Alright, I give up. Dear Fediverse #retrocomputing folks, I've been looking for a SPARCstation IPX or IPC for quite some time; anyone around who'd be willing to sell one? Preferably within Europe (I've found one offer on eBay, but it would be from the US and I don't have any confidence in overseas shipping right now.)
P.S. I'd be even happier about a SPARCstation IPC or SLC, but those are literal unobtanium
P.P.S. LX/SPARCclassic (any lunchbox) are also fine

14-year-old Heman Bekele developed a revolutionary soap that reactivates immune cells to fight skin #cancer, inspired by memories of people working under the harsh Ethiopian #sun.
His #invention costs just $0.50 to produce compared to $40,000 cancer treatments, and he's now working at Johns Hopkins to bring it to underserved communities worldwide.

"Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison"
I'm guessing this quote is pretty famous. Here's a good presentation by Bryan Cantrill about the history of SunOS, Solaris and OpenSolaris, up to the point that Oracle tried to kill it and illumos happened.
