# old computer challenge 4: day 9

the challenge has been over for almost a day now.
i was thrown off in quite a few places going back to my regular
setup. i grew used to `rio`, and `plan9port`'s `rio` is

1. janky
2. laggy
3. lacking window swallowing

i really like automatic window swallowing.
i'm working on getting it set up.
my main laptop lacks any physical buttons,
which is throwing me off.
i am again considering getting a thinkpad X200 or something.

the plumber is fucked if you need to plumb a file name
with spaces in it. i do not feel like putting in the
annoying amount of effort to fix it.

plan9port, like 9front, does not have any support for
fallback fonts. maybe there's a program or something that
merges font files together, because that's basically the
one thing that is stopping me from mostly switching from
`vi` to `sam`.

i like `sam`. i'm writing this in plan9port's `sam` right now.
i would try out `acme` but i would like to
get the p9p plumber configured first, which may be a challenge
because i have a shit load of files with spaces in the name.
also mouse chording was a shit idea and you can't do them at all
on a touchpad without physical buttons.
