I do have some plans for videos on programming. I'm not really big on porting over Unix stuff. It is kind of a downgrade. A lot of Unix stuff is horribly bloated now, and Plan9/9Front native stuff is more fun.
@@adventuresin9 In general I'm right there with you, and I believe the vast majority of modern things would be too much of a chore to make it worthwhile. It has served me as a useful step in getting some of my simpler code running on plan9 before porting it correctly however, and it is a pretty neat part of the Plan9 ecosystem and history overall.
I'll probably touch on APE. I'll also be doing a demo of a program using Sigrid's NPE. If you know of a simple Unix program that plays nice with APE and will just compile straight across, I could use it as a demonstration.
There has been some people working on talking to GPUs, ua-cam.com/users/livez8ZPgQR1IVc?t=11718s I don't do much with 3D graphics, but am interested in using GPU as co-processors for various tasks.
(Plus, drawterm literally does no local computation so having a decent $cpu is so handy - especially if you're an odd duck like me and run a ZFS-backed file server)
I use drawterm a lot, so having a dedicated cpu server is great for that. It is also great for software development, if I make buggy software, I can just reboot the cpu server without worry.
I know 9Front can do that with another ssh server, using sshfs. There are some ssh server for 9front/Plan9 projects out there. People also just try to do things like using fuse to mount 9P from a Plan9 server. This sort of divides projects on whether Plan9 should speak ssh, or should the foreign system speak 9P.
Good ole' Plan9. It's been a while since I've seen it.

Didn't even know I could manually sort those. Learn something new everyday! Let me know how the new sort works for you.
@@adventuresin9 looks good to me, thank you.

I know someone working on a sort of reverse drawterm. A "drawcpu". Where it runs apps on a non-9front machine and displays them on a 9front terminal.

Hoping this pace of video drops keeps up, I'm loving this. Just curious, are you planning on doing any content on APE and porting unixey stuff?

I looked up PLan9 back in the day and its Bunny Mascot. That's about as far as I got with it.
It still has the bunny mascot. But most people are using the fork from 9front.org/ Also, the person who did the bunny mascot also did the Go gopher.
Really enjoying these, thanks!
Love your content bro, really good work.
Thanks for these videos. Have you considered maybe doing a video comparing Plan 9 to Sun's Spring operating system at some point?
I don't know much about Sun Spring, so not likely. There is some overlap with the 9Front grid I'm setting and the Sun Ray system.
Nice concept.
Would be interesting if I could fine tune or LORA tune a LLM using this, but I guess the toolsets (and GPU supports) are missing on 9Front.

Idk building on a really thin client I always rcpu, or anything intensive with WiFi

Excelent video, i love these videos.
Is there a way to set plan 9 as sftp server using ssh?
I know 9Front can do that with another ssh server, using sshfs. There are some ssh server for 9front/Plan9 projects out there. People also just try to do things like using fuse to mount 9P from a Plan9 server. This sort of divides projects on whether Plan9 should speak ssh, or should the foreign system speak 9P.
i feel like this is just the equivalent of ssh and x forwarding tbh
From a users point of view, it is very similar. For developers, it is done using way less code with way more flexibility.
