disappointing
it should NOT take 45 seconds and 17 scripts for a page to display a chicken marinara recipe
No, I don’t want your newsletter
No, I don’t want you storing cookies
No, I don’t want your custom fonts
No, I’m not watching your auto-play video
In fact, I’m never returning to your site again.
same here! i love the simple, text-based web pages that used to be so common on the early internet. it’s all so heavy and bloated now, I hate it.
yeah? I’ve not used it, have only heard others talk about it. What did you like about it?
Thanks! I’ll have to give this a go on an old laptop.
Just absolutely ridiculous design that’s so unnecessary. We shouldn’t have to use frontends and extensions like uBlock Origin just to make the web usable.
ugh it’s so bloated, I hate the modern web. i hate that you can have an i7 with 8GB of RAM on a 500 GB SSD Arch install and it won’t matter because if you load more than 2 Firefox tabs of Twitch, YouTube, Chess.com, etc your system WILL start to choke up.
wow, so you remember what Linux was like before systemd took over. Lucky you.
never heard of phlak but have used knoppix. phlak like Slackware? I’ll have to look it up

Devine does REALLY cool stuff, I definitely recommend checking out their site 100rabbits

Anand’s plan 9 content is new and brief but he has some interesting videos and a blog:

oh nice. what distro are you on? and yeah, definitely cousins.
I started with Ubuntu in ‘08, got into OpenBSD in 2010ish, daily driving Arch these past few years, and got into plan 9 recently (2024?)
oh nice. yeah I’m in the same boat too. have you watched adventuresin9 on YouTube? ive found a few channels on YT so far that have some good content. those and cat-v have some real gems
ok but would you settle for a BSD enthusiast

working on anything interesting?
What do you think of Plan 9 from Bell Labs?
There are some FOSDEM uploads I'm still waiting on that are Plan 9 related. I plan on watching everything FOSDEM has on OpenBSD and Plan 9.
idk what your budget is here but if you're looking for someone to nudge you toward buying it:
*nudge nudge*
always nice to pick up/save old hardware. do they know what they have? have you reached out to them about shipping?
some sellers are clueless and have no idea how to do it right!
good condition?
I've read and heard millennials swap out "feel" for "think" IRL
at least that one's real, I know that for a fact
People have used "I feel..." or "If you feel..." language for decades but the widespread use now is crazy. You almost never hear "I think" language from them, it's all "I feel like..."
Thanks, slumpchogg.
For sharing such a helpful reply, I wish you many bad bitches at the crib.
the creators of plan 9 did not foresee how annoying it would one day be for the user who searches for "plan 9" content and has to sift through hundreds of unrelated music and Ed Wood posts
what helped me was learning about
$ tail -f /var/log/messages
(thanks @jcs.org for mentioning it that one time during a Garbage podcast episode!)
and disklabel
there are probably better ways but (depending on drive filesystem) they're enough to figure out:
$ doas mount /dev/sdX* /mnt
dammit. typo found, should read "literally just saw that"
why?
watched the A24 film 'Eternity' and it was good but as soon as you figure out who the bartender is you start wondering if the writers literally just that viral AITAH post from Reddit and made a movie loosely based on it
the kind of thing that has word magic on its label like "Artificially flavored with Artificial and Other Natural flavors"
"All positive bot", are you programmed to never say anything negative? Is saying something negative impossible for you?
Also, slumpchog, do you know of any good YT videos (or channels) 9front or plan 9 besides iwp9 and Andrew Gibson's "adventuresin9"? The YT keyword "plan 9" shows a bunch of junk.
