I have just one question. Is this concern of 9front code making its way into the codebase of Plan 9 based on reality? Is there evident cause for concern? The 9front developers develop 9front. Plan 9 from Bell Labs is not being developed, so there’s no “upstream” there is no “mainline” so there’s

[9fans] plan 9 and lisp

i’m wondering what 9fans think about lisp, specifically scheme. they’re both the powerful synthesis of simple ideas. i don’t see any mention of it as it compares to 9, but they don’t seem incompatible. personally i think they compliment each other in nice ways. i don’t have any interest in emacs,

i did think of this, but i was unsure of its compatibility with 9front. the FQA only lists two usb to ethernet adapters which did not look popular or generic when i looked them up. i will buy the most popular one and hope it works. On Wed, Nov 9, 2022 at 7:55 PM wrote: > You can use a usb to

sirjofri, thank you for the reply. don’t be sorry for the long response, i greatly appreciate it. when i was told plan 9 is built on only a few principles and basic abstractions, that was spot on. i’ve decided i’m going to make my grid at home. the only thing i haven’t figured out is networking
