At some point in my ancient OS hobby project interests, I'll have to cycle back to #OpenVMS. I had a dream last night where a DEC Alpha desktop was in an office. I should either do something with the two DEC Alphas and the Itanium blade I have in a storage space, but the VMS community license ended.

I've been playing around with #OpenVMS for the past two days now, and I gotta say, it's pretty cool.

I have had to get over some Unix-isms in order to understand how to navigate the environment, but I think I'm gonna keep this virtual machine I got.

Too bad it's not #FOSS, though about 20 […]

This lunchtime I have mostly been doing battle with a scsi2sd device, and trying to get my microvax to boot from it as a CDROM.

It's a useful device, but the GUI was obviously put together by the same person who designed and knew the hardware inside out, and the documentation is almost […]

#COBOL is a bizzare language, but fun! It shines as a sort of batch language, which is what it's designed for, and #openvms works like the IBM big iron and has a batch scheduler baked in that makes more sense than JCL #code

Sundays are for doing things that really serve no practical purpose...like playing #OpenVMS <3 I wish it served a practical purpose. I would LOVE a job managing a VMS cluster. But those job are far and few.

I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NIGHT OF HAVING #OPENVMS DREAMS BECAUSE I FELL ASLEEP READING DOCUMENTATION AND EVERYTHING WAS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IM ONE OF THOSE RARE FREAKSHOWS WHO CAN READ IN HIS #DREAMS. Caps is an old skool convention, but fun.

LOL. Okay. Enough about #JDvance little microscopic balls his wife is still trying to find. I'm doing more #pascal with #openvms which is super cool because there is this calling library, called starlet that is baked into the OS, that lets you really, super, and I mean easily interact with the […]

With my #openvms shenanigans, I need a good file transfer utility. Filezilla is so....IDK. I've never liked it. But a seriously BEAUTIFUL #tui app called termscp is SICK! When you copy, it has one of those hacker movie terminal progress bars. It's a really beautiful app. Go support veeso!! #FOSS […]

#openvms is such a fun, screwball #os once you kinda get a feel for it you're like "wow. This is cool" but it's sorta like #plan9 it's so cool you don't know what to do with it. I know VMS ran a ton on things back in the 80s and 90s. The University of Wyo had big ol' VMS machine.

#openvms is really my #plan9 (although I plan on playing with plan 9...that was so alliterative. I'm awesome). But VMS measures it's uptime in DECADES. Longest running VMS cluster was 17 years. But it's one of those OSes like Plan9 that needs a modern killer app. I mean VMS has a larger user […]

I have been tinkering with #VSI #OpenVMS V9.9-2 for X86.

Yes, that's right

Not AXP or the #VAX architecture, not even SihM.

But for (more properly) x86-64/AMD64

Just installed Python for OpenVMS with #wheels too 👍

(Obviously I sshing into the system after getting OpenSSH working under V9.9-2😁)

El 17/Nov/1858 se establece como tiempo base (la forma que un SO manipula rutinas y el despliegue de la fecha en el sistema) para el OpenVMS. Es decir, para este SO, el inicio del tiempo es esta fecha. El final de este ciclo para el OpenVMS es el año 2315

... y hablando de las VAX, el 25 de octubre de 1977, se lanza el OS OpenVMS, de DEC, especializado en servidores y mainframes, que al día de hoy en su versión más moderna sigue vigente en el mercado, y pionero por tener una interface gráfica.

Two fucking years later - I STILL have not got a OpenVMS enthusiast license

And I have applied three times.

I find it interesting to see that #OpenVMS still comes with #BASIC. And unlike my MVS 3.8 setup, this is not a retro OS, but the latest version.

In fact I was surprised to see that this OS is still heavily used at financial institutions, healthcare, manufacturing and telecom.

Issuing a Ctrl/P will result in the system responding with the prompt "Crash? (Y/N)". Typing a "Y" causes the sytsem to crash #OpenVMS
