  1. Plan 9 enthusiasts: I have released a wasm interpreter for plan 9, allowing you to easily run non-native wasi CLI tools on p9. It can also "package" wasi programs to run like native apps, the same way you do for RC. It is totally not just a frontend for wazero.

    Try it here! -> github.com/SlashScreen/ricket

  2. Many interesting programs are not implemented in C, but the scripting language rc. This shows that the filesystem abstraction (everything really IS a file) is indeed very powerful.

  3. Acme is NOT the standard text editor, but it's still very nice. Having multiple windows makes it better than ed, at least.

    Everything is just a click away.

  4. 9front provides many useful kernel devices as files. No symlinks, no hardlinks, just files. You can throw words at them.

  5. Plan 9 comes with graphical capabilities instead of relying only on the keyboard. It has a clean user interface.

  6. Did you ever want to forget about your data? Cwfs is there for you.

    Automatic dumps every night, broken blocks here and there, lots of fun.

  7. As you may know there's a clone of this content on #pixelfed. Since there are not many likes there and most fedi-action is on mastodon I thought about removing it. What do you think? Should I keep posting on the Pixelfed #9front account?

  8. #9front is very modern. You can even generate QR codes without searching for generators.

    And you can have fun if you don't have the right fonts ☺.

  10. Most operating systems like their users. We don't need users. Just no. Go away.

  11. Latest release: 9front emailschaden. The release was already some time ago, but this account is new so it's fine.
