Or maybe that's old-school twtxt, and twtxt.net is those people who're constantly trying to coax the introverts out. ;-)

Good idea. Plan 9 sets $NPROC on boot to the number of cores, so other things can use it. mk will dispatch things in just that way.

Think of it like buying a signed print of a photo, instead of the photo itself, but the "signature" is an entry in a database and that's all you get. Still dumb.

Nobody's saying he can't write code any more (I mean, I think his code is crap and wish he'd stop, but that's another issue). But he should not be on any board, should nit be in any leadership position, should not be held up as a role model or even vaguely okay.

I can't believe it's controversial to say "somebody with a 30+ year history making women uncomfortable shouldn't be in a leadership position". That's not "cancel culture", it's just friggin' obvious.

What a terrible video. "Cancel culture" is not a thing, and when you hear someone complaining about it, 99% of the time they just don't want consequences for bad behavior.

Sure. I think search, if it's going to exist, should be the client's responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y'all do.

He's fine with gender-neutral pronouns when he gets to pick them, but insists on policing others'. The open letter calling for his removal has references.

I actually haven't yet, it's just easy enough to manually prepend the subject for now, if I skip the search URL. 🤣 I'll do it properly eventually.

This is an awful take. The issue isn't that he's cantankerous and rigid; it's that he's sexist, misogynistic, ableist, transphobic, and has a decades-long history of making women feel unsafe. This isn't "cancel culture", it's "consequences" (as is usually the case with that term).

Bell Labs has now transferred Plan 9 to the Plan 9 Foundation, who has in turn re-released all releases under the MIT license. I am *very* excited about this. 🐇🎉

At some point, for reasons I do not understand, my feed reader replaced cabinporn dot com with freecabinporn dot com, which is *not* the same thing.

I've got it running on a pair of commercial kvm providers right now (vultr and ramnode). It works on many, but edge cases can cause some issues.

Oh no, so much better than that. Worth checking out.

Hrm, that would've been csh probably, or tcsh if you were lucky. But Plan 9 uses rc, which is so lovely I use it everywhere.

Plan 9 doesn't really do text-mode pseudo-graphics at all, or even cursor addressing, on philosophical grounds.

Huh. In my feed, there is (correctly) a backslash before that . in the sed command, but twtxt.net is stripping it.

Ah, no; and there we have a good example of finger's poor discoverability! It matches my email address, though: echo a.9srv.net | sed 's/\./@/'

I don't think the pod would have to be large. Even on tilde.club and the like, with a few dozen active users, it adds to the fun.

No, totally not useful. 🤣 I mean, the finger protocol is pretty trivial, and it'd be fun to add, but doesn't replace anything you're doing.

I like finger, but outside of a shared system, the complete lack of discoverability is pretty fatal.

With the finger server specifically? No idea, it's a toy. I'd honestly forgotten I had it on until someone mentioned finger.farm and I was inspired to poke at it again.

This was macOS. I don't really use gnu. Of course, it's also not on Plan 9, the system I know best.
