@shodansafari Mmm, a wild #plan9 host appeared! That's something not so common on Shodan Safari, nice! :)

Plan9

My summer break in 2014 had a theme of sorts, which was “back to basics”. I wanted to forget everything I could about work and fiddle with more interesting stuff – less abstraction(...)

The eerily fascinating (and hopelessly retro) Plan9 editor.(...)

I was ssh forwarding from host to #qemu VM wo realizing that #plan9 or any such mounting is BIDI is reads and writes both ways?

I have a mostly working gui for my #9front rpn calculator. I built the calculator bit as a file server that uses virtual files for the stack registers, input and mode. The gui is a separate program that interacts with the files. It’s an unnecessarily complex approach to a simple app. Learning more about #plan9 C in this process.

- "Hey Baby, Let's make our own Linux distro" next to a picture of a penguin in sunglasses and a baseball hat
- "You really ring my Bell!" next to a picture of Bell the plan9 rabbit
- "Would you like to have sex with me? (no pressure)" next to a low poly picture of tux the linux penguin on a green grid background

really happy with my werc theme! It's even responsive
!Btw if you're on the east coast and somehow this is how you learn about it, you can totally get a login to the new england user group web server, I'd really like to host some more pages here

My audio pipeline can use either #CoreAudio or #FFmpeg or #libopus for codec purposes. The biggest shock was realizing that using pipes is a lot easier than an API, and that thinking like #plan9 isn’t as crazy as it first seems.

I've made Edwood understand Markdown. Toggles between rendered view and straight text, and supports direct editing in the markdown view, including **text** to bold, etc. Not perfect, but you have the escape hatch of looking at the text.
Certainly still buggy, but now my daily driver. Don't read the code, a machine wrote it and I've only lightly audited it.

Just added to my collection: an AST Ascentia 900N with an Intel 486DX processor, a glorious 12 MB of RAM, and a working floppy disk drive in perfect working order. Barely a scratch on the thing. I removed the nickel-cadmium hibernation battery and was surprised to see very little corrosion on the pins. The laptop is in perfect working order, except for all the dead batteries of course, but running on AC power it's a fun little side project. I'm of course going to install #plan9 on it (or perhaps #os2 warp 3 since I have the original floppy disks). Any recommendations?

So, #9front / #plan9 peeps:

What exactly happened with sigrid? I've been absent from the grid for a few months and am missing context.

First day of my first time at #fosdem
Saw some interesting talks and met with people in rl i don't see so often. It was a little bit crowded but i still had a good time.
Excited for tomorrow, see you in the #plan9 devroom

Linux is married to AI hegemony. It's time for a new and better OS. Skift might become a candidate:

SkiftOS : https://skiftos.org/

It's not a *NIX!

"skiftOS isn’t POSIX. It’s a fresh API and userland inspired by Plan 9, Haiku, and Fuchsia. Familiar ideas, different contracts."

Problem: the GPL is poison. It has polluted Linux and the Linux userland software so that only large corporations can afford to monetize it. BSD License or MIT License would be much better allowing small players to produce unique work without then being forced to share their source code with the AI hegemony racket.

A dumb blog post about things I found out about #Go and #Plan9. Yay first blog post of the year!

Несколько лет использовал #vim. Потом несколько лет использовал #emacs. Потом был очарован #9front ( #plan9 ) и пользовался #acme. Потом написал свой редактор #red (напоминающий #acme), Потом решил посмотреть, что там в мире творится. Глянул #neovim. Глянул #helix.... Запустил #emacs поставил helix-theme и залип.Похоже, из этой секты уже нет выхода... :(

I've written a patchset to bring the menuless mode from Anthony’s Nile [1] to Lola. Start in menuless mode with -m, it can also be toggled in the 13 lola menu, the patches are available at

https://shithub.us/penny/lola/HEAD/info.html

This patch enables creating windows by right click and sweeping the desktop, in windows right click always plumbs and middle click always sends. When in Nomenu mode, Lola will apply Nile's scrolling behavior to all windows. That is, windows will always autoscroll if you are at the bottom of the output, but will not if you are scrolled up.

In addition, Lola offers a system menu on mouse chord 1->3 and I have added a Nomenu option to this menu to allow toggling Nomenu mode at runtime.
No special accommodations were made for tabification, however on certain themes(including simple.c, and the patched win95.c in that repo) you may right click the title bar to yoink a window for tabification and I have found this more than suitable.
Changes were made to accommodate lola's system menu, the hidden window menu on the desktop has been moved to mouse 2, and includes the Delete and Hide verbs as I think it makes sense to make them available. The "menuless" notion only really applies to the windows themselves, and the creation thereof.

While this patchset is functionality a complete port of Nile's menuless mode to lola, Nile was based on 4th edition which does not offer "look", and therefore that functionality is not currently exposed in menuless operation. I am considering options for integrating it with these patches, including offering a keyboard combination.
