@MsDropbear42 well, i've spent some time now researching #OpenIndiana, via these sources if anyone's interested:

though i was tempted to d/l an ISO & give it a burl anyway in a VM, i've decided not to, & thus to end the brief contemplation of this as my possible escape route. based on the research i picked up a strong vibe this would not much suit me; OI is really aimed for server rather than desktop usage, despite it having an old MATE DE out of the box. it has a tiny community, no GUI pkg manager, questionable security against contemporary standards, & i would hold grave doubts of being able to acquire most of my important pkgs from its repos, which would be the only recourse coz, eg, i would very much doubt apps like FirefoxNightly, GnuCash, KeePassXC, RustDesk et al make variants for this non-Linux system. overall, it feels like a massive trip into the past.

The fediverse is nice people and great tech, with a marketing problem.

@futurebird There don't seem to be a lot of horologists active on the fediverse, so I don't get to talk watch too much! (Although I'm more of a clockmaker than a watchmaker).
Do you machine parts? Or do you repair old mechanisms? I knew a guy who made clocks out of paper. Just paper, they were not very good at keeping time but that they worked at all astonished me.
