Wonderful Idea. When I don’t understand something in FQA I end up at 9p.io. I’m also tired of going back and forth from Openbsd to Plan9 just for a browser or some documentation. This may be ignorance on my part. It appears older documentation exists on the 9front install. It would be nice is FQA was installed in the doc section on a 9front install. Perhaps it doesn’t matter because after all it is a reflection of the manages.
Mothra does handle browsing to 9p.io and 9front.org so that is nice. I’m really trying to make that jump and install it native. But i’m just not ready.
If you read all of the documentation which appears to be a lot than some of the questions asked are supposed to become obvious. But honestly that is not where my brain is at. Too many years in BSD or Linux. Plan9 is simply very different and requires a very different mindset. At the end of the day when I have time to learn plan9 i’m already tired and making dumb mistakes.
Mail was kind of a pain to setup for me. I made two elusive credentials and the "open /ipmas/asdf.asdf" and "upas/fs” much more difficult then it should have been. I made it more difficult and I recognize that.
I feel like we need more documentation on how to use the system. Like a day to day thing. I recall watching a video of someone who made the port of plan9 to ARM for raspberryPi. I really got to see it in action and how one person would use
and work with this strangely wonderful OS.
There is a link on 9p.io about Expanding your grid.
https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Expanding_your_Grid/index.html
I’m kind of stuck at Level 2 and champing at the bit to actually ‘srv’ files between different CPU/Auth’s. This Plan9 really makes certain tools like ssh and or other protocols a joke. Why are more people not using this. Well the learning curve is too fucking high i don’t believe it was a browser that halted this progress. It was the documentation.
