They all have wtf bugs. Think "JIT errors causing string concats to yield number objects and bitwise operators to fail when the code has run over 1000 times"-level wtf. I consider …

Yeah, it probably has full-time 4WD with a viscous clutch at center - when you turn, your axles lock, and 3 out of 4 wheels will have to slip to let you get anywhere. This will cau…

Audi Quattro is great, although IIRC, it also eats a bit tires on tight turns like anything but an open diff would. I also like the viscous clutch on the jeep, although it definite…

This definition is broken. You have 4WD if you have 4 driven wheels (and unless you count the spare, that's all my wheels). Then, you can have a multitude of differential configura…

That won't do anything when it comes to encrypted sends. ZFS supports disk encryption without a hitch. I wouldn't recommend using LUKS, though - leave it to the built-in support.

To some extend, yes, it is 'bigoted'. Someone needs to stock shelves, and someone with a lower education from Eastern Europe might be more willing to do it. Hell, I wouldn't be sur…

Which is a great thing, as we can then focus on what matters/we care about. Normal people are annoying, and tend to be demanding. :)

What's your definition of embedded? It's not embedded if you're running a full blown OS on a regular ARM chip. Anyway, you could make a ramdisk, put things in it and put it in your…

No, I was talking about WAN, not LAN. (Note that 9front's fork of drawterm is a lot faster than the normal version - a regular drawterm can be a bit slow) I am not located in the U…

A thing I forgot to mention: this means that if you "cpu" into another host, you can run text based commands, but you can also start the browser, mothra, or even doom in the same w…

devdraw, which is more of an X equivalent than curses, but oh well. Again, the vt terminal emulator is available if you want vim over ssh.

What you lose is VT escape sequences, a hack to try to make TUI's when there was no alternative. In Plan9, your terminal windows naturally transition to be fully fledged GUI's when…

Yes. For remote control, drawterm (a client to "cpu" into a plan9 box from a non-plan9 box) can even make the GUI feel local over poor connections (except if you try to play doom o…

The 9P protocol is designed to deal with arbitrary blocking, as synthetic filesystems commonly block reads until some data is present. There are also automatic reconnection proxies…

It doesn't put more trust in the network than NBD or NFS does. You don't access your root filesystem over a 3G connection or a flakey VPN on any platform. But, if you mount a remot…

You are referring to "popups" (that is, if a site by itself opens a new window/tab, not if you open a link in a new tab).

MirageOS is a unikernel framework - not a general purpose OS.

You can label whatever group you find yourself in to be "us", and the rest as "them", but they're no different than you. You're just being selfish in valuing your life more than th…

I have no one labelled as "my own", at least not in the nationalist/patriotic sense. My family and friends my go into that category if we really must, but that's it. If you put a g…

It doesn't matter which army is battling me, whether it is Russian, Chinese or American. They will have no problem killing me, because that's their job, and there is war. Dancing o…

There is no "them" or "us". "They" are just people. They are rarely even people that we disagree with - they're innocent civilians that were unlucky and lived in what turned into a…

I understand this point of view, and this was also my usual approach. The reason I stopped was that the result was unmanageable systems. If you wanted to change something that you …

*If you're writing an EVIL application, that is.

As a developer, and occasionally of the kernel variant, I also prefer to keep the OS stock. It's convenient, and allows for very speedy reinstalls. It also makes my environment ide…
