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.

☀️ 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.

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

Literally Unix | @bsdbcr @Tubsta 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

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

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!

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

Last night @bcantrill 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

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

Remembering Phil Rosenzweig of Sun Microsystems, lost on 9/11/01. lowellsun.com/2010/09/12/out…

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

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

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