My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!
The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.
Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.
So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.
I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/
Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

I think it's time to write an #introduction for this account as well!
I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for #OwnYourData, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions.
I've been active in the #Fediverse for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of #illumos based operating systems (#OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, #OpenIndiana, etc.).
I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - @stefano@bsd.cafe - remains my primary one.

Ich sehe es so: Wenn eine Kommune (Stadt, Landkreis) ihre eigene Präsenz im #Fediverse pflegt und wenn die Pressestelle und andere kommunale Einrichtungen ihre Inhalte primär über Fediverse-Accounts verbreiten, dann wäre dies ein echter Mehrwert in der Kommunikation mit der #Bürgerschaft. Keine Abhängigkeit von fremdbestimmten Algorithmen und Nutzungsbedingungen! (Eine Zweitverwertung der Inhalte über Insta & Co. schließt das ja nicht aus.)

On a country lane yestedy, I realized how easy it is to have an electric vehicle almost on top of you without warrning. I am very aware when out, but even so, it's easy to see how a fast but quiet car driven (especially one driven by an idiot) can be lethal.
