Didn't you use to work for IBM? AIX is right there. Lets just get you some cosy POWER hardware for it. I'm already looking forward to the smitty modules for mastodon server mamagement.

@jerry It's been terrible in general as of late

[varx@infosec.exchange]

@jerry Not safe enough, Windows has WSL.

[bent0_b0x@norden.social]

@jerry Can't you run it on Doom?

Honestly, anyone setting up anything on an old Tandy computer has only two questions,
What? & How?

@itisiboller @jerry

Is that Revox running a Mastodon instance?

[itisiboller@infosec.exchange]

@TheLancashireman @jerry Hehe, yup!

@JoscelynTransient @jerry I love this analogy, adding to my list of horse quotes.

[antdude@mastodon.social]

@jerry more like time to stop using OSes & networks

@jerry The windows vuls are still pouring out but it's easier to hunt on linux because the source is available

[gpshewan@mastodon.social]

@jerry Someone, somewhere in a ‘C’ suite, who thinks they have their finger on the pulse, is asking a tired Tech Director that question.

Betcha.

At MS, there was a big project to unify all of the Windows-derived things. Apparently some folks had a build working that booted to WSL, with no Win32k. I did wonder how secure that would be: at the very least, I doubt there are many people who know how to attack the NT kernel via the Linux syscall interface.
