<midfavila>i honestly love this lil thing
<sad_plan>have you tried compiling upstream 9front stuff instead of p9p? some of it should work right ootb
<sad_plan>rc atleast, or so Ive been told
<midfavila>ive gotten rc running
<sad_plan>nice
<midfavila>ye
<midfavila>never bothered with the rest
<midfavila>too focused on spinning up my custom distro
<sad_plan>I dont really use much of p9 stuff outside of rc. and read from 9base, because of a script I use, which requires read
<sad_plan>I get that
<midfavila>still need to figure out X forwarding over TAP interfaces...
<midfavila>for qemu
<sad_plan>what will you be forwarding?
<midfavila>i kinda wanna experiment with ideas from qubes
<sad_plan>I see. separating things into its own boxes
<midfavila>where you can spin up a headless alpine to run a given application
<midfavila>yeah
<sad_plan>its a good practice security wise
<midfavila>so if theres stuff you dont trust/dont want corrupting the bodily fluids of your pure distro/etc you can do so easily
<midfavila>tbh its mostly because i want to use firefox without installing its deps
<sad_plan>yep. I separate garbage apps on my phone into its own user profile aswell.
<midfavila>or using regular normie software EUGH
<midfavila>i WILL use bearssl and NOBODY will stop me
<sad_plan>could also use conty aswell, which might be a less inconvinent way of doing it
<midfavila>conty?
<midfavila>is that a containerisation thing?
<sad_plan>here https://github.com/kron4ek/conty
<sad_plan>its basically just a chroot
<sad_plan>but it supports compression, x11, wayland, xwayland, drawfs squashfs
<sad_plan>its mostly geared torwards gaming it seems, but you can use it for just firefox and other stuff aswell
<midfavila>bing bing wahoos!?
<sad_plan>what?
<midfavila>nvm :P
<midfavila>conty looks maybe interesting tho
<sad_plan>yeah. you can also build it yourself pretty easily, so you can include only what you want. which is quite good imo
<sad_plan>ive not gotten it to work on my setup yet, have no idea why, but oh well
<sad_plan>maybe this is a tinyx thing. havent tried in velox yet
<midfavila>tinyx is funky
<sad_plan>yeah
<midfavila>i like it though
<midfavila>id like to work on it once i know more about C and X etc
<sad_plan>yeah
<midfavila>ofc id prefer MGR but beggars and choosers
<sad_plan>mgr?
<midfavila>ManaGeR
<sad_plan>ah
<midfavila>ancient graphics subsystem
<midfavila>cross platform for unixes
<sad_plan>yeah, i think i seen it mentioned in the irc logs
<midfavila>monochrome. basically a supremely advanced terminal multiplexer
