    Grow Open Source (by gitcoinco)

    • Well there’s https://gitcoin.co/

    Not royalties, but dues at least.

    A DAO structure would work well, but not many people seem to see it as viable.

  • freebsd-src

    The FreeBSD src tree publish-only repository. Experimenting with 'simple' pull requests....

    • Ok I see, that helps, thank you. That seems to be mostly similar to evdev on Linux after all.

    To me the problem with saying "no special cases" seems to make it quite limited on the kernel side and prevent optimization opportunities. For example if you look at the file node vtables on Linux [0] and FreeBSD [1] there are quite a lot of other functions there that don't fit in 9p. So you lose out on all that stuff if you try to fit everything into a 9p server or a FUSE filesystem or something else of that nature.

  • inferno-os

    Inferno® is a distributed operating system. Inferno represents services and resources in a file-like name hierarchy, including devices, network and protocol interfaces, dynamic data sources, and services.Applications are written in a concurrent programming language, Limbo.

    • Hmmm. Might be coincidence, but today I noticed Inferno was back on GitHub as well (it had been living on Bitbucket): https://github.com/inferno-os/inferno-os

    This is great news altogether - I've been dabbling with Plan9 for a fair bit (mostly on Raspberry Pis of late as they are nicer "disposable" machines and I have plenty of them), so am hopeful that this will lead to more modern versions (especially something whose UX does not rely on mouse chording, which is a chore on modern machines).
