# 9front + UNIX
The best of both worlds
Like many people I use UNIX (Linux) for "real" work, but, unlike most, I use 9front all day everyday. This is thanks to the wonderful work by the 9front people's ssh system. Here are the tools I use:
sshfs(1)
vt(1)
ssh(1)
These tools give me full access to my UNIX system from my preffered os. Here's how it works:
First I connect to my UNIX machine via sshfs:
sshfs fulton@tux
This exposes all the files in my UNIX system's home dir under /n/ssh in my current namespace. Then I'll open my favorite editor acme with:
acme -l lib/work.dump
This opens the editor with my saved work preset. Of course, I'll need to build things, so I use a vt(1) - A virtual UNIX terminal and ssh(1) to get a shell.
vt ssh fulton@tux
This gives me a great lag free editing experience (the only time acme read or write from the server is saving files) in my favorite os, along with the build tools I need.
To be honest, this is much better than what I had before no more juggling git commits to be able to move from desktop to laptop and no more laggy ssh vim instances.

# A quick update
Hey, Just a couple of quick updates.
My website is very different, with more changes to come. Why? Well I'm trying to get college recruiters interested in me and make a better website for all you nerds out there.
As part of this, my blog is now on the "big web". to do this I made a quick gemtext to html awk script.
=> https://fulton.software/git/g9srv/HEAD/gemtohtm/f.html the awk script
This was my first real use of awk, I quite enjoyed using it.
In other news this server now mirrors 9front and seeds the 9front torrents

I also saw this Wired article about a week back
=> https://www.wired.com/story/the-full-story-of-the-stunning-rsa-hack-can-finally-be-told/ Wired article
I really enjoyed it, you probably will too.
