And for the county it has at least tripled. I heard at least one other
woot for Plan9 at Brad Fitzpatric
I heard that too (I think the woot was for Go on Plan 9/ARM). I'm sorry I
missed that meetup.
I've been thinking about setting up a meetup for 9fans in Seattle area.
There seems to be renewed interest (or perhaps it's my wishful thinking).

Look into hinting and subpixel hinting modes of Freetype2.
For different people different combinations of modes (full, medium,

Hinting is usually set via symlinks under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to what's

I mostly lurk around here, as I'm greener than green when it comes to
plan 9. At some point in time, a friend and I were discussing setting
up a small-sized computing cluster for small scale distributed
computations. I was keen on the idea of using inexpensive hardware (we
even joked about using a

uses m4 as there is no compiler on Sol/Sgi. It was used to create 9p

There isn't much desire to port as most programs should be rethought.

I am about a quarter of the way to a similar setup.
My goal is to have a specialty for each of the Pi's (sensors, controller,
terminal, router) without preventing them from doing general tasks. I'm hoping
to eventually connect up some Pi zeros as leaf nodes for just sensor/control
and plumb thr

I could put it up as a troff file on a 9P share but then how will people find

Yeah, but me, I prefer banging my head repeatedly against a brick wall
while chewing broken glass to using this troff thing. In this case, the
new-fangled stuff is just better, at least for normal people who just want
to get stuff done.
