- tonymet 3y agoFor scatalogical humor they missed an opportunity to launch on gishub
- INTPenis 3y agoThat page loads one line at the time. I know plan9 should be very cluster friendly, can't they balance incoming http traffic load across multiple nodes?
- noobermin 3y agoThe 9front people have always been a funny bunch. I've always wanted to use plan9 tools seriously partially because of their websites and docs are so amusing but I never could get past just running it in a vm.
- throwup238 3y agoSexy time videos from the maintainers might just be what gets me to switch my daily driver to plan9! I've always felt that Linus didn't show enough skin.
- tazu 3y agoAcme is genuinely worth trying, you can run it on Linux/Mac without a VM [1]. I'm pretty sure Russ Cox [2] and Rob Pike use it as their daily driver which is insane because it doesn't even have syntax highlighting. I used it for years when I was in school as an exercise in masochism, but I learned a lot about Unix, and the mouse-driven workflow actually grew on me. I hated that it required a 3-button mouse though, made trackpads basically unusable.

- jxy 3y agoMacbook trackpads work fine combined with control/option/command as three buttons. I put the metal screen for devdraw together initially. It should work similarly on X11, though I never tried.
- rhinoceraptor 3y agoThat's not an accident, Rob Pike famously hates syntax highlighting, he's derided it as "childish" on multiple occasions.
- pcl 3y agoWow, that reeks of arrogance.
- knorker 3y agoI don't think Pike ever gets accused of arrogance being off brand for him.
- DEADMINCE 3y agoMore than "made by people who avoid browsers" does?
- cjk2 3y agoI'm not that far behind him but on the basis that syntax highlighting is sometimes completely wrong. That leads to a lot of head scratching when it turns out the highlighting engine is wrong and the code is not. Of course this is because a lot of the engines use naive regex to do the highlighting rather than a parser. Calling it childish is a little wrong though for sure.
- anthk 3y agoIt runs well natively; but for older systems, I'd suggest running this first once you get an internet connection before inst/start: % webfs % ramfs % hget http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/rc/mountcwfs >/tmp/mountcwfs % chmod +x /tmp/mountcwfs % bind /tmp/mountcwfs /bin/inst/mountcwfs Then, at preppart: > d other > d fscache > d fsworm > a fsmain [first free cylinder] .+100% > w > q
- jdougan 3y agoCould always just try Inferno
- zilti 3y agoThat hasn't seen so much as even a patch in years
- worthless-trash 3y agoYeah but it is fire.
- 0xpgm 3y agoI wonder what the original plan9 designers ken thompson, robe pike etc think of the 9front people. Maybe find them amusing - or happy to see their creation being pushed forward
- tazu 3y agoFigured it was HN hug of death, saw "9front", immediately made sense.

- 082349872349872 3y agoIt desperately needs that zine no-halftone-screen* look. No mention of central scrutinizers or catholic school girls, either. I've never colon-q'd something so fast in my life. Like, gag me with a spoon. * the halftone screens are not for use with tobacco or legal herbs. EDIT: referring to parent's mention of https://9front.org/propaganda/ https://9front.org/propaganda/
- amne 3y agoYou made me google "no-halftone-screen". I'm lost!
- 082349872349872 3y agohttps://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/pdf_publications/pdf/atlas_halftone.pdf https://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/pd... when you used analogue b/w reproduction to produce a 'zine, continuous-tone images would be badly posterised unless you used screens to halftone them
- lupire 3y agoScreens as in physical filters. It's a paper printing semi-analogue process to solve the problem (not enough colors, need to simulate colors spatially) that that semi-digital electronic screens use dithering for. It's dual to "anti-aliasing", where we use an abundance of colors to simulate missing spatial resolution.
- amne 3y agoI can't do anything on my own comment. I don't know why it got flagged tho. Don't people read hacker news? Wasn't there an article yesterday or so about CSS discussions around "masonry" layout options to be added to grid or flex or whatnot? If you're ignorant move on I guess.

- mastazi 3y agoIt's currently down but someone archived the page 1 hour ago https://archive.is/cBwU1 https://archive.is/cBwU1
- swores 3y agoArchive.today (/ .is / .ph - though .is has been failing to load for me the last few weeks, I assumed it was a dead domain until your comment) is great for sharing an offline, or paywalled, article or single page. But for full websites that are more than a single page, the IA's Wayback Machine is even better (if they've got the site archived), because unlike archive.today they crawl links and archive (some of) them too - so for example you can click on links such as "user guide" or "what we want" and see the archived versions of those pages, whereas if you click on them from the archive.today page it hasn't saved them so it tries and fails to do it now. https://web.archive.org/web/20240430041911/https://only9fans.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20240430041911/https://only9fans...
- sammyteee 3y agoIIRC they had issues with a specific DNS resolver - I want to say Googles?
- swores 3y agoI think it was Cloudflare but you might be right that it was Google - either way, I'm just using default DNS from my ISP, and only had issues for the past few weeks (and only with that one domain, .is not the others - while iirc the known problem with one major DNS provider was due to some choice of DNS setting that means all archive.today domains are affected not just one/some.)
- philsnow 3y agoNo matter which upstream DNS you use, if you have a local resolver, you might be able to configure it to resolve archive domains with google's dns, which has consistently worked for me for years. If you use dnsmasq (either bundled inside pihole or not), this line in its config will make it use google dns to resolve archive.is and archive.ph: server=/archive.is/archive.ph/8.8.8.8 I started using blocky instead of pihole recently, and I have this in my blocky config.yaml to do the same thing: conditional: fallbackUpstream: false mapping: archive.is: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 archive.ph: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
- benob 3y agoIs anyone running 9 as a daily driver? What hardware is suggested?
- deaddodo 3y agoYou can run plan9 on any hardware that supports x86, VESA and has a nominal (32MB) amount of memory. It's not a complex system and doesn't really leverage any hardware acceleration, so you don't gain too much from specific hardware, beyond a supported Ethernet card. That being said, I don't know anyone that daily drives it, beyond maybe a few members of the team itself.
- benstigsen 3y agoNot daily, but I remember reading quite a bunch about plan9 on the HundredRabbits website. That's how I was introduced to the OS. Found a minor mention of it on the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20221114163056/https://100r.co/site/setup.html http://web.archive.org/web/20221114163056/https://100r.co/si...
- edm0nd 3y agowebsite that cant even handle 9 visitors
- ori_b 3y ago(shithub admin here) We ran out at probably over a thousand concurrent accesses. Not much, but it is served with a shell script on a pretty small dual core vultr node. For whatever reason, it seems like a few months ago we also attracted the attention of some poorly behaved spiders and script kiddies, so at the moment we're serving a quarter terabyte per month on average (not including the HN bump).
- giantg2 3y agoOnlyHaters is an interesting idea, and it seems it actually exists.
