    I was correcting the user's "plan9" comment. It's a port of a collection of plan 9 userspace to a non-9 operating system. Perhaps you've now learnt something GG

    Sorry, you're not trying hard enough to find bad cases of terrible professional software. Besides, the article reads like a noob using xcode for the first time.

    True. I'm in rural UK. Blessed with fast fibre. However if the power goes out, it's a proper blackout. I'm slowly sorting out the ups situation along with nut When the power goes o…

    Not S3, but I use longhorn to store persistent data on my clusters. Sometimes you'll need admin skills, but only if you spread your cluster out over availability zones or poor conn…

    In two aspects only 1. Everything is a file. 2. A command does only one thing well There's no init, fstab, etc etc etc. Very little of your Unix muscle memory will work.

    I've a similar story, but 35 years ago, a situation which was entirely my fault, 100cc and 'shit'. Ended up with a sore knee, bent forks and a realisation that leaning plus braking…

    No. The Kernel IS the operating system. No, the user space is (mostly) busybox, in both cases. The user interface is different sure. The fact that termux (a Debian userspace) is ab…
