First time I get to enjoy the wonderous hell that is bootstrapping golang from C -> 1.26. I can't even remember how many layers deep this is anymore.

honestly it isn't that bad, it's just downloading mostly even numbered releases then using the prior to build the next in a loop. makes one appresiate not needing to bootstrap from hand punched asm to clang every time you install an os tho.

what the fuck are you even doing

I decided I wanted to try connecting my 9front machine to an ollama instance I have running on one of my linux machines. Sure it can use simple json strings or even a rest api, but there's this nice convenient golang api I can just grab, I thought - naively. well. It requires a fairly new golang, and 9front's most recent version is old af. Since I was already waist deep when I realized it was going to be a clusterfuck, I decided why not just keep going. Now my 9front grid is probably 1 of like 2 total grids with fully updated golang. I haven't been able to do more than test that it works yet tho. There may be complications.

since apparently vibe coding isn't going anywhere before the total collapse of western civilization, I figure I should at least try it to see how much I hate it and why. And since I already know I hate using extensions in vim, and vscode, why not add it to plan9 using the plumber. at least then it will only be there when I tell it to, and in the ways I tell it to. And it will be easy to modify stuff to see what works better or worse.
