Plan9

So I'm kind of using 9front for the first time and I really like it. It's really quite a simple operating system. There has certainly been a learning curve coming from Linux and BSD, but I'm getting there. Just need to set up Mail, Faces and an IRC client next.

So far I've just edited the theme, set up a couple functions, customised my riostart, edited the winwatch source code to reduce the padding etc. Everything I've done is pretty much in the acme window.

I've connected to the 9p VPS through rcpu which I find much better than using draw term. Although I suppose I'll need to use draw term to complete challenge two, set up faces for neinbook.

I'm hoping to learn how to edit the main right click menu so I can add launch commands for acme and netsurf. I also would like to edit the new window command to enable -scroll in all new windows. Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

I'm just curious if it would be possible to port rbw to 9front?

Just a screenshot. Drawterm into a local VM, rcpu into 9p.sdf.org. Outertheme: sand.theme inner theme: nordy.theme applications: stats(custom colors), winwatch (custom colors), 9weather, tacme, theme patch by sigrid

It's starting today, I just found out. The stream begins in 1.5 hours. https://twitch.tv/sdfpubnix

Looks like it’s good to go in April next year.

thedaemons.space log So I entered the #occ old computer challenge this year and used the 9front fork of plan9 to do all my computing. You can read about it here. I haven't actually finished the log, gotta add more artwork and screenshots :) But the words are there mostly..

Lemmy uses the packages olowe.co/lemmy (source), which provides a io/fs filesystem interface to a Lemmy instance, and 9fans.net/go/acme to interact with acme. What you get is an Acme Mail inspired program for Lemmy. As you can see, it's a work in progress!

But it's been fun so far. Sorry that this isn't running on Plan 9 (running on OpenBSD). I'm on the road at the moment and don't have a way to connect to a server right now!
