I show 0.18.4, you may want to shift+reload. :-)

I agree with all of this.

For me, I think the best "I want the SPARC experience with minimum fuss" boxes are the SS 5/20 (which are very similar machines, the SS20 is sort of a multiprocessor SS5) or the Ultra 1/2 desktop workstations. All of those are SBUS machines (there are PCI machines with the Ultra 2 CPU and chipset, too, I think, but they're not just called "Ultra 2"?).

I also think of Solaris 7 as peak Solaris, I don't think you're alone there @PAPPP@lemmy.sdf.org . If you want something past Solaris 7, just go with OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/etc. and do "new Solaris" whole hog.

Finally, tech news we can use.

Shift+SPC is not able to be represented on a TTY, due to the way that input is encoded. It should be possible in X11, but my Emacs also does not seem to register it.

I have a set of GPIO boards for my PDP-11s, I've been wanting to turn one of them into a G-code interpreter.

You need a VPN or a reverse proxy or similar for this.

What you want is either a service that gives you an IP address unrelated to your physical location (a VPN), or a machine that is willing to accept connections for you and forward them transparently to your machine (a reverse proxy).

You can set up your own VPN to proxy connections by getting a host from ~any hosting service and running something like OpenVPN on it.

It is, but it was reset (again) relatively recently. You may need to contact membership@ to get access.

I'm not sure it will; as I said, I have heard that subscribing to kbin from lemmy is not currently working, from users on mastodon. (I just tried that search and it indeed did not work, for me.)

Keep in mind that this lemmy instance is currently "in beta", and sdf betas have in the past been reset for various reasons. The sdf mastodon services are very stable, as is its peertube, but since the lemmy server is very new I would treat it as potentially volatile for a bit longer.
