@khm @cienmilojos Seconding this.

I love Plan9 for note-taking, programming, music playback, etc. I use it to store recipes, todo lists, my digital 'notebook' (experiment logs for e.g. cooking, electronics projects, strategy games, run times and speeds); I use it to listen to CDs on the train, watch the occasional youtube video, go over my emails, read some comics (e.g. SMBC, questionable content), ...

just because it's not quite a traditional desktop doesn't stop it from being a general-purpose computing OS :P

@khm @cienmilojos In short, I use Plan9 whenever I want my computer to shut up and get out of the way so I can do what I'm actually trying to do

instead of spending three hours figuring out why a flerb won't kerplunk a splat, or a zet won't finangle a lerp.

@jpf @khm @cienmilojos Natively!

@sigrid wrote treason, a video player which can handle h264 (on my thinkpad T420s, it can just barely handle 720p 60FPS videos if and only if multithreading is enabled)

combine with a tool that can grab videos based on the URL (sigrid also wrote nvi, which grabs videos using an invidious instance) and you have everything needed

http://wiki.9front.org/youtube

% nvi -a /tmp/audio -v /tmp/video ybGOT4d2Hs8 && treason -a /tmp/audio /tmp/video && rm /tmp/audio /tmp/video

plus https://fuyt.lab8.cz/ to search youtube from mothra!
