  1. Has anyone ported MESS to #plan9 / #9front yet? I'd love to be able to do my #retrocomputing development there.

  3. @rl_dane @a_corbin @tqw oh, and the OS is a custom firmware based on the Zephyr RTOS. It includes a multi-transport 9P library (which powers the keyboard comms, notably) and sports an rc-like shell. #plan9 #inferno

    An open invitation to Linux users across the board, offering a closer look at the penguin and its iceberg, a walk across the ecosystems that make it possible, an exploration beyond one’s biome.

  9. Guys, kinda serious...

    Could we just... like... reboot I.T.?

    Like, start over with the 6502 and 300 baud modems and build towards something elegant and unixy or #plan9-y?

    'Cuz what we have now is freaking horrid, and I'd totally learn 6502 assembly and how to live with 64k addressing and no floating point if it meant restoring some sanity to dis shiz, brofam.

    Well, there's a little variation in formatting because I'm copying and pasting it from the website, and some of the websites add a bunch of spaces and such. Other than that, the 3 major BSDs have slightly different histories, so it's possible that there are minor revisions of the manpages there.

    As far as #Plan9 goes, their manpages tend to be a bit on the brief-and-to-the-point side of things, and probably haven't had as many changes, as they tend to like minimalism and their own sense of tradition, I think? (Not knocking it, it is what it is, and I appreciate the uniqueness of all the various interesting OS traditions)

    And then there's debian, which packages GNU ed, and the GNU ed manpage, which is little more than a stub to make you read the Info page, which I... loathe. XD
