First, I wanted to thank you for replying. This was the first (and only) indication that someone was subscribed and/or was reading my messages.

What is my sftp server doing? Well, I'm not familiar with DTrace, but sometimes want to find, what some application is doing. In this case I wanted to monitor my sftp server. Luckily, most illumos distributions provide dtrace patch (coming from Oracle Solaris) to find this out. Unluckily, I haven't found any documentation on it, just source code. After reading Translators chapter of DTrace Guide and looking at /usr/lib/dtrace/sftp.d I've come to this: http://alp-notes.blogspot.com/2018/08/quest-creating-one-hundred-zones.html Quest: creating one hundred zones Well, I need to create about one hundred zones once again. You could probably use ansible for this, but an old-fashioned man will do everything in shell. So: we have one "golden image" and have to create 100 zones like it. We could clone it, but with clones you receive wonderful issue - beadm activate fails in zone. So we create zones and do send/receive manually. This looks like this: https://www.openindiana.org/community/ OpenIndiana is a distribution developed and maintained exclusively by a small community of volunteers passionate about UNIX-like systems. There is no company running the project nor funding it, unlike most major Linux distributions. The development of OpenIndiana Hipster results from individual contributions coordinated in a fairly informal way: most people here (system administrators, developers, researchers, engineers, …) contribute in their spare time and like to do it in a friendly environment, with all the serious that goes into a “hobby” that you like very much! (comment - they are obviously not well funded when there is one Russian Grad Student spending most of his time on it) https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/2695 https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/2449 (comment - after 2016 openindiana.org seemed to drop off a cliff from inactivity) > SmartOS (by Joyent) > https://www.joyent.com/smartos 06-16-2016 https://www.wired.com/2016/06/samsung-snaps-best-kept-secret-cloud-computing/ ... Joyent was founded in 2004, and has raised about $126 million in venture capital over the years. ... One reason that Joyent never quite caught fire the way Amazon did, despite pioneering cloud technologies that practically everyone else in the business now uses, is that the company used a rather idiosyncratic stack of software. Most notably, the company's cloud ran atop its own operating system, SmartOS, which was based on the venerable Solaris version of Unix. That probably turned many customers off of Joyent, even though it shouldn't have. "We all should be using [SmartOS]. It’s way better. But we’re not going to use it because it’s Solaris and people haven’t gotten over Oracle and Solaris. All that drama hamstrings it—in a way that’s completely unfair technically." ... The Samsung acquisition could give Joyent the boost it needs to survive in this new world. Meanwhile, as the cloud computing market has matured and prices have plummeted, cloud providers have turned to specialized software—such as Google's Firebase service and Amazon's Dynamo database—to differentiate themselves. Joyent has been adding new offerings along these lines as well, including a new storage system called Manta. > I agree that Linux is popular, but to suggest that it has "won" > implies a zero sum game -- this is firmly not the case.

Now we can have a debate between the two of us what is on topic and what is off topic. Since the topic of "where did the people go?" is currently on topic (until a 3rd person shows up and gives his opinion), you don't have "community" to hide behind. It is just the two of us now. The question is whether this list is "dead" or not. It may be time to shut it down when it only has 14 posts this year.
