  • zfs

    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

    Also everyone ignores the publicly visible zfs repo/issues. Corruption https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/16631 crash/corruption https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/16626 crash https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/16623 just from this week. One of those filesystems is likely more stable than the other, not the image of perfect zfs is tiring.

  • unix-history-repo

    Continuous Unix commit history from 1970 until today

    Every extant Unix has been rewritten since the original AT&T code, Ship of Theseus style. We still consider them members of the Unix family, because they can trace their lineage directly. One could built a Git repo showing every code change from the original Unix release through modern day BSDs, if only we had granular commit info going back that far.

    In fact, it's been partially done for FreeBSD, https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo

    We could in principle do something similar for Darwin (if we had enough of the historical code), which is the core of MacOS, which is based on NeXT, which was based on BSD with a new kernel. That makes MacOS every bit a member of the Unix/BSD family as FreeBSD is.
