Předmět: [9fans] Throwing in the Towel

All,

It has taken almost 15 years, but fossil has finally managed to chew
through a second set of SSDs and I just don't have the heart to feed
it a third. As of last night, I backed up my venti store, dutifully
recorded vacs, and deracked the equipment.

I first encountered Plan 9 while working for Coraid in 2010. I can't
express how grateful I feel for the opportunity to have worked with
Coraid, the remaining few folks at Bell Labs, and even squeezing in a
few patches before everything was shut down. In the intervening years
my D525's have hummed along happily, long after I moved on to other
pursuits.

I've never had much of a presence on 9fans, but I've always been one
to keep an eye on the list and I wish everyone success. If 9p.io ever
comes back online, I've stuffed everything I could into my contrib
directory.

Take care,
Steve
