Rob Pike is in shambles after this devastating betrayal

I kinda expected this paragraph to continue with

Russ Cox is an absolute legend for committing to this joke.

wholly cow was not expecting them to patch the plan9 kernel to make this work

I unironically wish there was an enterprise version of Plan 9. I've been writing most of my scripts in `rc` (something my coworkers put up with because we use nix and I can pull it in automatically with dirnev) and it has been great.

I like the premise of the joke, but then as the explanation ran on… I suddenly became depressed. So much broken stuff, so much complexity…. to, what, make a network tunnel? If all this extra work was the joke, that would be funny.

Happy to answer any questions!
A bunch of us are currently in https://meet.google.com/qre-gydb-mkv chatting about this. (Edit: the hour is over; we all left)
The earlier Apr 1st blog post was https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-enterprise-plan-9-suppo…

Yet I still wonder how cool things would be if Plan9 was the most popular and used OS

Please consider RISC OS next!

The 9fans list had this one for April Fools:
Given the huge maintenance cost of immature computer
architectures such as mips, 386, arm, arm64 and amd64, we
decided to put our focus on the more mature and stable
achitectures:
power64 and itanuim.
Therefore, all architectures other than power64 and itanium are thereby frozen, conserved and promoted to end of life.

My employer-controlled browser won't let me access that URL. At first it was cert errors and now it's just blocked.

This is so cool to see. Plan9 was a wonderful part of my COVID isolation, and I miss playing with it. This might have inspired me to spin up a 9front VM this weekend.
