> Internet Archive is a great source for "Plan 9 archeology", for example:

The problem is that it stores the web site at the time it takes a
"snapshot", in this case I suppose someone made a search of
adr.freeshell.org in the wayback machine box.

I realized that
http://adr.freeshell.org/plan9/patches/sam_label_command_riosnarf.diff
was an old broken patch, and after updating it, I found a silly
bug while porting it to 9front (just some minutes before writing
this). Two people contacted me telling me they were going to archive
it, Vester "Vic" Thacker at

https://tip9ug.jp/who/adr/

and Philip Silva.

So in the future if you are a legacy|labs user and you want to use
it, better take a peak there.

I'm deleting it because I'm not going to use 9legacy as my base
system anymore, so it will rot with time.

If you are a Labs user, the most important patch is 9front_libsec,
it'll let you browse the web at least so well as in 9front at the
time I imported the cyphers. Importing 9front's mothra and webfs
is trivial if you don't like abaco. The png fix is worthy, I haven't
find any other png decoder with this limitation.

I think the usb installation example has some value too, for me
was a pain in the...

Regards,
adr.
