I guess this is where I start?

I have an X270 , I assume that's a good one?

I have a 32bit x230 and some other maybe older
thinkpads if need be.

Any #Plan9 or #9front expert on fedi? I heard a lot about it and few days ago when I spotted a new release of the 9front and there was #qcow2 #QEMU images, I started to look at it. However I never get the #rio #GUI session to work. I am starting the #VM by:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -machine q35 -enable-kvm \
    -m 2g -cpu host \
     -vga std \
    -drive "media=disk,if=virtio,file=$HOME/Downloads/9front-11952.amd64.qcow2"  \
    -netdev user,id=vioif0,hostfwd=tcp::5699-:22 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vioif0 \
    -no-reboot \
    -daemonize

my host system is #Debian #Linux running on #X11. The error message after login with glenda was not very informative though:

hjfs: fs is /dev/sd00/fs

init: starting /bin/rc
bind: #i: no frame buffer
rio: cannot open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: file does not exist: '/dev/draw'
init: rc exit status: rc 217: rio 326: display open
init: starting /bin/rc

The phone is running rio. There is a bitsy keyboard, stats and 2 other windows on the screen.

One window is a terminal pinging 8.8.8.8, the other is mothra opened to the 9front website

$A screenshot of 9front running under qemu. There's a system monitor applet "cirno?\!?" on the top left, a clock applet on the top right, and a big terminal showing some of the contents of bin, me attempting to UNIX my way through 9front (not working well, for obvious reasons), several invocations of theo(1), and finally me typing "#what am I even doing right now?\!?" in the terminal$

We found Bobby Glendys, but...

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

Thanks to everyone who sent me $18 for Bobby Glendys! The good news is that we were able to buy information about Bobby's whereabouts!; The bad news is that Bobby was last seen boarding a cargo ship headed for the Persian Gulf. Pls send me $80 so we can call the embassy in Bahrain, and save Bobby Glendys!

Bobby Glendys just sent me a picture...

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

Guys, wtf. Bobby Glendys just sent me a photo. I think he's in Iran?! I don't even know where he got that drip?? ; Play time is over! Bobby has missed 3 days of 9front school already. I found this ex-KGB guy on Facebook, he says he can help us get Bobby Glendys back. Pls send me $4.000, so we can pay him.

Bobby Glendys is the worst child I ever babysat

#unix_surrealism #9front #bobby_glendys #glenda #plan9 #lunic

So.. um.. Bobby Glendys somehow made it to Arrakis, and he convinced the local tribals that he's some kind of a 9front prophet. ; We need, uh, like, 900 trillion dollars to... uh... build a space ship.. fuck. That boy has been nothing but trouble. I don't need this shit. Where even is his mother?

@robpike sorry to bother you, but could you please confirm or debunk this theory?

Glenda is based on Pikachu.

#glenda #pikachu #plan9 #9front #unix_surrealism

it's a pokeman pikachu, just chilling with its signature 9 armband

glenda and pikacho overlayed, implying there's suspicious similarity between the two

First new release of hell for mastodon in two months is
out!

Not a lot of changes this time I've been working on other stuff but still some
good stuff!

- /search returns pages of status search results!
- /fetch returns a single status from a search, intended for loading remote
statuses by url
- /stats no longer crashes
- use ?poll="dogs,cats" status hint to create polls
- /cat displays client info if the status has one

As always releases for Mac, Linux, Windows, and Plan 9 are available on
https://hell.limitedideas.org/

So, #9front / #plan9 peeps:

What exactly happened with sigrid? I've been absent from the grid for a few months and am missing context.

So are hipsters using Plan 9 or derivatives? Can someone please explain the use case beyond this? This is a real question, not being facetious. #plan9 #9front #plan9front
