@rat @alchemist there are lots of good tips and tricks on the plan9-l@sdf.org mailing list. these should also make it into the https://wiki.sdf.org
@alchemist @SDF
ty folk there's much info out there & many blogin their experiences & insights. Feel like I've never used computers before :o). Can't get mail in rc to work (how to proceed / abort when composing or replying? Plan9 hates keyboards and CTRL key in particular? ^] ^U seem to be only ones work as advertised) or mail in acme. "right click the 2/ after the msg or in this sentence" does nothing when I try. Notice that vps console says "page: newwindow: '/env/wsys' file does not exist".
In the spirit of contributing something / anything here's my current go to snarf for pasting in rc to get something I can use to ssh sdf and use com (did I ever mention white backgrounds give me migraine?):
window vt -b -f /lib/font/bit/fixed/unicode.10x20.font
The first thing I do in this new window is use the right click menu to select 24x80.
smj suggested another font somewhere but I found it had problems with text cursor placement because character width stuff was whack.
@alchemist @SDF @rat I look forward to that post!
@ffuentes @SDF @rat It is already on the mailing list. Here's the link:

(just noticed it has a huge amount of typos on less relevant parts... will fix that later)
@alchemist @SDF @rat sad that it doesnt load in our VMs because it's HTTPS 😂
@ffuentes Dang, that's bad.
But perharps you could use imap instead of imaps when invoking upas/fs
@alchemist I mean the website
@ffuentes oops 👀
Just disabled HTTPS enforcing, should be fine now
@alchemist @SDF
you are well advanced compared to me :o).
