I still use it from time to time, and though I agree its down at
the moment but it has been reliable for many years now.

I keep forgetting my password, and blowing away my keys locally, changing my plan 9 machine.  Net result is I never had to remember the password thanks to the convenience of factotum and other parts of the system that make it easy to avoid memorizing the password, but then I can't get back into my stuff :-)


I keep thinking one day I'll set up a public CPU server, I've got a good chunk of bandwidth available, just not a lot of time to maintain stuff.  It'd be really cool if I could just do the CPU part, and someone else do the storage :-).  

Is there an Amazon S3 based 9P server?   Just thinking out loud...
