What happens with the Plan 9 system after the boot camp has ended? From what I can see on that site, their Plan 9 shenanigans will end by mid-September. (SDF is NetBSD-centric AFAIK.)
That’s not too hard, given that NetBSD is a niche in a niche. But a permanent Plan 9 server account which I do not have to keep running sounds intriguing… thank you!
Serious question: you’d use that for your daily driver?

A rare sighting of a Plan 9 user! You need to be protected at all cost! Your species is extremely rare and important for future studies.
BTW for a moment I was upset, because I thought this is a screenshot of Reddit. I kinda like the old look of it.
What desktop environment is that? Or is it built in by default or doesn’t work quite similar to linux?

They got a DE built in and say GNU is bloated. Foolishness
Out of curiosity, do you use it for fun, or does it provide you with some specific features?

You explained it so well, that you actually got me interested in trying it some day.

Bottom of site: SDF Public Access UNIX System
I love this!
Edit: I just noticed this. Is this a miscalculation of the time or am I in the wrong timeline?

I wish someone would port Python and BorgBackup to it. Venti/Fossil are not quite as nice for multi-OS backups.

Venti/Fossil are awesome for a Plan 9 network. Sadly, the world isn’t Plan 9. TIL about gefs though.
I mean, leave it to us weirdos on sdf for stuff like this.
Are you on oftc?

ah. I’ve been doing linux things, but maybe i’ll try out gridchat next time i’m on 9front
Surprisingly many people don’t need the “modern” “web” for daily driving.
