It’s probably a good thing I haven’t found a #fedi client for #9front/#plan9. Fewer distractions from the little games I’m trying to code.

Unintentional description of a #forth interpreter spotted on birdsite: “If I’m reading and I see an open-parenthesis symbol I stop reading right away and I do not start again until I get to a close-parenthesis symbol. There’s no way I’m reading that shit”

Was bummed to discover that #9front’s cat command didn’t support the - argument to include standard input among the file args because that’s how jonesforth and my sort of port launch a repl. After messing around with different #plan9 ish solutions, I decided to look at the source code for cat. It’s something like 30 sloc. I was able to add the functionality in four lines. Pretty cool.

Anyone here use #9front #plan9 and #sourcehut? I’m having trouble getting git/push and friends to work with my remote repos.

@ddevault hey drew! Is there a guide for using sourcehut from 9front? I’m having trouble interacting with my git repos.

@sigrid hey! I noticed you use sourcehut and plan9. I’m trying to push to a git.sr.ht repo and failing. Do you have any advice on setting up plan9 to work with the service?
