I am a test post.

If you can see this, it means I can post via the misskey API
from #plan9.

I almost hacked up my webfs enough to open a websocket connection to ws://echo.websocket.org but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it because webfs isn't really intended to be full duplex and I don't know how to write to the connection after opening it. #plan9

What alternatives are there to vultr for #plan9 hosting? The last week or two the network has been.. not great, but only for my 9front server. This one has been fine.

what are the #plan9 options for writing a simple blog that's hosted over rc-httpd? Requirements are rss feed and content written in markdown. Doesn't need to be dynamic or include comments. The only one I can think of is werc. Is there anything else?

Not porting #9front to power64 https://posixcafe.org/blogs/2024/02/26/0/

snac2 works pretty well with #9front, just keep your password in factotum. Mothra and hpost both work without having to login every time, webfs takes care of all of that.

I turned it off for security reasons, but I shall now consider my proof-of-concept rcpu over websocket implementation conceptually proven. #plan9

I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but I wrote a simple cloning protocol for my experimental bug tracker / source control thing and some documentation. Since the cloning protocol is written in rc, it can bootstrap the system. If you're a #plan9 or #9front user I'd be interested in feedback.

The install documentation is at http://code.driusan.net/pq. The usage documentation is in the man page pq(1) after installing.

The general concept is described in the link above, but basically:
1. The source control history based on bugs and patches, not trees and commits messages.
2. The system tracks bugs
3. A try is an attempt to fix a bug, described in terms of a patch
4. Every commit is associated with a bug/try and has a snapshot attached

It's currently only really useful for single-user work/management, but it's bootstrapping itself pretty well and I'm pretty happy with it as a user, but I'm also biased, so I'd be interested in having some other developer(s) play with it and give feedback.
