Oh the irony

Tribblix m36.1 AMIs now available in the AWS eu-west-2 (London) region:

Not sure if I can reach any #illumos #omnios #openindiana people here, but here goes: does anyone know if there is a well maintained GCP image that could be used to run some flavour of illumos? PostgreSQL uses Cirrus CI with Linux, (Free|Open|Net)BSD, Windows, macOS images. illumos is a missing target!

Added the manual pages to the Tribblix website:

http://www.tribblix.org/man/

This includes all of illumos-gate and plenty of application manuals as well.

Yes, there are plenty of bad links and missing pages in there. I still need to do some work to clean those up.

In case you wonder, yes, #OmniOS runs on the MeLE Quieter 4C #FanlessPC with Intel N100 :)

#tribblix got some cool zone management with #zap
Just playing around with #bhyve and #netbsd
NetBSD feels fast.

Tomorrow the #opensource #FOSDEM #conference starts in #Brussels, #Belgium!

Let’s see if we can attract more people to #BSD based systems by providing free #vps running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos as an #opensolaris solution.

@gyptazy will be onsite to provide you more information or even stickers ;)
