Re: [9fans] sources down
Does somebody know if Russ still reads this list? I would be very interested if he still has the annotations...

[9fans] Plan 9 64-bit?
I can't remember the name of the person, but he used to work for a European research lab and had made a 64-bit version of an operating system derived from Plan 9. That operating system had some interesting features, one of which was the ability to isolate a process on a single core of a CPU. Does anyone have more details about that operating system?

i have wondered if it would be possible to apply the historic plan9 kernel diffs and regenerate these ancient kernels. no real use but it would be interesting to see the code in its context. > On 29 Dec 2018, at 10:05 am, hiro <23h...@gmail.com> wrote: > > after checking the git mirror, it turns out the change i'm interested > in must have happened before it's beginning at 2002. > >> On 12/28/18, Steve Simon wrote: >> i have a copy if the diffs russ’s web pages used, though i dont think the >> annotations are included. it lived on russ’s server i think, not the labs >> one. > > i heard from Fish also that this is available, but I'm still waiting > in case somebody might still pop up with the annotations...
Re: [9fans] sources down
after checking the git mirror, it turns out the change i'm interested in must have happened before it's beginning at 2002.

Both have been straight forward. > There are samples too. yeah, but with dp9ik around nowadays why not just use 9p access for the really inclined. somebody who doesn't even run plan9 might not need the extra security certificate vouched for by the president (of some unstable country of your chosing). please don't concentrate on the web interface's web security so much, i just want the data some way or another - primarily without web involvement.

My ISP (one of, thankfully) managed to arrange a certified X.509 certificate for a domain I have absolute control over. Since then, the web site has had its ups and down, last of which (I really can't raise enough anger to take them on) they won't let me install the certificate myself: it needs root privileges and they won't grant them to a user. Thing is, the web site has no need whatever for user security, we hold no private information, Lucio. PS: That was a bit O.T. But I bet I could run the site on a Plan 9 server...

I've heard from multiple sources that this kind of single-ended authorization isn't worth much, but I'm not so sure. My current ISP re-encrypts all data from imgur with their own certificate, which means I know the connection is being interfered with.
