I keep forget= ting my password, and blowing away my keys locally, changing my plan 9 mach= ine. =A0Net result is I never had to remember the password thanks to the co= nvenience of factotum and other parts of the system that make it easy to av= oid memorizing the password, but then I can't get back into my stuff :-= )


I keep thinking one day I&#= 39;ll set up a public CPU server, I've got a good chunk of bandwidth av= ailable, just not a lot of time to maintain stuff. =A0It'd be really co= ol if I could just do the CPU part, and someone else do the storage :-). = =A0

Is there an Amazon S3 based 9P server? =A0 Just thinkin= g out loud...
