Im very thankful for the good people of #OpenBSD for their software and how it has helped me professionally over the past few years.I have increased my monthly donation by 2x..it is still a modest amount... but Im confident that the money will be well spent by my friends in OpenBSD #RunBSD...

C'est moi qui ai eu la fève !

That indescribable feeling when you’ve finished something and you close all the tabs related to it

This is a great question @ekaitz_zarraga

Think about pipes.

They let you compose independent programs so that you can build complex transformations of a data stream.
The power of pipes comes from the simple and uniform interface they use: file descriptors.
But on Unix file descriptors are not that simple (see ioctl if you are brave).

Plan 9 let you do the same with file systems: you can stack a file server on top of another. This means that while in Unix you are constrained to connect programs through a data stream, in Plan 9 you can compose local services and remote ones transparently. And your local programs can access the whole stack in an uniform way.

Let me give you an example of why this could replace the shitty architecture of the Web.

Suppose you want to use a remote Meteo service.

Now you basically open the browser, visit a Web page, execute any js they want you to execute and send them your GPS position.

With Plan 9 you could export to the Meteo service a file server that let them draw on your screen and read your GPS position.

What's the advantage?

Well you compose the fs you are going to export! You can decide your GPS position by writing a file. And you can lie!

Or you can replace your screen with a fs that write on a PNG.

Or you might add an overlay fs that transparently log any request before executing it on the underlying fs.

And this is just a trivial example.

Today we use a primitive architecture to build distributed applications and you can easily see how hard is to mesh even just contents between different websites. And we let strangers execute whatever they want on our machines just because we can't think of anything better.

Plan 9 let you think better distributed architectures.

That's why I think one day a #Plan9 system will free us from this mess.

OOP: kind of a neat idea I guess it might be useful in some ca-- wait, what, stop, why are you making programming languages based on this, noooo stop god jesus christ what have you done

Ce matin, réunion téléphonique prévue.

Le client veut utiliser Skype 😬. Je leur ai FORTEMENT suggéré d'utiliser https://framatalk.org à la place.

Mais en attendant, j'ai installé Skype. J'ai l'impression d'avoir les mains sales. 😒😷

Comme je ne lui fais absolument pas confiance, je le lance dans firejail: Il accède donc à un faux répertoire perso. Il n'a pas accès à mon vrai répertoire personnel et à mes fichiers.

Dès que j'ai fini, il dégage de mon système.

You may think your Gmail account is private, but Google disagrees. Google told a judge that users have "no legitimate expectation of privacy." https://www.cnet.com/news/google-filing-says-gmail-users-have-no-expectation-of-privacy/ Proton = privacy.

Pour l'instant j'en suis là 😀
