Yesterday I reached a stopping point in a project I had been working on over several weekends. I wanted to connect my illumos server directly to my Japanese ISP through DS-Lite, and ended up writing and publishing two Rust crates along the way.
The tunnel itself worked, but stock illumos could not manage the DHCPv6 prefix delegation required by my connection. I also spent quite a bit of time tracing a four byte ABI mismatch between a 64 bit Rust process and a 32 bit illumos service.
There was no happy ending, but I learned more about the illumos network stack and distilled the experience into a blog post: https://skalski.dev/connecting-my-illumos-box-to-a-japanese-...

> I saw my roomate already having it 10 years ago
and could use it to this day I guess. Like carpenter may use proven tools then you can be accustomed to the feeling and layout of the tool you use everyday. I still have my first hhkb which I bought almost 10 years ago, works like on day one, even I am usually using newer hhkb wireless model these days. If I am not mistaken before buying first model I read article about someone who had similar experience like I now.
I am reading it now too and i enjoy it a lot. Drawing the dots between all of those science discovery, which led to conduct chain reaction, compressing it to almost suspenseful, detective story and decorate it with events in which the whole world and individual people lived was great achievement of the author.
I will check Showstopper, thank you for recommendation. It was definitely a fruitful time, a lot of meaningful job was done. I envy you that you could work with those folks.
Re watched recently HaCF, supplementing it now with book "The soul of the new machine" which also enjoy. The book also appeared in last episode.
I love this show, re watched it recently, but did not know this site. Thank you for sharing!
I guess something similar not possible/very hard for onyx boox as they not publish kernel sources.
Looks cool. Currently only one machine which I have with zfs is NixOS, which has it own mechanism to handle such versioning, or do you see some advantages of using zfs approach?
I guess that using safari online on remarkable is not possible or at least difficult with exporting chapter by chapter. Any recommendation for 10 inch e-ink which works with safari online?
In my case I'm running macos in kvm VM on my home server based on SuperMicro X10SDV-6C-TLN4F. Seems to work ok but with some exceptions. First is the graphic card which I pass through to VM, it is geforce gtx 1060 and unfortunelty it limits me to use only high sierra, which seems to be the last version of macos for which nvidia web drivers are available. Both video and sound goes through hdmi cable connected to my tv. Other is network card, if you are ok using kvm emulated nic like e1000-82545em then you are set, if you are trying to pass physical interface, or sr-iov vf you may have to deal with bunch of kexts or flashing NIC eeprom to been seen as a card supported by drivers like the one provided by smalltree.
If someone want to try, here is with what I started https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
Thanks, I have node 304 with 3 HDDs, there is no vibration that's true, but I hear spinning plates when there is no other source of sound. It does not look like there is acoustic management available for wd red.
Do you spin down disks? In my case WD Reds generates more noise than cpu and case fans when there is no workload on system.
