the main issue is that Sun did not fully open source everything in the first place. there are quite a few binary blobs that still exist, even today. this is not a thing with BSD or Linux.
beyond that, Solaris is just a clunky, slow and bloated system. almost all of the good ideas from Solaris have been reimplemented elsewhere in some form or another.

@mcc can't we all just be POSIX Pals?

@ariadne @whitequark @mcc I found it mostly just incredibly stable, predictable and well-documented. The man pages were top notch, and the system felt properly engineered. But it has definitely aged a lot and most Solaris distributions nowadays import lots of Linux and FreeBSD tech.
Sun not open-sourcing everything was partially legal reasons with 3rd party contractors holding the copyright, e.g. with i18n code. And then Oracle came and put a nail in the coffin.
But yes, most of the ideas of Solaris live on, be them SMF (upstart, launched, systemd) or ZFS (Btrfs). Like most of Sun tech, Star Office being LibreOffice now, Sun Java, etc.

@Gina polyester is ok for repelling water, but it's a terrible insulator and doesn't allow your skin to breathe, so you just get itchy and sweaty despite not actually being warm. Look for 100% wool instead! Ideally a wool overcoat - the length works against both rain and wind and wool is so good that you don't even need a thick/heavy one.
It's even better for bedding because it regulates rather than just cooks. So a wool duvet is good all year round, cooling you in summer and warming in winter.

Anche stavolta parteciperò alla Marcia della Pace Perugia-Assisi. L’ho fatto tante volte, fin dai tempi della FGCI. Poi, negli anni, con i figli piccoli, figli di noi che stavamo diventando

"Amore è un termine troppo debole". Probabilmente #DianeKeaton non avrebbe voluto essere ricordata solo come "la musa di #WoodyAllen". Ma quando sei la protagonista di un #film così, scritto per te come la citazione iniziale, con uno dei finali più belli della storia, è inevitabile.
