I've learning a bunch about it for no reason. It seems very impracticable, and I personally could hardly see a situation where I would ever need to actually use it, other than projects where I would just WANT to use it, like a home server. Has anyone else here messed with it?
I ran it on my VPS and local "terminal" computer for years. It's pretty comfy, I actually read the source for most of the things I used and even modified them sometimes. The software and hardware incompatibility can be a pain.
I think a lot of the ideas have ended up in suckless and Alpine. Linux has 9p support (and I think a few other OSes do to.)
The whole hardware incompatibility is the sole reason I'm not using it right now
It's nice that it doesn't have a "modern" web browser.
I found it annoying having to use the mouse so much.
I do consider making it my main os for just writing.
it doesnt work glowie
>>5 what?
>>6 many ports are rotted ive only gotten arm64 and amd64 working with it not to mention any plan9 should support hobbit its like the openbsd of plan9s without a theo to kick all the rc scriptkid engineers so its an even more twisted cnile asylum
Sure but what does that have to do with intelligence agencies.
>>8 ok (((buddy)))
you know for anyone else who wants to know the need to destroy open forums like this by making them less interesting is a long running glowieop yes go dig it up if you care enough about that hairsplitting difference i was being nice there and anyone can act like a glowie
>>10
Where do you buy your light bulbs? That's some really impressive projection.
>11 o my and here i thought you were just acting not my problem
Plan9 is to midwits what shit is to flies.
It wasn't that revolutionary back in the 90s and by now everything worth while was incorporated and improved by other OSes. I used a unix port of RC is a login shell from time to time and the networking functions in go that were taken straight from plan9 are a godscent compared to berkley sockets and that's about it.
9p is a garbage RPC binary protocol (so much for "everything is plain text") and half of rio is tardrangling some garbage about FIDs.
There's a reason why people like Drew Segfault love it so much, it's unix but le cool and enlightened. It's a treasure chest of retarded ideas that were rejected for a reason and now that people forgot about it you can larp as a computer connosseur rejecting modernity and embracing tradition (or the other way around depending on which angle you're aiming for).
It's useful to occasionally read up on it though, as with anything else.
I keep resisting the urge to wipe the linux off my laptop and go full 9tard.
I keep resisting the urge to wipe my ass off.
>>13 funny thing is dr*w is likely lurking here hes crazy
wonder what pseudonym dr*w goes under for 9fr*nt probably help to deal with his unbound virtue faggotery better
>14 i dont even know what worst gibberish than mine youre saying since you cant go try out mimosa
slightly shittyin a vm then install portable genera
and put the vip star back on midwit shit flies thread topics dont belong on sbbs /prog/ and i dont see a single sexpr of scheme on the front page of /prog/ right now
((lambda ()(define hawk (lambda ()(display (string (integer->char (+ 7 (* 6 10)))(integer->char (+ +1 (+ 10 100)))(integer->char (+ +1 (+ +1 (+ 10 100))))(integer->char (+ +1 (* +1 100)))(integer->char (sqrt 100))))))(define snek (lambda ()(hawk)(snek)))(snek)))thats much better even a cryptocnile apologia thread can be purified with a sexpr of scheme and little bit of vippers wallet dust
Drew doesn't strike me as a text/imageboard fan or a fan of anonymity in general.
i thought so too when i was reading his blog after finding him from something like sourcehut
hes not a fan of either just insane and needs to stalk those anonymous bullies
ive interacted with him on a nanoshithole about his new cnile vary original llvm.moe like language and instead of taking any warnings "went full retard" and now none of his shit gets packaged except for the only linceethe distro he uses and maybe nixpkgs but im not sure
theres many complaints by even the most unwashed slashdot like netizen about trying to install things made by him
after dealing with "devs" like this for years and dr*w somehow reaching a higher mesa of madness ive decided to not use anything written by him and ive avoided systemd so i doubt ill ever have a problem
the court is still in if hes some troll that has adapted to live in the modern virtue hell environment and isnt that serious but it doesnt do any good for the rest of us if its the case
Plan9 is NAISU
