Skip was being sarcastic? Who knew???

But in answer to Steve's question, the only things I would add to Plan9 are a mail program and Web browser that I can work out how to use even in the trance-like state of supreme enlightenment that can only be achieved when one has consumed far too much gin. Apple Mail & Safari work for me, more's the pity.

Wes, i was being sarcastic in my reply to the suggestion that iCloud (or any iSplat) products should be emulated on Plan 9.

Skip, why settle for "might even be secure" while using the platform of one of the companies that makes a practice of burglarizing your information home?

Why not use something like SpiderOak https://spideroak.com/?utm_expid=14446725-7.EXfixEIwRZmffqInbsytsg.0

- which lets you keep and control the encryption keys.

Or perhaps even better, the owners of SpiderOak put out a toolkit called Crypton https://crypton.io/ that lets you roll your own.

Much as I love Plan9, only a masochist would use it for email.I agreed with
Carmack as recently as 1997: "I spent a few months running Plan9. It has an
achingly elegent internal structure, but a user interface that has been
asleep for the past decade."


patches welcome
