I read these descriptions of ideas behind #PLan9 : “An ‘early catch phrase’ of Plan 9 ‘was to build a UNIX out of a lot of little systems, not a system out of a lot of little UNIXes.’” and “computers would handle different tasks: small […] machines […] would serve as terminals providing access to large, central, shared resources such as computing servers and file servers.” I wonder whether anybody uses #Plan9 this way. I hear only about self-contained system. Computing servers anyone?

@mcepl it is the way I hope it would work; my router would be running plan9, I would connect to it (import? cpu? I haven't internalized that yet) from my plan9 laptop without using any extra tools. And so on.

@tetrislife @mcepl that's pretty much exactly how I communicate with my 9front router.
