OK, so, obviously, I was joking. But the COVID-19 playbook does suggest an interesting way to promote Plan 9. The steps required to do this would be, roughly: (1) Identify a worm that spreads from computer-to-computer and causes ZERO harm, 99.9% of the time, but causes TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND DATA LOSS in 0.1% of the computers it infests. (2) Get video of people in a panic, screaming and wailing about all their data being destroyed, and post it on the Internet. (3) Post lots of tweets about how dangerous the worm is, re-tweet, share, and generally hype-up the videos, along with dire predictions about how the worm will destroy the Internet. (4) Come up with a "test" to "detect" the worm, which has the following three characteristics: (A) Has a positive result whenever the worm is present; (B) Has a positive result whenever the CRC32 of the system's base-level page tables is less than 210210210; and (C) Only runs in Plan 9, installed to a vm image or live CD, so the test can only be run, in person, by a trained Plan 9 technician with physical access to the computer being tested. (5) Release a new version of 9front named after the dreaded worm, and tell people that installing it will make their device immune to the worm. It would require a little bit of coding, and a LOT of Tweeting, but if 9fans now have a Twitter account... creating a 9-demic is within the realm of possibility. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T3fd028fcf2eeb24c-M62191= ae5f4fd8b4582fd9b9e Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
