@p @ins0mniak @PhenomX6 @sjw @splitshockvirus @jeff

this is techthread, many like it but this one is ovrs.

you are stuck in transylvanian shvthole with no interwebz. you are given choice of operating system to install, but you cannot change until you are released from transylvanian shvthole.

to complicate thvngs, assume you'll never leave transylvanian shvthole

ignore the machine, you can assume it's your perfekt machine and will have resources to install and configure. after that, you are deep into batshvt transylvanian shvthole

feel free to tag tech komrades. no hellthread antics.

i had hard problem deciding between nixos + cache store or debian. 9p may be optimal, but i'm stuck with primary two.

  oh yeah I'm probably going to run a fedi instance on SunOS when I move to a new domain too (to clear the old blocklist when I go multi user and tone down on pissing off mastodong users blatantly)

  wow great minds think alike.
  
  I need to experiment with OpenIndiana on one of my C2D laptops I got for free or something one of these days to see how well it runs. Maybe this weekend?

  That's how they work, yeah. Some assembly to bootstrap it and then you can usually do all the initialization code in Forth. People write Forth for these super tiny chips, something you can't actually do with most languages, which are huge.

  @p @sjw @jeff @SmoothOperator @ins0mniak @threat @splitshockvirus also Sun, most ibm rs/6000s, and Apple PPC hardware have a forth prompt in ROM that is highly powerful.

  9P is the wire protocol; Plan 9 is the OS.
  
  But hyperstatic global environment trumps whatever nix is trying to achieve. (Here I'd link to Ward's Wiki but he completely fucked it with JavaScript so here's a text file I scraped.) The entire on-disk filesystem has history back to the initial install, you can test software on previous versions of whatever by just mounting the filesystem from last year. You can clone the entire filesystem (with history) in under a second. The nix stuff isn't even in the same league.

  Yeah, it happens; OS gets complex, then the OS starts to ask too much of you.
  
  I think the last OS tweak I did on Plan 9 was I changed the default colors on ip/gping, it defaults to like, red for ping times and blue for %lost and that felt wrong so I would always have to do the toggle-dance to cycle through the colors.
  
  Those 5" rackmount monitors? I use one for a super low-power ARM system that exists mainly to show a drawterm full of network stuff so I can see when a box goes down (and catclock so there's an animated cat so I can see whether or not the whole thing is down). When one of them goes to 100% packet loss, it's easier to see big red box. (Text is massive because 5" monitor usually viewed at a distance.)
  
  (And it's got conky on the left because I like conky; I usually use gkrellm but conky plays better with ratpoison.)
