I wouldn’t allow the passive-aggressive mood that surfaces here from time to time to turn me off the project. That said, I’m fascinated by how often (and how quickly) some threads devolve into “there is no point in doing that” or “we don’t need those modern contraptions” arguments - reminds me

Re: [9fans] What are you using Plan 9 for?

I’m late to the thread, but this seems like a good point to step in. I’m using plan9 on a quad-core Raspberry Pi as a sort of universal terminal to manage some of my home machines, and recently deleted the 9front VM I had on my home KVM server because even though the programming model and Go sup

They’re still under the same baseline SoC constraints (plus the USB bus). Biggest constraint for me is the lack of RAM, though. R. > On 5 Apr 2018, at 23:13, hiro <23h...@gmail.com> wrote: > > "The Python performance with this new Raspberry Pi 3 is now in line > with the Pine A64. > While the

Jehanne is something I’ve been keeping track of, in hopes that rio gets nicer defaults. You should write more about it. :) I’ve been toying with the notion of hacking a nicer (for me) visual theme, but lack of time prevailed. But I will move my Pi to 9front as soon as possible... R. > On 11 Fe

Re: [9fans] RasPi why?

Actually, there has been a trend towards standardising the device tree, and I can run ARM5 binaries on an ARMv7 without hassles. The jump to ARM64 does have some constraints, but I haven’t come across anything significant yet (at least on Linux). And you _will_ have ARM laptops (in volume) very

Re: [9fans] RasPi why?

There’s a fair amount of FUD here. The light sensitivity was fixed with a new component run (and, incidentally, is not specific to the Pi, you can take out other exposed electronics/computers with a flash), and the reliability pretty much became a non-issue since the Pi 2. People buy Pis becaus

Re: [9fans] RPI faq in words of one syllable?

Before anyone chimes in to say “just read the docs”, I did that back in early 2016 as a complete newbie to Plan9 and spent a _long_ while hunting down stuff - not on the hardware and purchasing side (I have too many Pis and Arduinos for that to even register), but on the OS and config side. Fl

That reminds me. Weren’t there some Inferno ports for micro controllers, along the lines of the Arduino variants or their industrial counterparts? R. > On 30 Dec 2017, at 13:41, James A. Robinson wrote: > > Some folks did put Inferno onto an Android phone: > > https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/0
