  Russ Cox is an absolute legend for committing to this joke.

  In case y'all missed it in the first post, and you just want to try this out, it's working in this v86 image:https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=custom&m=768&vram=16&hda.url=ht...You can start tailscaled and tailscale inside the VM. It may take a while to come online sometimes due to limited proxy availability.Edit: alt gives you the third button. To start a terminal, hold alt and right click, select new, release alt, and right click drag to size the terminal window.

  I unironically wish there was an enterprise version of Plan 9. I've been writing most of my scripts in `rc` (something my coworkers put up with because we use nix and I can pull it in automatically with dirnev) and it has been great.

  I like the premise of the joke, but then as the explanation ran on... I suddenly became depressed. So much broken stuff, so much complexity.... to, what, make a network tunnel? If all this extra work was the joke, that would be funny.

  Great, maybe Inferno as follow up?

  God I love plan9. Making my own os using many of its principles is a retirement project life goal.EDIt: I reserve the name “chaos10” for this project, since - like SerenityOS - there will be no plan.

  wholly cow was not expecting them to patch the plan9 kernel to make this work

  Plan 9 gets tailscale before a browser! Somehow this makes sense

  This is so cool to see. Plan9 was a wonderful part of my COVID isolation, and I miss playing with it. This might have inspired me to spin up a 9front VM this weekend.

  The 9fans list had this one for April Fools:Given the huge maintenance cost of immature computer architectures such as mips, 386, arm, arm64 and amd64, we decided to put our focus on the more mature and stable achitectures:power64 and itanuim.Therefore, all architectures other than power64 and itanium are thereby frozen, conserved and promoted to end of life.

  My employer-controlled browser won't let me access that URL. At first it was cert errors and now it's just blocked.

  I do expect tailscale drive shares to use 9P in that case ;-P

  Yet I still wonder how cool things would be if Plan9 was the most popular and used OS

  Please consider RISC OS next!

  Seems like the real story here is that the Plan 9 port of Go is not particularly healthy, and that it's easier to modify an OS kernel than it is to fix Go?
