I've never hidden my admiration for #illumos-based systems. I have a few setups based on #OmniOS and #SmartOS, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like #xcp-ng or #xen - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.
I also love #FreeBSD jails, but zones sometimes cover use cases that jails can't (and vice versa). For example, imposing RAM limits in jails works, but it effectively "denies more ram" to a process when it requests more memory. The end user doesn't see this directly. On illumos, the user sees everything. I have some `lx` zones with Debian and Virtualmin, and users have never noticed that they aren't really on #Linux. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.
And that's one of the biggest problems with open-source operating systems: they all have something good, and I always feel the urge to use them all! 🙂

Had some cursory searches.
Anyone have recommendations on Open Source, but for HVAC systems for commercial, multi-floor developments?

New Open-Source Tool Spotlight 🚨🚨🚨
KubeIP v2 takes node-level public IP management in Kubernetes to the next level. By supporting GKE, EKS, and OCI, it assigns static public IPs to nodes where necessary (e.g., for gaming or IP whitelisting). Transitioning from a controller to a DaemonSet improves reliability and flexibility. #Kubernetes #CloudNetworking

The reason for the big jump of Linux usage in Europe on StatCounter (6.15%), is due to France! Look at that jump to 20% in the last few days! What's going on, is this legit? Finland is massive too, but there students get Linux laptops afaik. But France? Now?
