@breakfastgolem rare to find peppy Dr. And mr. Piss going head to head in the same machine
@hightither @foggy so I guess it was IP not HTTP, and it was an April fools joke, but they implemented it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers?wprov=sfti1
@hightither @foggy they did http over pigeons for a paper as I recall
Turns out there was a problem updating ssh.c and that was causing my issue. #9front mailing list was v helpful.
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”
@glassnerves what’s that file browser?
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.
