[9fans] x11: cursor on a 4k screen

[Mark van Atten]

Is there a way to increase the cursor size when using a 4k screen under x11?

Mark.

Re: [9fans] notes on fossil, ANTS, and 9front/Bell labs controversies

using tlssrv is an option, as is import, but what was saying it fossil’s native 
9p server does not support tls, which it doesn't - i dont believe anyone has 
added it.

the issue is 9boot would need tls to be able download the kernel from a file 
server and it doesn’t have it. this is the labs boot procedure of course.

9front booting uses a full kernel to bootstrap (correct me if i am wrong) so 
tls is not a problem there.

anyway, fossil does not have tls and i would like to have. such a change would 
mean changes to the labs distro boot proceedure

i'm sorry, what? lack of TLS?

go read 9front's tlssrv(8). it's been there for a while already.

Re: [9fans] notes on fossil, ANTS, and 9front/Bell labs controversies

[Steve Simon]

fyi i have been running a fossil/venti pair since 2004 and it has been solid.

what is too big - honest question.

i thought the biggest issues are:

performance - the elegance and generality sacrifice some performance, though 
this is not a problem for me.

 lack of a tls fs interface - there is (imho) no excuse for a lack of tls these 
days.

no way for a user in (say) the ventidump group to request an immediate dump - 
handy for checkpointing a code release, though justing copying the release to a 
new dir is ok.

no way to push a vac score into the /archive hierarchy - nice for migrating in 
other backups.

all these are fixable and on my todo list but none have happened.
