[9fans] IWP9 Website troubles

2025-03-24 Thread Willow Liquorice
Hello, Just thought I'd mention that my browser does *not* like connecting to the IWP9 website. It's complaining about the site doing an "old-style (potentially unsafe) handshake" – SSL_ERROR_UNSAFE_NEGOTIATION. Is this a quick fix on either end? - Willow

For anyone interested, you can find the 3GPP specs and reports on IMS through their (somewhat cursed) web portal: https://portal.3gpp.org/#/55936-specifications I'd poked around in them myself, as I thought I had a USB GSM modem knocking around here that I could try hacking on with 9front (I d

It depends on which bits of C99 it needs, see /sys/src/cmd/cc/c99 in any 9front distribution for an example. I can't speak for any maintainers, but if there's any C99 thing that Nim needs that the C compilers lack: "patches welcome" IMO. - Willow On 04/10/2024 17:54, Emery Hemingway w

This just in from #cat-v on oftc.net: | lot of fucking armchair systems engineers on 9fans these days | the old dont get better, they just atrophy past their peaks | it's definitely a lot of opinions. all of them don't matter | I don't know why I posted politely instead of just saing "if any

I believe you're misinformed about bootstrapping Zig. The link to the Zig README in my previous email is to the section that describes how to bootstrap Zig *using only a C compiler*. For more details, refer to my previous email. The most annoying thing about Zig, potentially, is the "package m

I must admit that my rather non-committal email on V is largely down to my low appetite for years-old programming language drama. Wikipedia is also far from comprehensive. Nothing is quite there yet as a "new language" for Plan 9. Rust is *too* abstract and is quite baroque (see: custom alloca

I did a bit of digging around on the internet about this after Noam's email, because it piqued my curiosity. I'd always dismissed V as basically being Zig, but without any of Zig's evolutionary ideas about memory management and comptime execution. When V was a young project, the lead dev made

[9fans] Pi Zero - Ethernet?

2024-08-07 Thread Willow Liquorice
Hello, I've decided to knock a 9front installation together on a Pi Zero, and I'm debating about whether to use Ethernet or WiFi. How well does Plan 9 / 9front play with the various ethernet adaptors you can get for a Pi Zero? Some old emails in the list mention USB adaptors, but I was wonde
