   So it begins.

   t42 running 9front

   Another year, another week of the Pentium-M man. I know 9front.
   Not in the sense that I know how to operate it properly. I've been
   drawn to it for a few years now. Had a dedicated hard drive with
   it for the past year for when I needed an escape to what
   conclusion to computing should've been. This week's going to be
   different. I'll be spending it with 9front exclusively.

   I'm using a T42 with a single 512M memory stick, and the CPU
   locked at minimum speed through BIOS settings. I also run a local
   OpenBSD server through bhyve, with the same specs. This is to give
   me a bit of a helping hand, should I run into issues, but I aim to
   avoid using it, unless absolutely necessary. Similarly I will not
   be using my cell phone for anything but work related necessities.

   My goal is to grow comfortable with the native plan9 environment
   and try developing something silly for uxn, which I have already
   successfully compiled. Somehow I feel this will be one of those
   productive weeks and I can't wait.

    OpenBSD addendum

   It's a few minutes past midnight. The challenge began. The T42 is
   asleep and I'm pecking at a keyboard connected to the low-spec
   OpenBSD server. No xenodm, mind you.

   Guess what, child of the machine spirit, tmux beats 4 aces. Here's
   a tip for ya miceless ones (you need tmux, links2, mpv and
   yt-dlp):

     * start tmux
     * start links2
     * go to your favorite invidious instance (ie: yewtu.be)
     * search for a song
     * move the cursor on a link to the song (ie:
       yewtu.be/watch?blablah)
     * CTRL-B [
     * move cursor to the url at the bottom.
     * CTRL-SPACEBAR (or just SPACEBAR)
     * select the url with cursor keys
     * CTRL-W (or ENTER)
     * open a new tmux window (CTRL-B C)
     * $ mpv --no-video <CTRL-B ]>
     * repeat for as long as you can
     * alternative do $ yt-dlp <CTRL-B ]> to save the video

   They offered you the world. Receive it under your own terms.
