@flyingsaceur voted project oberon but SOAR running an st80/modern squeak in Keash also sounds nice

@flyingsaceur some kind of FORTH on a Z180, trying to explain to passing business people that this will 100% browse and edit structured data and run reports more securely and reliably than what they're using

@flyingsaceur also theres oberon for the PIs but i am yet to debug usb subsystem borkage after the weird two of the weird shutdown it does

@flyingsaceur Really tough. I want the log cabin, and I can take or leave OpenBSD, but I think I'd want to get away from the PC platform. However, I think you've hit on something with the pairing: a PC is ordinary, everyman, necessarily unpretentious. Not that you can't have a bougie cabin (chalet, anyone?), but that doesn't sound like what's on offer.

@cstross @rakslice Can I interest you Plan 9 on a DEC 3000 AXP in an abandoned airfield on a remote island?

[lea@sozial.rotierenderfis.ch]

@flyingsaceur Oh if that was feasible: Plan9.

[brouhaha@mastodon.social]

@flyingsaceur
or maybe Plan 9, on anything that runs it

@flyingsaceur 8-bits was enough! A 6502 or Z80 machine will do me fine.

@flyingsaceur HP-UX on PA-RISC or Itanium in a burnt-down data centre.
