So are hipsters using Plan 9 or derivatives? Can someone please explain the use case beyond this? This is a real question, not being facetious. #plan9 #9front #plan9front

Does anyone in the #9front #plan9 community know what I could access the art that appears to be from this email program? It's pretty neat and I want to see If I can get a copy without the username in front. I tried to bring it into Gimp, but sadly my editing skills suck.

We found Bobby Glendys, but...

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

Thanks to everyone who sent me $18 for Bobby Glendys! The good news is that we were able to buy information about Bobby's whereabouts!; The bad news is that Bobby was last seen boarding a cargo ship headed for the Persian Gulf. Pls send me $80 so we can call the embassy in Bahrain, and save Bobby Glendys!

Bobby Glendys just sent me a picture...

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

Guys, wtf. Bobby Glendys just sent me a photo. I think he's in Iran?! I don't even know where he got that drip?? ; Play time is over! Bobby has missed 3 days of 9front school already. I found this ex-KGB guy on Facebook, he says he can help us get Bobby Glendys back. Pls send me $4.000, so we can pay him.

Bobby Glendys is the worst child I ever babysat

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

So.. um.. Bobby Glendys somehow made it to Arrakis, and he convinced the local tribals that he's some kind of a 9front prophet. ; We need, uh, like, 900 trillion dollars to... uh... build a space ship.. fuck. That boy has been nothing but trouble. I don't need this shit. Where even is his mother?

WOOHOOOO

KnightOS SDK, on Plan9, can now build the kernel, compile userspace binaries, annnnnd write a file system into the ROM and emulate it!

I've got a hello, world in asm being written to the filesystem as /bin/init, and the emulator is dumping the output as braille to the console

(KnightOS is a UNIX-like operating system for TI calculators. I've almost got a fully working build system on 9front, just need to flesh out a few more bits of the SDK

...and then port them back over to Linux so I can kill the garbage we've been using there)

So, #9front / #plan9 peeps:

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

#plan9 people, are you aware of any #Lisp implementation for Plan9/9front? Simple search didn't turn up anything for me. But there must be Lisp for 9, because... there's always some Lisp for any system! Anything I'm missing?

Actually, there's aa (https://git.sr.ht/~ft/aa), but it seems wildly incomplete. So any pointers on more complete systems is appreciated!

As an excercice on #plan9 I am trying to write a basic text editor in C. Sofar I can open a file and read it into a biobuffer, then print it to the console by writing to /dev/cons file. That works fine. Now I am struggling to clear the console before writing, so that I have only the intended text, which I can edit and then save by reading /dev/cons and saving it to the original text file. Not sure if this makes send nor if this is the #plan9 way of coding. Any suggestions?

Question for #9front users. Can you print to a networked printer ? I suspect not as I'm struggling to find any references to it.

#Plan9 feels a litt bit like an alternate take on Unix from a parallel world, a better world in many ways. However, somewhat impractical in this reality.
