This week’s Lazy Reading just built itself up quickly; autumn arrives in the northern hemisphere and suddenly a lot more activity starts going on.

•  9vx, Plan 9 as a user process.  (sorta like a vkernel?)  Via Sascha Wildner on IRC.
• Found at the same location: You are not expected to understand this.
• Michael W. Lucas, sometime BSD author, has 3 short horror stories available for free, for a limited time.   Be warned; there’s no BSD in these stories, as far as I can tell.  In fact, they contain genuine horror, not “and then… the server ran Windows ME!” kind of nerd horror.
• Also from Mr. Lucas, it’s always nice to see DragonFly hit production.
• A nice explanation of the recent TLS vulnerability.  (via)
• Chumby creator Bunnie Huang’s look at future hardware is optimistic, but I like it.  If nothing else, it implies easier driver support.  If that names seems familier, Bunnie’s MicroSD saga was previously linked here.  (via)
• This short Overcoming Bias post is about nanotech, but a certain sentence in there struck me as a good way to determine how you plan out your computer infrastructure (via):

There are four ways to deal with system damage: 1) reliability, 2) redundancy, 3) repair, and 4) replacement.
