9FRONT (Plan 9) "Do Not Install" Released
- thaliaarchi 2y agoWhat’s the context for “Do Not Install”?
- vintagedave 2y agoThis is an excellent question and I dug around on the website looking for an answer too. I have _no idea_. Presumably, as a release, it should be installed? The website has a wonderful semi-retro esthetic, a noticeable political stance, and a sense of humour, and I wonder if the naming is related.
- mrcranky 2y agofrom the #cat-v irc channel, this is a loose reference to Three Body Problem when the trisolarans sent a message to earth saying DO NOT REPLY.
- classichasclass 2y agoIf you have to ask, you shouldn't install it. This is entirely in keeping with the philosophy of 9front.

- SllX 2y agoIt’s the release following Humanbiologics.
- pajko 2y agoIt's just the name of the release, like the choice of the names of Toy Story characters in Debian. A former release was called "don't touch the artwork".

- adastra22 2y agoProbably the same sense of humor as their release server: only9fans.org
- anthk 2y agoWireless for rpi? Which ones? I'd love one for Rpi B+. Uh, RTC for games/gba, so now games like Pokémon Emerald now can access to the internal clock?
- moody__ 2y agoThe pi3 and the pi4 have been tested to be working, I have heard that the pi0 does not quite work. And yes the RTC was written for and tested against Pokémon Emerald.
- Gualdrapo 2y agoThings would be better if Plan9 was the dominant OS.
- parlortricks 2y agoHow do you blackhole route if you cant assign a route to a non interface? Is there a null interface to assign too or something? (never used plan9 just curious)
