baseado no Unix System V R4. Era o Solaris, que já nasceu como Solaris 2. A versão mais recente do Solaris foi lançada pela Oracle em maio de 2023.

As it's #suntember listening to youtu.be/dkmzb904tG0?t=… Scott McNealy "There haven't been any other computer (server) companies that started after SUN" and Oxide Computer Company is on good way I believe

The next #OpenZFS leadership meeting will be Tuesdays, September 12th at 1pm Pacific

Over in the less bad place, people are celebrating #Suntember with photos and memories of #SunMicrosytems days gone by: techhub.social/tags/suntember

Literally Unix | @bsdbcr Letho Listen now: bsdnow.tv/523 The Elements Of Style: UNIX As Literature, The shell and its crappy handling of whitespace, Theo de Raadt on Zenbleed, OPNsense 23.7 released, illumos gets a new C compiler, fixing Thinkpad X1 WIFI on FreeBSD

Born on this day in 1941, Dennis M. Ritchie received the 1983 #ACMTuringAward with Ken Thompson, for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system. tinyurl.com/wvaev25n #ACM #Computing #TuringAward

After successfully repairing the SPARCstation 4, boot Solaris 8 from cdrom. I still have to fix the NVRAM. #sunmicrosystems #suntember #solais #sparcstation

I ended up creating a post about Oxide being the first computer company in over 40 years (btw SunOS celebrates 40 1st of November) kubernaut.eu/tils/oxide-is-… #oxide #illumos #sunos

The latest bi-weekly "release" branch build of SmartOS (release-20230907 - "Zero Point") is up: tinyurl.com/yvsy3d6k Happy upgrading!

This 9/11, we continue to remember Phil Rosenzweig. Leader. Mentor. Colleague...and Friend. You are missed. #SunMicrosystems #NeverForget #September11 hellers.ws/memory/phil_ro…

This is going to be fun as hell tonight. Link wasn't working for someone so here's a better one: discord.gg/gcQxNHAKCB

Last night Bryan Cantrill and I celebrated the 20th (!) anniversary of DTrace by walking through its history. Thanks to everyone who's used DTrace, ported it to various platforms, filed bugs, filed CVEs, added features, fixed bugs, shown up to dtrace.conf... youtu.be/IeUFzBBRilM

A Sun E10K was a terrible $1m router Solaris 9 as the completion of the SunOS 2.0 vision Bryan writing his last wishes on his whiteboard before (what would be a non-fatal) heliskiing trip USDT—so useful for dynamic languages—started as a way to instrument user-land locking

And finally, we announced dtrace.conf(24) (the DTrace conference)… and we totally didn’t just come up with it on the fly during the show! At the Oxide office in Emeryville, 2024, details to be determined!

I apologize to everyone I told that Sun made the /bin -> /usr/bin migration in Solaris 2.0 in 1992. While /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin in that release (and every following Solaris release), I just found that SunOS 4.0 documents the change happened in that release in 1988.
