I’ve been using 9front for a while, and wanted to do some embedded programming on it too. There’s no gcc, so SDKs won’t work directly, no tool to flash chips with - most people would use something else. But don’t give up! Plan9 was used throughout the history for distributed computing, creating operating systems, and high-performance computing. https://tilde.club/~kitzman/posts/2023-12-28_unix_mnt_term/ Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://tilde.club/~kitzman/posts/2023-12-28_unix_mnt_term/ Introduction UNIX-like operating systems today already have solutions for file-sharing across machines, and remotely mounting filesystems. The easiest, and a pretty solid way, if a shared network filesystem does not exist, is to use sftp via FUSE. Even on Plan9, mounting a remote UNIX machine’s filesystem can be done through sshfs(4). On Plan9, when rcpu-ing to remote systems, the script exports the whole client tree, which is then mounted on /mnt/term. https://tilde.club/~kitzman/posts/2023-04-15_vac_over_gemini/ Sat, 15 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://tilde.club/~kitzman/posts/2023-04-15_vac_over_gemini/ Introduction I have a 9front cpu server, which I use for working remotely on my personal projects, build software, and keep backups. One of its uses, is for keeping vac backups of documentation. As I sometimes needed to access it, and to share it as well, importing and mounting the vac filesystems was not easily accessible, especially for someone who doesn’t want to learn to use Plan9. Gemini Serving the archives via a protocol such as HTTP or Gemini would be the preferred way for most people to access and share files.
