Sitting here thinking about how many hours of my life I've spent sitting in front of green text on a black terminal.

@OurParadise
Mir ist vor Jahren (1996) ein Cluster mit ultrix-Maschinen abgeraucht (Stromausfall bei einem gewachsenen Cluster, crossgemountete Platten, jeder wartete auf die anderen Platten beim Hochfahren...). Sogar auf dem System, dass das ROM der Maschinen lieferte lief sowas wie vi. Es hat einen Tag gedauert das wieder aufzusetzen.

@feoh It was a pain, but unfortunately what my school had picked for their network. At this time we didn't have any kind of browser on the PCs, just the DOS telnet client to the student DEC5100 #Ultrix server where the wildest thing you could do was use #Gopher. Later some of the more rogue students experimented with running the #NCSAMosaic browser on the DEC and displaying it on the Windows 3.11 clients through X/Windows.

@hoernchen72 #coff ? Habe ich seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr in freier Wildbahn gesehen. Hm, auf #Ultrix/#MIPS muss das damals gewesen sein. Auch #Parix für #Transputer hat es benutzt.

My local library also had these for use. It's a small world.

Often forgotten by people is the period in between. The people who cloned Linux and the (GNU) "shell" around it often worked from samizdat doco about 1970s Unix.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, there were a whole bunch of commercial #Unix flavours: #Xenix, HP/UX, #AIX, #SunOS, #Ultrix, OSF/1, AT&T System 3, AT&T System 5, ...

#Illumos, which came from #Solaris, which came from SunOS, is actually still around.

"What is a delay slot? Well, back in the day it was considered cool to expose your CPU's pipeline to the world. Just kidding, it was just a way to save some more transistors."

"The CPU has a register called, literally RANDOM which is supposed to be constantly incrementing, every cycle."

Effective speed about 1MHz - compiles hello world in 2 mins .

Screenshot of Ultrix desktop showing several applications, one being Paint, and in the Paint window we see a hand-written Hello Ultrix!

Also visible a DECterm showing a directory listing and a DXconsole showing UWS v4.5 and Welcome to micro-MIPS.

#introduction

#hello people. Ståle from Norway. I've been doing tactical and strategic #infosec and #irt in #HigherED for the last seven years. It all started with a bunch of diskettes and c.o.l.a. in 1993, and since then I've worked as a sysadmin. Mostly unix-es, but also Windows. This includes project management, #monitoring, #architecture, designing an #operations center and touching a bunch of technologies over the years. I still code a little #shell and #python. Been using #cfengine and #tivoli with a smile.

A memorable moment still is opening 7 xterms and compiling X11R6 for #sunos #solaris #hp-ux #ultrix #irix #linux #digitalunix and managing the configuration and security of tons of servers and clients centrally. This must have been 2000 or so.

These days I tend to like logging and #siem frameworks like #elk, teaching users and management how to make smart choices, general config management and hardening, IAM-stuff and the essential symbiosis between #sysadmin stuff and infosec stuff. #isms. #policies. #architecture.

I also like #photography #lego #rpg #larp #cooking #politics #society #emacs #languages #puns. A lot nicer than the picture. He/Him.
