      I agree with almost everything Drew says here. But this line made me chuckle:

      They deplatformed /r/WSB because they were financially threatened by them.

      If you’re offering someone a service, and some of your users are using it to coordinate activities that you or your investors deem a threat to your ongoing existence, it would be irrational to continue offering that service to those users.

      We’ve been kicking the tires on this recently, and it’s really nice. For the kind of stuff we’re doing, google docs isn’t quite right and we’d prefer to self-host. Nextcloud isn’t quite what we’re looking for either, and this was easier to get running.

      It feels like a collaborative editor (in a good way) similar to one of those but with github-ish flavored markdown.

      Really interesting report on plan9, the operating system that never was (finished), where every API is a filesystem.

      Sidenote: the author got mad at the nazis from 9front and ends the article with a pertinent quote from Simon Wiesenthal:

      For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.

        I love that he called it “the sagrada familia of operating systems”. That’s a very neat explanation of Plan 9 to my eye.
